WING ASSEMBLY
❐ Using 5 minute epoxy, attach the front belly plate and wing
alignment dowels and let sit for 30 minutes.
❐ Measure the top and bottom to find center of the wing hold-down
plate and draw a straight line between the two marks. This line will be
used to center the plate on the trailing edge of the wing panel.
❐ Place the plate on the wing panel and mark around the three sides
with a pen or marker. Remove the plate and then remove the
covering material inside the lines. Be careful not to push through the
balsa;remove only the covering.
❐ Apply a liberal amount of medium CA to the exposed wing panel
and place the holddown plate on it,holding it until the CA sets.
❐ Turn the fuselage upside down and trial fit the wing assembly into
place to insure good fit.
❐ Remove the wing and with a 1/4" drill bit drill through the existing
holes in the wing hold down plate and through the trailing edge of the
wing.
❐ Epoxy the wing joint with fiber cloth both on top and bottom.
