Carefully inspect the edges of the wings and trim any of the edges that don’t match up
perfectly. Now cut out parts #11 and #12. On these parts you will notice white glue tabs
that are to be left connected to the
green central spar. You will also notice
that the wing sections are to remain
attached at the top and bottom of the
spars. See figure 21.
Figure 22 shows the removal of the section that allows for the landing gear strut.
This
piece need not be removed if landing gear is not used.
Now score and fold back at a 90-degree angle the white glue tabs bordering the central
spar. Score and fold the wing sections back at 90-degree angle. Apply glue to the glue
tabs and attach the wing to them. See figure 23.
Do not fold and glue the leading edge
and trailing edge glue tabs.
As you can see this part is to be slid over the
unfinished portion of the wing. Using liquid glue
and a model paintbrush apply glue (sparingly) to
the bottom section. Attach the bottom section to
the wing first. Now brush glue on the top section
and attach it second. You will find that a small
amount of warping is necessary to correctly line
up the paint scheme. This is to create the
necessary dihedral of the wings. At this point trim any excess away from the edges. Fold
the two edge tabs over and glue into place. Repeat this operation with the other wing.
Place the two completed wing sections flat on a table (gear up). Apply glue to the central
