MAKE YOUR PLANE

   

 

Glue Screw Inserts in WingL2/R2 

Start by gluing screw inserts (PiperCub - ScrewInsert) into WingR2 and WingL2 (4x total). Self 
tapping screws will be landing in these parts so 

​

DO NOT FORGET THIS STEP, 

​

you will not be 

able to glue in the inserts after the wing segments have been glued together. You can also use 
a soldering iron or drill to open up through holes in the wing segment (the holes have detented 
areas showing location and size). 

 

Glue Wing Segments Together 

Apply CA glue along the segments, press two segments together and apply accelerator. The 
glue should dry within seconds and you can release the segments. Repeat until you have glued 
together the entire wing. Alignment tabs make aligning the segments effortless. We plan on 
releasing a build video for this plane but haven’t yet, for gluing technique please view or other 
build videos at
