A Remove the left and right wings and the front and rear spars from the fret and
remove any burrs from the attachment tags.
B Check their orientation, then twist all the ribs on each wing through 90°.
C Use the spar fold template and put a fold in each spar to give 10° sweepback to
the wings.
D Make the rib/wing structure into a parallelogram to suit the sweepback.
Engage the slots in the front and rear spars in the slots in the ribs of the right
wing then bond the wing spars in place.
Note - Four ribs on each wing have a bracing rod below that rib, and the spars
go between the ribs and the bracing rods.
E Put the rear spar between the front and rear landing gear struts (below the
fuselage) . Engage the slots in the front and rear spars in the slots in the ribs of
the left wing then bond the wing spars to the ribs of the left wing.
F Attach the spars to the front of each landing gear strut.
Note - There is a small lug on each landing gear strut to give the correct angle
of incidence for the wings. The rear spar is lower than the front spar.
