149...Glue the wing tip onto the end of the wing.

150...Repeat steps 143 thru 149 to attach the left nacelle and wing tip
to the left wing.

151...Glue the wing joiner into the right wing with 5 minute epoxy.
Use a small scrap of wood to spread the epoxy inside the wing on the
spars and shear web. Spread a thin film of epoxy on the joiner and
then insert it into the wing completely. Wipe off any excess glue that
may squeeze out and allow the epoxy to dry.

152...Apply epoxy to the wing joiner and inside the left wing. Spread
glue on the W-1 rib. Slide the wings together and align the W-1 ribs.
Wipe off any excess glue and hold the wings in the proper alignment
with several strips of masking tape.

153...Cut a strip of covering material and cover the seam on the bot-
tom of the wing.
