The ailerons are already precut into the wing core.  Fold up the ailerons and flex the wing to loosen up the hinges. 

 

Cut a spar slit, with a new razor blade, on the top of the wing for the flat carbon spar.  This slit should be the same 
distance back as the precut slot already in the wing.  Lightly sand the spar to help the glue to stick.  Press the spar into 
the slit with the extra spar at the center of the wing. 

 

 

Put baking soda along the spar and work it into the slit with the carbon spar.  The baking soda acts as a catalyst and 
speeds up and hardens the CA glue.  Glue the spar in to the slit with thin CA glue.
