MOUNT THE WING
❏
1. Slide the wing halves together on the aluminum
tube and center the wing on the fuse.
Note:
Be sure
the wing halves are slid all the way onto the tube.
❏
2. Using a 5/16" drill bit, drill one hole through
bulkheads 3A, 3B, 3C, the dowel plates and the
front ply shear web.
Note:
Only drill through the
bulkheads, then the first front ply shear web. DO
NOT drill through the second shear web.
❏
3. From the 5/16" dowel, cut two 3" pieces. Fit
the 5/16" dowel through the hole you drilled.
❏
4. Drill the second hole the same as the first,
making sure the wing halves are still tight against
each other.
❏
5. Remove the wings from the fuse and the wing
tube. Round one end of each 5/16" x 3" dowel. Epoxy
a wing dowel in place in each wing half, with 1/2”
of the rounded end protruding. Allow the epoxy to
cure completely before continuing.
❏
6. Cut the 1/16" x 2" x 7" birch ply sheet in half,
making two 3-1/2" wing bolt plates. Glue one wing
bolt plate to each wing half as shown.
