tightly against each other as shown.
You can either leave the wing panels where they
can be separated for transport or you may glue
them together using 12-minute epoxy. If you elect to
glue them together, a small piece of gray UltraCote
®
covering is included to cover the joint once this is done.
4. Connect the leads between the receiver and
wing. Make sure the retracts, flaps, ailerons and
any other connections are correct at this time.

the leads are tucked in and not exposed between
the wing and fuselage. Use two nylon wing bolts
and a flat blade screwdriver to secure the wing
to the fuselage.

in the scoop fits the tab on the wing. The scoop is
connected to the fuselage using a magnet.
