E-flite RV-9 450 Assembly Manual
Insert a 4-40 socket head bolt into each hole to
keep the plate in position while tracing the outline.
11. Use a hobby knife with a new #11 blade to
remove the covering 1/16-inch (1.5mm) inside the
line drawn in the last step.
Use rubbing alcohol and a paper towel to
remove the line drawn on the bottom of the
wing before installing the wing bolt plate.
12. Use medium CA to glue the wing bolt plate to
the bottom of the wing. Make sure the holes in the
plate are aligned with the holes in the wing before
the CA has cured.
