E3. Cover the car side in the same fashion as the driver pod.

Cut slits along curves to allow for the covering to wrap properly

around the edges. Leave a 1/8” to 1/4” overlap on one side of the

pod. Cover the other side in the same fashion, but cut all excess

around the edges. The over lapped side should face towards the

wing core when attached.

F. Spoiler Assembly

F1. Find the center point of the spoiler and spoiler support

bracket. Match up the two center points and make a mark around

the spoiler where the bracket will attach.

F2. Using a rotary tool set at 1/8” depth, cut out the foam

between the marks made in step F1. Test fit the spoiler support

bracket. Continue to cut the foam out until a flush fit is estab-

lished.

F3. Using the same covering techniques as before, cover the

spoiler support brackets, spoiler and winglets.

G. Final Assembly

G1. Temporarily attach the fuselage to the wing. Use a felt tip

non-permanent marker to outline the shape of the wing onto the

fuselage.

G2. Cut out the covering approximately 1/8” down from the

line your created and remove the covering from this area. Wipe up

any marker lines with a rag and alcohol.

G3. Use a liberal amount of 30 minute epoxy on the wings cen-

ter cut out and the bottom of the fuselage. Slide the fuselage into

the wing until the back of the fuselage is flush with the back of the

wing center piece. Make sure the fuselage saddle is seated well on

the leading edge of the wing. Wipe up and excess epoxy before it

dries.

G4. Cut a slit along the previously created 1/8” line on the

center cut for the driver pod. Try to make the cut as centered as

possible. Do not remove the excess covering, it will fold into the

cutout and provide a snugger fit for the driver pod. Make a mark
