10) There are two predrilled holes
through each strut mounting block in the bot-
tom wing. Using a modeling knife, remove
the covering from over these holes.
o
11) Install one 4mm blind nut in each of
the four holes in the strut mounting blocks. The
blind nuts should be mounted on the inside edge
of the blocks. See photo # 11 below.
o
12) Remove the top wing. Plug the two
interplane struts into the corresponding slots
in the bottom of the top wing. The predrilled
holes in the struts should be on the bottom
and the edge of the struts covered in red should
face the leading edge of the wing.
o
13) Reinstall the top wing making sure
the two outer interplane struts completely en-
gage the two slots in the top side of the bot-
tom wing.
o
14) Secure the outer interplane struts in place
using the four 3mm x 16mm machine screws and
four 3mm flat washers. The machine screws pass
through the strut and thread into the blind nuts
installed in the mounting blocks.

15) Remove the ailerons from the top
wing. Attach the incidence meter to the top
wing and check the incidence. The meter
should read either 0º or -1º.
If the incidence meter does not read 0º
or -1º then you may need to adjust the
metal cabane struts and /or shim the space
between the rear metal cabane strut and the
wing. We have provided a hardwood cabane
shim (D-31) for this purpose.
MOUNTING THE TOP WING
o
16) When completely satisfied with the
alignment of the top wing use threadlock on all
of the metal cabane screws and nuts and tighten
them completely to lock the wing's alignment
in place.
o
17) Using a pen draw a line on each side
of the outer interplane struts where they meet
the bottom surface of the top wing.
o
18) Remove the top wing and outer
interplane struts. Using a modeling knife, re-
move the covering from the interplane struts
from just inside the lines you drew on them.
o
19) Mix up a generous amount of Kwik
Bond 30 Minute Epoxy. Glue the outer
interplane struts into the TOP WING ONLY.
Before the epoxy cures, reinstall the top wing
and secure the interplane struts into the bottom
wing with the four machine screws. Allow the
epoxy to fully cure before proceeding. See
photo # 12 below.
