Step 7.
Once the blind nuts are in place, trial fit the wing onto
the fuselage and insert the nylon mounting bolts. Tighten
enough to hold the wing in place but do not completely tighten.
Check the alignment of the wing to the reference point on the
fuselage again as done in Step 2. When you are satisfied with
the alignment, tighten securely. Remove the bolts and wing.
Apply some 30-minute epoxy to the blind nuts to secure them.
Step 1.
On the rear of the fuselage, carefully remove the tape
holding the shaped fairing blocks onto the fuselage. Note they
are in two separate pieces and fit over the horizontal stabilizer
and around the vertical stabilizer.
