Step 11.

A small drop of medium CA glue will help hold the

blind nuts in place. Use care not to get the CA on the inner
threads of the blind nuts. Apply the CA from underneath.

Step 12.

Trial fit the wing into position on the fuselage. Thread

the wing hold-down screws into the wing and loosely tighten.
Check the alignment of the wing by measuring the alignment as
you did in Step 9. It may be necessary to slightly enlarge the
holes with a small round file to obtain the proper alignment.

Step 13.

Locate the yellow wing center tape. Apply to the top

and bottom of the wing center using a covering iron.
