Step 1. Locate the four wing dowel holes in the fuselage.
Step 2. Locate the two wood dowels and trial fit them into the
fuselage.
Step 3. Position the dowels in the fuselage so an
equal amount projects from each side of the fuselage
(approximately
5 /
8
”).
Step 4. Mix a small amount of 6-minute epoxy and apply it to
the dowels at a position inside the fuselage. By moving the dow-
els back and forth slightly, the epoxy will be worked into the
holes in the fuselage, thus bonding the dowels securely to the
fuselage. Allow the epoxy to cure completely.
Step 5. Once the wing dowels are dry, trial fit the wing to the
fuselage by inserting the leading edge of the wing flush against
the former in front of the forward dowel and securing the wing to
the fuselage with two rubber bands. Position the trailing edge of
the wing in its relative position on the fuselage. It’s helpful to
mark the centerline of the fuselage on either side of the wing
opening in the fuselage and line up the wing center in reference
to the marks you made.
