1.
Cut a hole in the wing root of the fuselage for the various servo leads
from the wing. Ensure the hole aligns with the hole previously cut in
the root of the inner wing panel and it is large enough to allow the
servo lead connectors to pass through. Use sandpaper to remove
any sharp edges around the hole.
2.
Insert the wing joiner into the fuselage. The joiner should be a snug
fit in the fuselage opening. Ensure the joiner is centered in the
fuselage.
3.
Slide the inner wing panels over the ends of the wing joiner,
connecting the servo leads and inserting the wing alignment pin in
the fuselage as you slide the panel on.
4.
Thread the wing retention nut onto the threaded wing stud from
the inside of the fuselage. Hand tighten the retention nut, ensuring
the various servo leads are not pinched between the wing and the
fuselage.
5.
Slide an outer wing tube into the outer end of the inner wing panel.
FINAL ASSEMBLY
NOTICE:
Always ensure the wing is clean, dry and free from any dust or
debris prior to installing the tape.
NOTICE:
Do not re-use the tape after disassembling the wing. Use new
tape every time the wing is reassembled.
6.
Slide the outer wing panels over the wingtube until the outer panel
contacts the inner panel. Ensure the wing alignment pin is inserted
into the wing alignment hole.
7.
Wrap the seam between the inner and outer panel with tape. Ensure
the tape does not interfere with the operation of the wing control
surfaces. White PVC electrical tape is recommended. We have found
this tape to be more than sufficient to retain the outer wing panels in
flight, even during aggressive aerobatic maneuvers.
8.
Install the tip winglet as described in the
Winglet Installation
section.
9.
Repeat steps 1-8 for the opposite wing.
10.
Install the cockpit shell, pilot and canopy to the fuselage.
