Wing retention system
(I built the wing first because of this step). If the wing locating dowel is not installed, drill a 5mm
(0.196 diameter or # 9 drill) hole in the leading edge and install the locating dowel at the center of the
wing.
Insert the wing into the fuse saddle, thread the nylon wing retention bolt into the plywood retainer
plate, and put the 3mm plywood wing locating piece on the dowel and in the fuse. Measure the wingtip
to back edge of fuselage and make sure the distance from each wingtip to the fuse end is the same.
Make adjustments to the hole in the plywood piece if necessary.
When wing is lined up, glue the ply wing locating piece in the fuselage. Remove the wing and
reinforce glue the wing retaining piece in the fuselage.
