Use a straight edge on the bottom of the 
wing to adjust the rod length. 

 
Locate the holes in the wing bottom for the 
strut-attach brackets and open them 
carefully making sure not to punch out the 
installed “T” nuts. Install the attach 
brackets and snug the screws, do not tighten 
the screws until the wing and struts are 
installed on the fuselage. 

 
Slide the wings over the wing tube and 
secure with the screws. 

 

Attach the wing strut to the landing gear, 
snug the screw but do not tighten. 

 
Adjust the clevises so there is no endplay but 
not so tight as to distort the wing. Now 
tighten the gear screw. 
 

Install the top hatch with two wood screws, 
they will need to be removed to remove the 
wings for transport.
