  Cut away the covering material from over the four wing strut mounting holes 

in the bottom of the wing. Two holes are located in each wing panel, 24-1/8" 
(613mm) out from the centreline of the wing. The two forward holes are 
located 5" (127mm) in front of the aileron hinge line and the two rear holes

  Cut away the covering material from over the two wing strut mounting holes 

in the bottom of the fuselage. Each hole is located 5/8" (16mm) behind the 
main landing gear bracket and 1/2" (13mm) in from the fuselage sides.

  Install the wing onto the fuselage.

q

  Install the left wing strut onto the fuselage, using one M3 x 10mm machine 

screw and one M3 flat washer. Don't tighten the machine screw yet. Leave it 

loose until after you secure the wing strut to the wing.

IMPORTANT

  The wing struts will fit only one way. When installed, the shorter length of the strut should be toward the leading edge 

of the wing and the longer portion of the strut should be toward the trailing edge of the wing.
