Cut away the covering material from within the outline you drew, then glue
the wing hold-down doubler into place.
❑
Cut away the covering material from over the two wing hold-down dowel
mounting holes in each side of the fuselage. Two holes are located 2-1/4" (57mm)
up from the bottom of the fuselage and 1/2" (13mm) in front of the wing saddle,
and two holes are located 2-1/8" (54mm) up from the bottom of the fuselage
and 3/4" (19mm) behind the wing saddle.
IMPORTANT
Glue does not stick well to covering material. To ensure the strongest bond, always make sure to remove the covering
material from the gluing surfaces before gluing the parts together.
sTEP 2: iNsTALLiNG THE WiNG HOLD-DOWN DOWELs
❑
Glue one wing hold-down dowel into the two holes at the front of the wing
saddle, making sure that the dowel is centered from side to side.
❑
Glue the second wing hold-down dowel into the two holes at the back of
the wing saddle, again making sure that the dowel is centered from side
to side.
sTEP 3: iNsTALLiNG THE WiNG
❑
Set the wing into the wing saddle and push it firmly into place.
❑
Carefully center the wing from side-to-side, then use two #64 rubber bands
to temporarily hold the wing in place.
IMPORTANT
Use a minimum of six #64 rubber bands to hold the wing in place for flight.
