Wing Attachment
The default method for wing attachment is through the use of a captured leading edge wing saddle, centering pins, and
nylon wing bolts. Optional rubber band attachment may be utilized at the expense of spoiler function. Spoiler may not be
made fictional when using rubber band wing attachment.
Note: Covering has been omitted from wing assembly photos below. Do not install the following parts until you have
completed covering your wing in AeroFILM or AeroFILM Lite.
1.
Test fit the 1/16 in. ply wood parts LE3 (sheet 20/21) to the slots in the wing leading edge center section. LE3 is
captured both at the leading edge and along the length of the part as it nests into the slots of the doubled center
wing ribs. Test fit of wing with LE3 temporarily installed to fuselage assembly and wing saddle. If required,
adjust fit of LE3 to wing and fuselage by sanding part. Once satisfied with the fit of these parts glue LE3 into
position by wicking thin CA glue within the slots that receive the part.
2.
Locate 1/16 in. plywood part W6c wing bolt doubler (sheet 20/21). Cover the top surface of this part with
AeroFILM or AeroFILM lite. Leave the bottom of the part natural wood. Center this part as illustrated over the
wing center section trailing edge matching the holes in W6c with the holes in the wing center section sheeting.
Use a hot, fine tipped, soldering iron or hobby knife to remove a section of covering material from your wing
directly beneath where W6c will be installed to expose bare wood. Bond W6c to wing trailing edge using
medium CA glue.
For optional rubber band on wing see plan set for proper installation of wing mount lugs.
