JOIN THE WINGS
❍
1. Locate the two plywood
wing joiners
. Using 6-minute
epoxy, glue the joiners together.
❍
2. Test fit the wing joiner into the wing joiner pocket in
each wing half. Sand the joiner as needed until it fits easily
into the pockets. There should be enough room in the pocket
to allow the glue to contact the entire joiner surface when
inserted into the pocket.
❍
3. Once you are satisfied with the fit, apply a liberal
amount of 30-minute epoxy into each wing joiner pocket, on
both sides of the wing joiner and the root ribs of both wing
halves. Clamp the leading edge of the wing and use masking
tape to hold the wing together until the epoxy has cured. Be
certain the leading and trailing edges of both wing halves
accurately align.
❍
4. Using a felt-tip pen, mark a box 1-3/4" x 2-3/8" [44 x 60mm].
❍
5. Cut through the sheeting on the lines you have drawn
with a hobby knife. Remove the sheeting.
❍
6. Locate the die-cut plywood
servo tray
and
servo tray
sides
. Test fit the servo tray sides into the wing cavity. The
notch in the bottom of the servo tray sides will fit over the root
rib of the wings. Sand the notch as needed to get a good fit.
When you are satisfied with the fit, glue the servo tray and
sides together.
❍
7. Glue the servo tray into the wing with 6-minute epoxy.
