Step 49:

 Apply white gorilla glue or quick

grip into center wing/fuse joint as shown.

Step 48:

 Lay onto blocks upside down as

shown. Blocks should be taller than canopy.

Step 47:

 Wipe away any glue which squirts out

with acetone and paper towel.

Step 46:

 Work Spars into slots being careful

to center them along the span (other half too)

Repeat for
all wing
spars

We use
two
identical
radio
boxes

Step 45:

 Apply white gorilla glue or quick

grip into wing slots

Work quickly for
this and the
following steps--
one wing at a time

Step 50:

 Repeat for bottom side joints as

shown.

Step 41:

 Obtain two identical large blocks

to use as supports during next steps

The styrofoam
packaging from
your radio
transmitter may
work well

(At least 6” tall)

Step 42:

 Insert wings between spars guiding

them into the slices to locate the wings.

Step 43:

 When satisfied with wing position,

tack glue wing front to fuselage where shown.

Step 44:

 Tack glue rear of wing similarly.

This quickly locks
wing into position
for next steps

Use center marks
on fuse for correct
alignment

use medium CA
and kicker
