The wood pieces will install into the 

pre-cut slots pictured above. Welders 

should be used for this.

Apply a Wet coat of Welders to both 

sides of the part AND squeeze a little 

into the slot area. If possible keep the 

“notch” free of glue. Then slide the 

wood piece in, arrow pointing forward.

Slide the wood piece in until it is ush 

and wipe away any excess glue that 

squeezed out

Once the whole length of the spar is 

install, it should look similar to the 

above picture.

Install the spar DRY. Make sure that 

the slit you cut was “just” deep enough 

so that the spar when fully seated will 

be ush with the wings surface.

Next, cut a 3mm deep slit, centered and 

long enough to accommodate the 

carbon spar. Location front to back is 

determined by the relief cut in the small 

wood pieces just installed
