STORAGE
.
1. Retract the fuselage pin stopper on each fuselage pin and withdraw each of them
only enough to release the right wing spar. ( Note: rotating the pin back and
forth while pulling makes removal easier).
2. Grasp the wing at the wing tip end, lift very slightly and pull while also holding the
Flaperon, to remove it from the fuselage and set it aside.
3. Fully remove both of the fuselage pins.
4. Remove the left wing using the same procedure and set aside.

NSTALLATION
1. Lubricate all wing attach and flaperon control locations as detailed on 5-26.
2. Installation procedure is the reverse of the removal procedure. (Install the left
wing first, right wing second). The wing root seal strip on the side of the fuselage
can be used to help align the wing at the proper angle of attack while inserting it
into the fuselage. The root end of the flaperon must be properly aligned with the
clevis portion of the flaperon torque tube for the wing to fully insert. (Note:
rotating the pin while pushing/hitting with the heel of your palm helps aid in
pin insertion.)
3. Complete the AOA leak test procedure. (3-16)
