to accumulate up to ¼ inches above of the ribs. In the same way, place the paste on top
of the trim tab cutter spars and the elevator spar, taking care not to overfill this area. put
some FLOX (about 1/4 inches high) along the trailing edge to glue this surface area as

Carefully position the top casing in place using the previously drilled holes to align.
Once satisfactory alignment is achieved, place weights on ribs and spar. Drill additional
holes along the seam if necessary and secure with metal clecos or screws. Wipe away
excess resin along the seam and allow to cure.
