❑
While holding the wing firmly in place and aligned, drill a
5/64" diameter hole into the middle of the plywood plate, 1/4"
in front of the trailing edge, and down through the wing screw
plate glued inside the fuselage.
❑
Remove the wing from the fuselage and enlarge
only
the hole in the wing using a 1/8" drill bit.
Step 7: Installing the Fiberglass Belly Pan
❑
Using a modeling knife, cut a 3/4" square piece of foam from the foam packing material included in your kit box.
❑
Set your flight battery onto the wing, making sure the front
of the battery is even with the front of the plywood front plate.
❑
Using 5 minute epoxy, glue the piece of 3/4" square foam
to the wing, directly behind your flight battery.
☞
The piece of foam will keep the flight battery from sliding
backwards during flight.
❑
After the epoxy has set up, remove your flight battery from the wing.
❑
Place the wing into the wing saddle and secure it into place using the 3mm x 18mm wood screw provided.
☞
Do not overtighten the screw. You don't want to crush the wing.
❑
Test-fit the plywood plate (rounded w/notch) to the trailing
edge of the wing. To align it properly, the notch should fit
firmly over the tab and there should be a 1/16" gap between
the back of the plywood plate and the fuselage.
❑
When satisfied with the fit, mix a small quantity of 5 minute epoxy and use it to glue the plywood plate into place, being
careful not to get any epoxy between the wing and/or plywood plate and the fuselage.
