Step 1: Installing the Center Cabane Strut
☞
Look at the base of the center cabane strut and notice
the two precut notches. The notch in the very end of the strut
should be toward the back of the fuselage when the strut is
pushed into place. The strut will fit only one way.
❑
Test-fit the center cabane strut into the precut slot in the
top of the fuselage. When positioned properly, the strut should
be pushed down completely into place and the strut should
be aligned straight up and down when viewed from the front
of the fuselage.
❑
When satisfied with the alignment, glue the center cabane strut into place using a generous amount of 5 minute
epoxy. Remove any excess epoxy using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol, and hold the strut in place and aligned until
the epoxy sets up.
Step 2: Installing the Top Wing & Outer Wing Struts
❑
Carefully install the four prebent aluminum mounting
brackets (two per wing) to the top of the bottom wing and to
the bottom of the top wing, using four M3 x 10 wood screws.
To position the brackets properly, the vertical portion of each
bracket should be toward the center of the wing and parallel
to the wing ribs.
☞
Pilot holes have been predrilled into both wings for the
wood screws; notice that the wood screws are installed through
the smaller diameter predrilled holes in the brackets.
❑
Mount the bottom wing to the fuselage using the M3 x 20 machine screw provided.
