5) Remove the assembly and mix a small amount
of Kwik Bond 5 Minute Epoxy. Apply a thin layer of
glue to the inside of the predrilled hole in the fuse-
lage side and to the gluing surfaces of the block.
Reinstall the block and remove any excess epoxy us-
ing a paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Allow the
epoxy to fully cure before proceeding.
q
6) Repeat steps # 2 - # 5 to assemble and install
the second front wing hold down dowel assembly.
INSTALLING THE REAR WING DOWEL
q
7) Using a modeling knife, remove the cover-
ing from over the two predrilled wing hold down
dowel holes in back of the wing saddle. One hole is
located on each side of the fuselage 13-3/4” behind
the front of the fuselage and 3/8” down from the top
of the fuselage.
q
8) Slide the 6mm x 95mm rear wing hold down
dowel through the predrilled holes and center the dowel.
The ends of the dowel should protrude from the fuse-
lage sides equal amounts. See photo # 8 below.

q
9) When satisfied with the fit, place a mark on
each side of the dowel where it exits the fuselage.
Remove the dowel.
q
10) Mix up a small amount of Kwik Bond 5
Minute Epoxy. Apply a thin layer of epoxy to the
inside of the two predrilled holes. Slide the dowel
back into place and align the marks on the dowel with
the fuselage sides. Remove any excess epoxy using
a paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Allow the epoxy
to fully cure before proceeding.
INSTALLING THE WING
q
11) Using a ruler and a pen, locate the center-
line of the fuselage at both the front and the rear of
the wing saddle. Place one mark on the top of the
fuselage at the back edge of the wing saddle and one
mark on top of the forward bulkhead.
These two marks will help you align the wing
when you install it onto the fuselage. You may
wish to make these marks in permanent ink so you
can align the wing correctly each time you install the
wing. This will ensure the wing is aligned properly
every time you fly the airplane.
q
12) Place the wing onto the wing saddle. The
joint where the two wing halves were glued together
is considered the centerline of the wing. Align the
centerline of the wing at both the front and the rear of
the wing saddle with the two centerline marks you
made on the fuselage.
q
13) Using a couple of # 64 rubber bands, tem-
porarily install the wing. To properly install the rub-
ber bands, hook one over one of the front wing hold
down dowels, carefully pull it back over the wing and
hook it over the rear hold down dowel on the same
side. Install two rubber bands on each side for now.
PARTS REQUIRED
q
{1} Horizontal Stabilizer w/Elevator & Hinges
HORIZONTAL STABILIZER
INSTALLATION
ALIGNING THE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER
q
1) Remove the elevator and hinges from the
horizontal stabilizer. Using a ruler and a pen, locate
the centerline of the horizontal stabilizer, at the trailing
edge, and place a mark. Use a triangle and extend this
mark, from back to front, across the top of the stabi-
lizer. Also extend this mark down the back of the trail-
ing edge of the stabilizer. See photo # 9 below.

q
2) Using a modeling knife, carefully remove the
covering from the precut slot in the leading edge of
the stabilizer. The slot is located on the centerline
and is 1-3/16” long and 1/4” wide. Remove the cov-
ering from both the top and bottom of the slot.
