Measure 3/8” down on the fuse right above the wing spar (above right). Carefully poke the
rods close together into the fuselage while twisting at this measured location. You can
optionally sharpen one side of the wing strut rods with a Dremel or sandpaper (above left).
Make sure you where a suitable dust mask and proper safety gear. You want the rods so they
just slightly protrude through the other side of the fuselage. Cut slices in the wing fences
where we marked previously (above right) so that the carbon fiber can slide in and rest on the
wing. Pull the rods out of the fuselage slightly and add some glue to hold them in. Note the
weights on the wings holding them flat while we install the struts.
Slightly move the carbon fiber struts over with your knife blade make slices and press the
carbon fiber rods into them. I use CA to glue the rods in and later glue a small mound over the
rod/wing with Welder or hot glue to give it a stronger bond. Hold the slices in the wing fences
open and let the rods settle in the slice on there own as pictured. Glue the rods in and the
slices back together. Repeat the wing strut installation on the other side of the wing.
