Punch-out and separate the two nested
clear winglets. Punch-out the 1
1/4" x 1/4" slot in the winglet
.
(See Figure 14)
Put a piece of fiber filament tape through the slot to the top of the wing
and wrap it around to the bottom of the wing. Add two more pieces of tape to secure the
winglet in place. Make sure that the elevon will not bind against the winglet as it moves.
The winglets are at the very back of the airframe so they will seriously impact the
balance of the plane. The tape method of fastening is both light and strong. If a
different winglet fastening system is preferred, keep the weight down to the weight
of three short strips of tape.
