With fiber filament tape, tape the top beds together and then tape the bottom beds to-
gether.

Assemble Wings
There are three parts to each wing panel. The wing core is shipped
between the top and bottom beds. The beds are used as construction jigs. Always use
the beds as a base when working on the wings. They will be useful for storage and for
tune-ups and repairs, so save them.
Remove the hairs and zigzags from the wing cores and beds by lightly rubbing on them
with a scrap piece of foam. Lay the bottom right and left wing beds on a flat surface.
Set the wing cores on the beds and lightly block sand the wing panels (cores) with #320
paper and round the leading edge (LE).
(See Figure 2)
Lay the top bed on a flat surface. Spray the root (wide) end of the panels with 3M Super
77 adhesive. Hold the spray head 1 inch from the root. Spray a long bead along the root
edge. Spread the bead with a small brush, a mixing (popsicle) stick, or scrap foam. Let
the adhesive get tacky dry to the touch. Put the wing panels together. Make sure that the
spar slots are aligned. Put two pieces of fiber tape on the top and bottom.
