7) Using a modeling knife, cut out two 2” long
pieces of colored tape.
❑
8) While holding the outer wing panel at the
proper angle, apply one piece of tape to the top of the
wing joint at the leading edge and one piece at the
trailing edge. This will help temporarily hold the
wing panels in position.
☛
When doing this make sure the two wing panels
are still pushed firmly together. There shouldn't be
any gap between the two panels.
❑
9) Remove the wing from the work table and
turn it over, hanging the outer wing panel over the
edge of the table.

☛
The three wing panels are held together using
four steel pins and colored tape. The steel pins hold
the wing panels at the proper angle and give the joints
their strength. The colored tape prevents the wing
panels from pulling apart. This type of construction
requires no glue to assemble the wing panels and the
wing panels can be easily removed for storage or
transport.
❑
1) Using a ruler, locate the two predrilled holes
in each end of the center wing panel and remove the
covering from over them using a modeling knife. One
hole is located 1-5/16” in front of the trailing edge
and the second hole is located 4-13/16” in front of
the trailing edge. See photo # 3 below.
❑
2) Using a ruler, locate the two predrilled holes
in the root ribs of each outer wing panel and remove
the covering from over them using a modeling knife.
One hole is located 1-5/16” in front of the trailing
edge and the second hole is located 4-13/16” in front
of the trailing edge.
❑
3) Working with the left outer wing panel for
now, carefully push one 3mm x 60mm steel pin into
the forward hole and one 3mm x 20mm steel pin into
the rear hole.
❑
4) Firmly push both steel pins into place until
they both bottom out and can't be pushed in any
farther. See photo # 4 below.

❑
5) Line up the two predrilled holes in the left
end of the center wing panel with the two steel pins
you just installed in the outer panel. Gently push the
two wing panels together until they are fully seated.
❑
6) Lay the center wing panel flat on your work
table. With both wing panels pushed firmly to-
gether, use a ruler and measure the distance from
the wing tip (at the trailing edge) to the top of your
work table. This measurement should be about 4”.
