The next step is to glue the sleeves

into the outer wings. Therefore sand

the inner surface of the outer wings

and the top and bottom edge of the

sleeves with rough sand paper. Trial

fit the wing and grind inside the wing

if you need to adjust the height for

perfect alignment between outer and

center wing. You can grind away

some of the carbon, up to 1 mm is

acceptable. The amount of carbon in

the outer wing is way overbuilt and

represents a huge safety margin. As

soon as the wing can be slid on

without force, wrap 3 layers of carbon

rovings on a length of 2-3 cm around

the sleeve. Then apply laminating

resin to the rovings. Use a little bit

milled fiber to thicken the resin which

is then applied on the joint surfaces.

Slide the wings right on, adjust them

perfectly to the surface of the center

wing and hold them in place with a

full width masking tape. Support the

wing tip, if necessary, or use a long

piece of masking tape to support it

towards the center wing. Let the resin

set over night.

Next you should create the permanent

fixture of the outer wing on the wing

fold spar. We recommend to use 2 M4

bolts per wing panel, this gives you

redundancy in regards to engine

vibrations, which can losen a bolt

eventually and you’ll be glad to have

a second one…

While the outer wing panel is securely

taped in the down position to the

center wing, drill with dia. 3.3mm

through wing, sleeve and aluminum

wing fold. Be very careful not to

damage the cylinder rod of the wing

fold cylinder. You should use a depth

gauge (any brass tube over the drill bit

will do) or a very short drill bit to

prevent drilling too deep.
