of the wing. The tube will slide in easily. Do not force
the wing tube in farther than it can easily slide.

tube. The pin at the rear will fit into the hole in the
opposite wing panel.
3. The wing panels will fit tightly together. This is
necessary for the wing to fit on the fuselage.

As an option, you can use epoxy to join the wings
together of your Alpha 450. Make sure your vehicle
is large enough to accept the assembled wing before
gluing the two panels into a one-piece wing.
A. Mix 1/2 oz (15ml) of 6-minute epoxy. Use
an epoxy brush to apply a thin layer of epoxy to
the exposed plywood on the left and right wing
panels as shown.
