  3. With the outer wing panel tight against the wing 

center section, use a 3/32-inch ball driver to install the 

4-40 x 1-inch socket head bolt that secures the outer 

panel to the center section. Complete for the opposite 

wing panel.

 

4. Position the wing on the fuselage. Use two 1/4-20 x 

2-inch nylon bolts and a flat screwdriver to secure the 

wing to the fuselage. Ensure you connect the air lines as 

well as the servo wires from the wing into the respective 

ports on the receiver before fully installing the wing.
