STEP # 2: INSTALLING THE BOTTOM WING AND WING STRUTS
❑
Place the bottom wing onto the fuselage. Make sure that the top of
the wing is toward the top of the fuselage.
❑
Use a builder's triangle or square to hold the wing and fuselage
perpendicular to each other, then glue the parts together.
❑
Cut two pieces of balsa triangle stock to a length of 6-1/2" (165mm).
☞
We angled the front and back edges to make a more aerodynamic
shape and for better appearance. This is optional.
❑
Cut a notch on one side of each piece of triangle stock to clear the
carbon strip on the wing.
❑
Glue one piece of triangle stock to each side of the wing and fuselage
to strengthen the joint.
❑
Glue the two wing struts to the top of the wing. Use a builder's
triangle or square to make sure that the wing struts are perpendicular to
the wing.

Note the direction the wing struts are mounted. They
should both be angled forward when viewed from the side.
