Step 7.
After the epoxy has sufficiently cured (about 30 minutes),
remove the masking tape from the wing. Now carefully apply the
white and red center wing joint tape to the center joint of the wing.
Carefully remove the protective backing from the tape and align
the red and white of the tape with the red and white trim line of the
covering on the bottom of the wing. Carefully wrap the tape
completely around the wing on the center joint.
Note:
If the aileron connections are already installed, skip to
Step 9.
Step 8.
Locate the aileron connectors and screw them onto the
threaded rods (called aileron torque rods), which are protruding
from the wing. Screw the connector until the rod is flush with the
top of the aileron connector.
Carefully slide the wing halves together. Firmly press the two
halves together, allowing the excess epoxy to run out. Use
rubbing alcohol and a paper towel to clean off the excess epoxy.
Important:
Be sure the wings are pressed firmly together at the
center section. Be sure that the leading and trailing edges line up
properly. Use masking tape as necessary to hold the wing halves in
position. Be sure the front alignment tabs are joined firmly together.
Place a 12

sheet of wax paper (optional) on the edge of a
flat table. Place the center section of the wing on the wax paper.

off the table as shown, using the
gauge you made in Step 5.
Wipe of the excess epoxy using rubbing alcohol and paper
towels. Allow the wing to sit undisturbed overnight so the epoxy
cures completely. The use of the wax paper will prevent the wing
from adhering to the table.
