Section 1: Joining the Wing Halves

Step 4
Test the fit of the wing joiner into one of the outer
wing panels. The joiner should slide into the panel
with little resistance up to the line drawn on the
joiner. Lightly sand the joiner as necessary to achieve
a proper fit.
Note
: The joiner will be angled towards the
bottom of the wing.
Step 5
Test the fit of the wing joiner into the outer wing
panel. The joiner should slide into the panel with little
resistance up to the line drawn on the joiner. Lightly
sand the joiner as necessary to achieve a proper fit.
Note
: The joiner will be angled towards the
bottom of the wing.
Step 6
Use a hobby knife to remove the covering from the
opening in the center panel for the retract servo.
Step 7
Without using any glue, test fit the wing panel and
center panel together using the wing joiner. Guide
the retract linkage into the center panel so it is
visible in the opening for the retract servo. The
panels must fit together without any gaps top or
bottom. If any gaps do exist, use a sanding bar to
lightly sand the root ribs of both panels until the
panels fit together perfectly.
Note:
Read through the remaining steps of
this section before mixing any epoxy.
