Step 1.
Locate the four wing dowel holes. First, locate the two
which are located inside the fuselage bottom where the leading
edge of the wing rests have been pre- drilled.
Step 2.
Next, locate the two holes in the leading edge of the
wing. You will need to trim the covering over the holes. Mix a
small amount of 12-minute epoxy and apply it to the two
wooden dowels. Insert the dowels in the wing holes. Position the
dowels so they protrude 1/2
′′
out from the leading edge of the
wing. Let the epoxy cure before trying to insert the wing into the
fuselage.
Step 3.
The fuselage wing hold-down holes are located toward
the rear of the fuselage wing opening. Note that the wing blind
nuts are already installed. You will not have to do anything with
these holes other than note their location.
Step 4.
The two wing hold-down bolt holes are located near the
trailing edge of the wing. You will need to trim away the covering
with your hobby knife. Using a 1/4
′′
drill bit, drill out the two
holes.
