Attaching Wings
13.1
Attaching Wings to the Fuselage
The wings are attached to the fuselage as follows :
Step 1
Bring the wing main strut into a correct position to the
wing by means of attaching the auxiliary struts in the
receptacles on the front and rear wing spar.
Step 2
Grip the main strut and raise the wing tip. Keeping the
wing in a vertical position, carry the wing forward at 90°
to the fuselage.
Step 3
Turn the wing into a horizontal position, keeping the wing
tip slightly higher than the wing root.
Step 4
Slowly push the wing against fuselage and wing spar
brackets.
Step 5
Before pushing against the spar brackets, look for the
sideway at the rear spar intake so that to lead the rear
wing spar in the locking position. When the retaining bolt
is touched, rotate the right wing slightly clockwise (the left
wing must be rotated counter-clockwise).
By moving slightly upwards, the rear wing spar will lock into the retaining
bolt and the front wing spar will take position under the retaining bolt of
the front wing tube holder.
Push the front wing spar against the bracket while slightly lowering the
wing tip. The front wing spar will lock into the retaining bolt. At the same
time, launch the lower end of the wing support in the square cross-frame.
Carefully check that both wing spars have properly locked into place.
