23.
Sand the top spar, bottom sheeting, and trailing edge on each wing as shown so they meet flush when the wing is joined. Lay the
wing flat and use the angle guide on the 3/32” balsa sheet to get this angle correct.

Spread thin some 15 to 30 minute epoxy onto the top and bottom of ONE side of the laminated joiner from step 23 where it meets
the spars and insert it back between the spars in the right wing. Clamp it together and allow it to dry.

THIS STEP IS VITAL. MAKE SURE YOU GET EVERYTHING LINED UP PROPERLY. Dry test fit everything before gluing
anything. Mix up some 30 minute epoxy. Add some epoxy to the top and bottom of the laminated center balsa joiner and slide the
left wing onto it. Spread epoxy onto the rear wing joiner (the thicker of the 2) and press into place behind the spar, making sure the
bottom of the brace is flush with the bottom of the spar. Spread epoxy onto the front wing brace (and on the bottom of it) and place
into position. Make sure everything is pressed together, flush with the spars, and that the front joiner is pressed against the wing
bottom sheeting, and use clamps to hold everything in place while the epoxy dries. Also make sure that the trailing edges and
leading edge sheeting come together.
