51.
Locate and if necessary slice through the Mylar covering
the openings for the interplane struts in the top of both
lower wing panels and the tops of both upper wing
panels.
52.
Insert and center both wing rods in the top- and bottom-
wing center sections. Test-fit all 4 wing panels onto their
wing rods.
53.
Attach the ends of the
Y-harness’s 6-inch
extensions to the
servo-like ends on the
aileron servo’s
extensions. (NOTE: We
recommend using optional servo-extension safety
clips to help secure all such connections.)
54.
Temporarily secure the wing panels to their center
sections with approx. 4 inches of
3/4
-inch-wide trans-
parent tape where each wing panel touches its center
section. (NOTE: Since disassembly is optional, instead of
using tape, a conservatively-minded modeler may apply
epoxy to the wing rods to permanently secure the wing
panels to their center sections.)
55.
As shown at the right, use epoxy to glue the identical top
and bottom aileron braces into their precut openings in
the ailerons. Carefully position each brace at 90 degrees
to the surface of the ailerons and set the ailerons and
braces aside to allow the epoxy to cure fully.
56.
Gently spread the top and bottom wing panels apart
enough to test-fit all 4 of the FRONT interplane struts
from the package marked “
F
.” Do not apply glue
at this time.
(NOTE: The package marked “
R
” contains the 4
REAR interplane struts; there is a preinstalled
bolt and nut at the middle of each rear strut.)
57.
Test-fit all 4 of the REAR interplane struts as
shown at the far right and below. Be sure to
face the threaded ends of the bolts toward
each other. (Do not apply glue at this time.)
