13.
Apply epoxy from inside the nose to
secure the windshield in position.
14.
Locate the 4 cabane struts and 8
1 cm (5/16-inch) long wood screws.
15.
As shown at the right, test-fit the cabane struts into
their openings in the upper wing’s center section.
16.
Test-fit the cabane struts into their openings on each
side of the fuselage.
17.
Insert and center a wing rod through the upper wing’s center section.
18.
Test-fit the
horizontal
stabilizer into its
slot. Ensure the
horizontal
stabilizer is
centered and at
90 degrees to
the centerline
of the fuselage.
19.
As pictured above, visually compare the upper wing’s center section to the horizontal stabilizer. If
either side of the upper wing’s center section looks higher or lower than the horizontal stabilizer,
adjust the depth of the upper wing’s cabane struts in their openings so the upper wing’s center
section aligns with the horizontal stabilizer.

Mylar covering the

openings are to secure the
cabanes to the fuselage with
screws instead of epoxy.)
