Slide the two wing panels together and realign them. Quickly wipe away
any excess epoxy, using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol, and use pieces of
masking tape to hold the two wing panels aligned until the epoxy fully cures.
IMPORTANT
It is of the utmost importance to the integrity of the wing centre-section joint that you apply a generous amount of
epoxy to
both root ribs

Once the epoxy has fully cured, remove the masking tape and double-check the centre-section joint. If any gaps are present, mix a

YOU'LL NEED THE FOLLOWING TOOLS AND SUPPLIES:
STEP 1: INSTALLING THE WING-SCREW DOUBLER
T
Cut away the covering material from over the top and bottom of the two
predrilled wing-screw mounting holes in the trailing edge of the wing. The holes
are located 5/8" (16mm) in front of the trailing edge and 1-1/4" (32mm) out from
the centre-section joint.
T
Cut away the covering material from over the predrilled holes in the
wing-screw doubler.
T
Place the wing-screw doubler onto the top of the wing and align the predrilled
holes in the wing-screw doubler with the predrilled holes in the wing.
T
While holding the wing-screw doubler in place, draw an outline around it
onto the wing.
IMPORTANT
The back edge of the wing-screw doubler may hang past
the trailing edge of the wing. This is normal.
T
Cut away the covering material from over the two wing strut mounting holes
in the bottom of the fuselage. Each hole is located 3/4" (19mm) behind the
main landing gear bracket and 1/2" (13mm) in from the fuselage sides.
T
Cut away the covering material from over the four wing strut mounting holes
in the bottom of the wing. Two holes are located in each half of the wing, 20"
(508mm) out from the centreline of the wing. The two forward holes are
located 7" (178mm) in front of the aileron hinge line and the two rear holes
are located 2-3/4" (70mm) in front of the aileron hinge line.
T
Install the wing onto the fuselage.
T
Mount the two wing struts onto the fuselage, using two M3 x 10mm machine

them loose until after you secure the wing struts to the wing.
T
Align the two holes in each wing strut with the two holes in each half of the
wing, then secure the wing struts to the wing, using four M3 x 10mm machine

IMPORTANT
After tightening the four wing strut mounting screws in the wing, tighten the two wing strut mounting screws in
the fuselage.
