❑
Once the epoxy has fully cured, remove the masking tape and double-check the center section joint. If any gaps are
present, mix a small quantity of 30 minute epoxy and carefully fill any remaining gaps. Quickly remove any excess epoxy
using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol, and allow the epoxy to thoroughly cure.

Step 1: Installing the Wing-Screw Doubler
❑
Using a modeling knife, cut away and remove the covering material from over the top and bottom of the two predrilled
holes in the trailing edge of the wing. The holes are located 1/2" in front of the trailing edge and 7/8" out from the centerline.
❑
Using a ruler and a pencil, draw a vertical centerline on one side of the plywood wing-screw doubler.
❑
Using thick C/A, glue the wing-screw doubler to the
bottom
of the wing, making sure that the centerline you drew
lines up with the centerline of the wing, and that the back of the
doubler is even with the trailing edge of the wing.
☞
The wing-screw doubler must be centered on the wing
so that the belly pan will line up when it's installed later.
IMPORTANT
Cut away and remove the covering from the
wing where the wing-screw doubler will be glued into place.
❑
Using a 1/4" diameter drill bit, drill open the holes in the wing through the wing-screw doubler. Use the existing holes
in the wing as a guide.
❑
Remove the two hatch covers and the belly pan from the fuselage and set them aside for now. With the fuselage
upside down, place the wing into the wing saddle and push the trailing edge down into place.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the wing is pushed as far forward as possible. There will be a gap between the trailing
edge of the wing and the back of the wing saddle. This is normal and will be covered by the belly pan when it's installed later.
