When the glue has cured in Stage 1, trial fit the second wing panel
onto the first to ensure that the two panels fit without an excessive
gap.
Now apply plenty of epoxy to the joiner and wing rib where it will
join the second wing panel of epoxy. Use 30 minutes epoxy to
ensure a strong bond and give yourself plenty of working time. As
with the wing joiner, the epoxy should ooze from joint and the
excess cleaned off with a rag or tissue before it cures.
Use low tack masking tape to hold the two panels together until the
glue cures.
1.5 Carefully insert the joiner all the
way to the center line
2.1 Apply plenty of 30 minute epoxy
glue
2.3 Slowly close the gap
2.4 Use tape to hold tightly together
Once the glue has cured completely (allow several hours at least), the tape can be removed from the wing panels.
To cover the joint in the wings, a length of wing joiner tape is supplied. Starting from the upper side, stick the tape
centrally over the joint ensuring that it is pressed down firmly as you work around the wing. Wrap the tape all the
way around the wing joint in one piece, starting and finishing at the wiring harness cavities at the bottom of the
wing.
