WING ASSEMBLY:
From the kit contents locate the right and left wing panels and the
plywood wing joiner. You will also need epoxy glue, epoxy mixing
supplies, paper towels, and rubbing alcohol.
❑
1) For maximum strength, we recommend using SIG Epoxy
Glue for joining the wing panels in this step.
a) Trial fit both wing panels together, without glue, on the
plywood wing joiner to familiarize yourself with the
assembly. Then, take back apart.
b) Mix up a small amount of epoxy glue. Use a wire or stick
to quickly coat the inside of the wing joiner slot in the end of the
right wing panel. Also, coat the right half of the plywood wing
joiner with glue. Push the plywood wing joiner all the way into the
slot in the right wing panel. Hold the wing joiner in place until the
glue dries, wiping off any excess glue that oozes out of the joint.
c) Mix up a batch of epoxy glue. Use a wire or stick to coat
the inside of the slot in the end of the left wing panel with glue.
Also, coat the stub of the plywood wing joiner, that is sticking out of
the right wing panel, and the bare wood end ribs of both wing
panels. Then, put the wing panels together. Squeeze the panels
tightly together, aligning the leading and trailing edges of the wing
panels with each other. Wipe off any excess glue that oozes out of
the joint with a paper towel soaked in rubbing alcohol. Hold or tape
the wing panels in proper position until dry.
NOTE:
If possible, get someone to help you with this step. An
extra set of hands makes the job much easier. While one person
holds the two wing panels together in correct alignment, the other
person can clean off the excess glue and tape the wing panels
tightly together.

2)
Optional Step:
A 3/8" wide strip of white covering
material is supplied to cover the center joint of the wing panels.
Remove the clear backing from the covering, and then, iron the
strip in place. This covering strip has no structural purpose, it
simply gives the wing a more finished look.
❑
3) Test fit the assembled wing onto the fuselage. The plywood
tab that sticks out from the center leading edge of the wing fits into
a cutout in the front fuselage former. Make sure the wing slides the
entire way forward, snug against the back of the fuselage former.
At the rear, align the wing with the fuselage, and then, use the two
4-40 x 1" nylon wing bolts to secure the wing in place on the
fuselage. After checking the fit, remove the wing for the next step.
