❍

3. Separate the wings and take out the joiner. Mix up

approximately 1/2 oz. [15cc] of 30-minute epoxy. Use an
epoxy brush to coat both ends of the wing and one half of
the joiner all the way around. Pour a generous amount of
epoxy into one of the wings where the joiner goes, and then
slowly insert the epoxy-coated half of the joiner. Wipe away
excess epoxy as it is forced out of the wing. Note: There
must be no “empty space” inside the wing where the joiner
fits–the cavity must be filled with epoxy. If no epoxy “oozes”
out when you installed the joiner, remove the joiner and add
more epoxy. Then reinstall the joiner. Proceed rapidly to the
next step.

❍

4. Coat the protruding end of the joiner all the way around

with epoxy and pour epoxy into the other wing. Join the wing
to the other joiner/wing assembly, slowly pressing the two
halves together. Allow excess epoxy to drip out as you go.
When the wings come together, wipe away excess epoxy
that is squeezed out. Then use several strips of masking

tape on both the top and bottom of the wing to tightly hold
the two halves together. If epoxy continues to work out of the
wing under the tape, remove one strip at a time and wipe off
the epoxy. Then replace the tape with another strip. Do not
disturb the wing until the epoxy has hardened.

❍

5. After the epoxy has fully hardened, slowly and carefully pull

away the masking tape. If any of the covering loosened, iron it
back down with a covering iron on medium heat. Use a covering
sock over the iron to protect the Vista EP ARF’s finish.

ASSEMBLE THE  FUSELAGE

Join the Stabilizer

❍

1. Cut the covering from the hole in the top of the

fuselage for the forward dowel in the bottom of the vertical
stabilizer (fin).

❍

2. Cut off any covering that has been wrapped around the

side of the fuselage over the top of the stab saddle where
the stabilizer goes.

Read steps 3 and 4 all the way through before
proceeding. It is important to use the proper technique for
joining the wing halves to ensure a strong wing.
