40 comes from the
factory with two predrilled holes in the leading edge
of the wing for the alignment dowels. You will have to
drill out the two bolt holes in the trailing edge of the
wing. First install the leading edge dowels, drill the
wing bolt holes in the trailing edge, and then install
the wing bolt plate.
Step 1.
Locate the predrilled leading edge dowel holes located
on both sides of the center joint of the wing. Carefully remove
the covering from the holes with a hobby knife.
Step 2.
Trial fit the leading edge wing dowels into the holes.
There should be approximately 1/2" of dowel protruding from
the leading edge of the wing. After inserting the dowels, mark
each dowel at the leading edge of wing.
Step 3.
Remove the dowels and mix 6-minute epoxy. Use a
generous amount of epoxy in the leading edge holes and on the
portion of the dowels that will be inserted into the wing. Insert
dowels into the wing to the marks you previously made on the
dowels and wipe off any excess epoxy. Be sure to allow epoxy to
dry thoroughly before proceeding to the next step.
Step 4.
After the epoxy has cured, trial fit the wing to the fuse-
lage by inserting the leading edge dowels into the former in front
of the wing saddle of fuselage. If wing dowel fit is too tight in the
fuselage former, carefully enlarge the holes using a round file in
the former just enough to get the wing dowels inserted.
