2.1
When the epoxy has cured in Stage 1, trial fit the second wing
panel onto the wing joiner first to ensure that the two panels fit
without an excessive gap.
2.2
Now apply plenty of epoxy to the wing joiner and wing root ribs of
both wing panels. Use only 30 minute epoxy to ensure a strong bond
and give yourself plenty of working time. As described in the Step 1.4,
repeatedly apply epoxy and insert into the wing joiner cavity, the
epoxy should ooze from the joint and the excess should be cleaned
off with a rag or tissue before it cures.
2.3
Use low tack masking tape to hold the two panels together until
the glue cures.
1E- Carefully insert the joiner all the way to the cen-
ter line
2A- Apply plenty of 30 minute epoxy
glue to all surfaces.
2C- Use low tack masking tape to hold tightly
together.
3.1
Once the epoxy has cured completely (allow several hours at least), the tape can be carefully removed from
the wing panels. Peel the tape back on itself… do not pull upright away from the wing. To seal and finish the joint
in the wings, a roll of wing joiner tape has been supplied.Starting on the bottom side of the wing, stick the tape cen-
trally 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.

1F - Wipe off the excess epoxy then allow to cure.
2B- Align the two wing panels and slowly close the
gap until the wing root ends are firmly in contact
with each other
3C- Trim off the excess tape.
3B- Continue applying the tape
over the bottom of the wing,
pressing down firmly as you go.
3A- Apply tape over the joint,
