❑
Test-fit the wing joiner into each wing panel. It should slide easily
into each wing panel, up to the centerline you drew.
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
IMPORTANT
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
When the wing joiner is installed, it should not fit
tightly into the wing panels. It should actually be slightly loose. This
will ensure that when you glue the wing joiner into place that epoxy
can get into the joints between the wing joiner and the joiner box.
This will ensure the strongest joint possible.
☞
If the wing joiner does not fit properly, use 220 grit sandpaper
with a sanding block to lightly sand the sides and edges of the wing
joiner, until you are satisfied with the fit.

SECTION 7: WING ASSEMBLY
STEP 1: ALIGNING THE WING PANELS
❑
Remove the aileron from each wing panel and set the ailerons aside for now.
☞
The ailerons are temporarily held in place for packing purposes, using either thin plastic tabs in the hinge slots or extra hinges.
These pieces can be thrown away at this time. They won't be used for assembly.
❑
Using a modeling knife, cut away and remove the excess covering
material that overlaps onto the root ribs of each wing panel, leaving
about 1/16" overlapped so it does not pull away.
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
IMPORTANT
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
It's very important to the integrity of the wing
center-section joint that you remove as much covering material from
the root ribs as possible. Do not omit this procedure or the wing
center-section joint may fail during flight.
❑
Use a ruler and a pencil to locate and draw a vertical centerline on
one side of the wing joiner.

✦
The wing joiner is cut in the shape of a shallow
"V." When you test-fit the wing joiner in the next procedure, make
sure that this "V" shape is toward the
top of the wing panels. This
will ensure that the wing panels fit together with the correct amount
of dihedral.
