TOOLS AND SUPPLIES REQUIRED
ALIGNING THE WING PANELS
❑
1) Using 220 grit sandpaper with a sanding block,
carefully sand smooth the molded seam along only the
wing mounting areas of the fuselage, making sure not to
distort the angles. For a better glue bond it's important
to remove all of the paint from the gluing surfaces. See
photo # 3 below.

2) Using a ruler and a pencil, measure forward
1-3/16" from the trailing edge of one wing panel, at the
wing root, and draw a mark. Measure 1-3/16" out from
the wing root, at the trailing edge, and draw a second mark.
See photo # 4 below.

3) Using a ruler and a modeling knife, carefully cut
off the corner of the wing at the two marks you drew. See
photo # 5 below.

☛
The F-22 Raptor EP uses stabilators for pitch and roll
control. There are no ailerons.
Do not cut out the
molded hinge line on the bottom of the wing.
❑
4) Using 220 grit sandpaper with a sanding block,
carefully sand the wing root smooth and straight, being
careful not to distort the angle.
The proper angle is
molded into both the wing root and the fuselage.
❑
5) Test fit the wing to the fuselage. To line up the
wing properly, the centerline of both the leading edge and
the trailing edge should be lined up with the molded fuse-
lage seam. There should also be a 1/8" gap between the
notch you cut in the trailing edge of the wing and the
molded rear fuselage fairing. See photo # 6 below.

☛
The wing panel should fit firmly against the fuse-
lage side without any gaps between the two. If there are
any gaps, use 220 grit sandpaper with a sanding block to
carefully sand down the high spots.
❑
6) Mix a generous amount of Kwik Bond 5 Minute
Epoxy. Apply a thin layer of epoxy to only the root end
of the wing panel, making sure that you cover all of the
gluing area.
❑
7) Fit the wing panel back into place and realign
it. Remove any excess epoxy that squeezes out of the
joint using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol, and hold
the wing panel firmly in place until the epoxy sets up.
❑
8) Repeat steps # 2 through # 7 to align and install
the second wing panel.
