While holding the wing panel aligned, turn the assembly
over and carefully trace around the edges of the fiberglass
wing joiner plate using a pencil.
❑
Remove the wing panel and lightly sand the surface of the wing inside the outline you drew to remove the paint. Also
lightly sand the gluing surface of the fiberglass wing joiner plate.
❑
Mix a generous amount of 5 minute epoxy and apply a thin layer to the root end of the wing panel, the wing mounting
platform, and to the gluing surface of the fiberglass wing joiner plate, making sure that you cover all of the gluing surfaces.
WARNING
Do not apply epoxy to the end of the aileron. You don't want to glue the aileron to the fuselage!
❑
Fit the wing panel back into place and realign it. Remove any excess epoxy using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol,
and hold the wing panel and fiberglass wing joiner plate firmly in place until the epoxy sets up.
❑
Repeat the previous procedures to install the second wing panel.

toward you. This is the
bottom
of the stabilizer panel.

Using a modeling knife and a ruler, cut out the inboard
end of the elevator, making sure to make the cut
parallel
to
the inside edge of the stabilizer.
