WING ASSEMBLY
Using 5 minute epoxy, attach the front belly plate and wing
alignment dowels and let sit for 30 minutes.
Measure the top and bottom to find center of the wing hold-down
plate and draw a straight line between the two marks. This line will be
used to center the plate on the trailing edge of the wing panel.
Place the plate on the wing panel and mark around the three sides
with a pen or marker. Remove the plate and then remove the
covering material inside the lines. Be careful not to push through the
balsa; remove only the covering.
Apply a liberal amount of medium CA to the exposed wing panel
and place the holddown plate on it, holding it until the CA sets.
Turn the fuselage upside down and trial fit the wing assembly into
place to insure good fit.
Remove the wing and with a 1/4" drill bit drill through the existing
holes in the wing hold down plate and through the trailing edge of the
wing.
Epoxy the wing joint with fiber cloth both on top and bottom.
