[230mm] from the wing tips. Cut the covering away from
these holes.

13. Mount the bottom wing to the fuselage with two
1/4-20 x 2" [51mm] wing bolts.

Assemble the Top Wing

❏
1. Glue the two 3/8" x 1" [9.5 x 25mm] wood dowels into
the holes located in the root rib of the right wing panel of the
top wing.
❏
2. Locate the aluminum wing rib. Test fit the components
of the top wing by sliding the aluminum rib onto the dowels
in the right wing panel. (Be sure that the tongue from the
aluminum rib is toward the bottom of the wing). Insert the
balsa and plywood wing joiner into the joiner pocket and
then slide the left wing panel onto the right wing panel.
Check to be sure that the root rib of the wings makes solid
contact with the aluminum rib. If they do not make good
contact with each other, sand a small amount off of the wing
dowels. This will allow the wings to slide together completely.
When you are satisfied with the fit, disassemble the wing.
Glue the top wing together with 30-minute epoxy using the
same method used for the bottom wing. Move quickly to
the next step before the epoxy hardens.
❏
3. Mount the top wing to the "I" struts using the thumb
screws. When placing the wing, be sure the small dowels
align with the hole in the wing and the aluminum joiner drops
between the cabane struts. Tighten the wing to the "I" struts.
