STEP 19
Insert the brace half-way into one wing panel using the
centre-line as a guide. Wipe off any excess epoxy.
STEP 20
Protect the covering with masking tape, then spread
sufficient slow setting epoxy over the opposite panel
joiner slot, wing joiner and root rib. Bring the two panels
together ensuring the epoxy fills the join. Wipe off any
excess that squeezes out of the joint, then use tape to
hold the panels together as the adhesive cures.
STEP 21
Locate the pre-drilled wing mounting bolt holes in the wing.
Use a sharp knife to remove the covering from the holes as
shown.
STEP 22
Temporarily bolt the wing to the fuselage using the two
nylon retaining bolts. Holding the underwing fairing in place -
ensuring it is centred front and back, left and right - mark its
position with a felt pen. Do not press too hard on the fairing
otherwise it may distort and spread wider than the fuselage.
STEP 23
Remove the fairing and carefully trim inside the lines you just
marked using a sharp knife. VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure
that you do not cut into the wood otherwise the strength of
the wing will be severely weakened. Remove the wing bolts.
