Joining The Wing Halves; Installing The Landing Gear - Phoenix Model AT6-TEXAN Instruction Manual

9. Repeat step #1 - #8 to install the second aileron
linkage. After both linkages are completed,
connect both of the aileron servo leads using a
Y-harness you have purchased separately.

JOINING THE WING HALVES

1. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy.
Working with only one wing half for now, apply
a thin layer of epoxy inside the plywood
dihedral brace box and to only half of the
dihedral brace. Make sure to cover the dihedral
brace top and bottom as well as the sides, and
use enough epoxy to fill any gaps.
2. Slide the dihedral brace into the plywood box
up to the center line. Remove any excess
epoxy before it dries using a paper towel and
rubbing alcohol. Allow the epoxy to cure before
proceeding.
3. Once the epoxy has cured, trial fit both wing
halves together to double check that the wing
halves still fit correctly.
4. Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy.
Apply a thin layer of epoxy to the exposed half
of the dihedral brace, the inside of the plywood
dihedral brace box and the entire surface of
both root ribs. Make sure to use enough epoxy
to fill any gaps.
5. Slide the two wing halves together and carefully
align them at the leading and trailing edges.
Wipe away any excess epoxy using a paper
towel and rubbing alcohol. Use masking tape to
hold the two wing halves in place until the
epoxy cures.
6. When the epoxy has fully cured, double check
the center section joint. If any gaps are present,
mix a small amount of 30 minute epoxy and
carefully fill any remaining gaps. Remove the
excess epoxy using a paper towel and rubbing
alcohol. Allow the epoxy to fully cure before
proceeding.
7. Apply the trim tape to the center section of the
wings where they join.

INSTALLING THE LANDING GEAR
