Join the Wing Halves
❏
1. Test fit the wing halves together with the carbon wing
joiner rods, with the long rod (500 mm [19-5/8"]) in the rear
and the short rod (225 mm [8-7/8"]) in the front. If the rods
prevent the wing halves from mating together, cut or sand
the rods as necessary until a good fit is achieved. When
satisfied, lightly coat one half of each rod with epoxy and
insert them into a wing half. With rubbing alcohol, wipe away
any excess epoxy that collects on the root of the wing half.
❏
2. When the epoxy has cured, mix another batch and
coat the other ends of the carbon tubes and the roots of the
wing panels. Slide the panels together making sure the
servo leads exit on top of the wing and use tape to hold them
tight while the epoxy cures. Wipe away any excess epoxy
that squeezes out.
Connect the Control Linkages
❏
1. Measure 16 mm [5/8"] from the inside edge of each
elevon and make a mark as shown in the picture.
❏
2. Cut a 6 mm [1/4"] slot 8 mm [5/16"] aft of the hinge line
for the control horns. Make the cuts so that the control
horns will be parallel with the servo arms.
❏
3. Push the control horns through the cuts you made in
the elevons. Press a control horn backing plate onto the
underside of each control horn. Secure the backing plates
and control horns to the elevons with foam safe CA glue.
