.Step 9
Without.using.any.glue,.test.the.fit.of.the.wing.panels.and.
wing.joiner..The.panels.must.fit.together.without.any.gaps,.
top.or.bottom..If.any.gaps.do.exist,.use.a.sanding.bar.to.
lightly.sand.the.root.ribs.of.both.panels.until.the.panels.fit.
together.perfectly.
Note:.Read.through.the.remaining.steps.
of.this.section.before.mixing.any.epoxy.
Hint:.It.is.extremely.important.to.use.
plenty.of.epoxy.when.joining.the.wing.
panels..It.will.also.be.helpful.to.use.
wax.paper.under.the.wing.joint.to.avoid.
gluing.the.wing.to.your.work.surface.
