Elevator Pushrod Installation - Hangar 9 PT-19 CL Assembly Manual

Step 6
Carefully use a hobby knife to remove the covering 1/16-inch
(1.5mm) from inside the lines. Use light pressure with a new
#11 blade to avoid cutting into the underlying wood. You will
need to trim the covering from the top and bottom of the
wing at this time.
Note: Other options other than a hobby knife are to use
a hot knife (with a new blade) or a soldering iron for
cutting the covering. These will melt the covering and
lower the chances of cutting into the wood structure of
the wing.
Hint: Use a paper towel and rubbing alcohol to remove
the lines drawn on the wing before gluing to the
fuselage.

Step 7
Slide the wing in the fuselage. Leave the wing slightly askew
so the exposed wood can be accessed.

Step 8
Mix 1/2 ounce (15ml) of 30-minute epoxy and apply it to
the exposed wood on the top and bottom of the wing. Slide
the wing into position and double-check the alignment as
described in Steps 2 and 4. Allow the epoxy to fully cure
before proceeding.
Note: If epoxy does not ooze from the joint between
the fuselage and wing, you have not used enough
epoxy. Go back and apply more epoxy as the wing must
be glued securely to the fuselage.
Hint: Use a paper towel and rubbing alcohol to remove
any excess epoxy before continuing.
