Remove the belly pan and the servo hatch cover from
the bottom of the fuselage and set them aside.
With the fuselage upside down, place the wing into the
wing saddle and push the trailing edge down firmly into place.
Carefully align the centerline of the wing (the center joint)
with the centerline of the fuselage, at the back of the wing saddle.
Use a couple of pieces of masking tape to temporarily
hold the wing aligned.
With the wing held in place and aligned, use a ruler to
measure from each wing tip to the back edge of each side of
the fuselage. Move the trailing edge of the wing in the wing
saddle until both measurements are equal.
When satisfied with the alignment, hold the wing firmly in
place and aligned using pieces of masking tape.
Using an 11/64" diameter drill bit, drill two holes into the
wing and through the plywood wing hold-down block inside
the fuselage. Locate one hole in each wing panel, 7/8" out
from the centerline and 1/2" in front of the trailing edge.
IMPORTANT
Drill the two holes parallel to the bottom
surface of the wing.
