WING ASSEMBLY

Rudder Assembly

❏ ❏
1. Locate the servo cut out on the bottom of each wing
and cut the covering 1/8" [3mm] inside the edges of the
opening in the bottom of the right wing panel for the aileron
servo. Use your Top Flite MonoKote
the covering to the sides of the opening.
Note: You'll notice a piece of string that passes through the
ribs at the location of the aileron servo well. Don't remove
the string because you will use it to pull your aileron servo
cord through the wing later. Tape the string in place as shown.
❏ ❏
2. Locate the hole and cut the covering on the top of
the right wing panel for the string to exit. Remove the tape
from the wing root, and route it through the opening. Tape
the string to the top of the wing.
❏ ❏
3. Test fit the wing halves with the wing joiner. The
tapered edge of the joiner faces the leading edge of the
wing. If necessary, sand any high spots on the root end of
the wing panels so there is no gap when you join them.

4. Tape a piece of wax paper or Great Planes Plan
Protector over your work surface. Thoroughly coat the
™
joiner pockets and the mating ends of both wing halves with
30-minute epoxy. Set the wing halves aside and proceed
quickly. Coat all surfaces of one half of the wing joiner with
30-minute epoxy and place it in one of the wing halves. Coat
the other half of the joiner with 30-minute epoxy and join the
other wing. Use a piece of balsa or cardboard to wipe away
excess epoxy. Use masking tape to tape the wing tightly
together. Use a paper towel dampened with alcohol to wipe
away any more epoxy that oozes out of the wing, then set
the wing aside. Do not disturb the wing until the epoxy has
fully cured.

5. Locate the two 5/16" x 3-3/8" [8mm x 86mm]
hardwood wing dowels. Slightly bevel the ends of the
dowels. Test fit the dowels into the wing, making sure they
lock into the holes inside the wing. If necessary, drill the
holes in the wing using a 5/16" [8mm] drill bit. Use 30-minute
epoxy to glue the dowels into the wing, allowing them to
protrude 1-1/8" [28mm].
