Section 4: Bolt Wing To Fuselage; Section 5: Installing Horizontal Stabilizer - Hangar 9 Super Stick Instruction Manual

4
BOLT WING TO FUSELAGE
Parts Needed
Fuselage
4 wing bolts & washers
Note: Your Hangar 9 Super Stick comes from the
factory with pre-installed blind nuts in the fuselage
and pre-drilled holes in the wing for bolting the wing
to the fuselage.
1. Place the wing onto the wing saddle of the fuselage,
approximately aligning the wing center with the
center line of fuselage.
5
INSTALLING HORIZONTAL STABILIZER
Parts Needed
Horizontal Stabilizer
Fuselage
Assembled wing
Note: Before assembling the tail, remove the elevator
and the hinges from the horizontal stabilizer. The
hinges and elevator will be installed later.
1. Measure and mark the center of the horizontal
stabilizer on its leading edge.
2. If you removed it from the previous section of this
manual, install the wing onto the fuselage.
Tools & Adhesives Needed
Hobby knife or round file
Phillips screwdriver
2. Insert each of the wing bolts into the wing.
3. Carefully thread each bolt just a few turns into the
installed blind nuts of the fuselage.
Note: If the wing bolts are not perfectly aligned and
you can't get bolts to thread into the blind nuts,
carefully use a round file and enlarge the pre-drilled
hole in the wing on the bolt hole that is not exactly
aligned. If you have to do this, it only requires that a
slight amount of material be removed. The wing bolts
may be hard to turn when you first install them, but it
will get easier in time. Be careful not to cross-thread
the bolts into the blind nuts.
4. After each wing bolt is started, tighten each bolt a
little at a time. Continue with each bolt until the wing
is securely tightened to the fuselage. Be careful not to
over-tighten.
Note: Leave the wing on the fuselage for installing
the horizontal stabilizer.
