WING ASSEMBLY
Remove the tape holding the servo wire pull string
from the center of the wing, work the string through
the holes in the upper wing surface and secure to
the top surface.
Trial fit the dihedral brace in its box in both wing
panels. The straight edge of the brace goes to the
top of the wing. The brace should have a snug fit,
sand lightly if necessary.
The following steps must be done quickly before the
epoxy has time to set up. Read the procedure and
gather the materials before starting.
Mix a small amount of 30-minute epoxy. Spread the
epoxy in the dihedral box top, bottom, and sides
about 1 inch in. The snug fit of the brace will push
it down the box.
Spread epoxy on both sides of one half of the
dihedral brace and slide it into the box. Spread the
epoxy that oozes out over the entire surface of the
wing rib mating surface and on the other half of the
dihedral brace, As well as the other wing box
adding more as necessary. Slide the two wing
halves together. Wipe off any excess epoxy with a
paper towel moistened with alcohol.
Stretch masking tape across the seam on both sides
of the wing so the tape applies pressure to the joint.
Stand the wing in a safe place and do not disturb till
the epoxy has fully cured. Mix a small amount of
epoxy and thin it 25% with alcohol, Paint the bare
wood with a thin coat to fuel proof and strengthen
the dowel pin area.
STABLIZER ASSEMBLY
Care must be taken during the installation of both
the stabilizer and the fin. Misalignment of the tail
components will make the aircraft difficult to trim
in flight.
Begin by locating the center of the stabilizer.
Measure its width at the leading and trailing edge of
the tips, make two marks in the center and using a
straight edge draw a line across the top.
