In this photo, we've assembled the 3 main wing panels and glued all the carbon spars into
their respective slots. At top right is the horizontal stab. The tail booms are shown alongside
the leading edge of the wing. If using epoxy, scuff the carbon with some fine sand paper before
gluing it in.
After the glue is fully cured, we have found that putting a strip of Scotch Transparent tape on
each side of the carbon pieces really helps stabilize the joint.
You may now cut the control surfaces free and bevel & hinge them using your preferred
method. We use simple tape hinges as shown above. The red lines indicate Scotch
Transparent tape or Blenderm tape. It's important that the foam be very clean prior to
applying the tape. A tack rag or a piece of tape put down and then peeled off works well to
clean the foam of dust.
We recommend CA hinges or small nylon hinges for the rudder.
