Wing Hardware: Gather the following painted cast metal parts for the wings: Four (4) Sets of Forward
Spar Cable Anchor Points (upper and lower); four (4) Sets of Rear Spar Cable Anchor Points
(upper and lower); two (2) Rear Spar Eye Bolts; two (2) 0-80 Washers; two (2) 0-80 Nuts; six
Compression Struts; twelve (12) Compression Strut Bolt Sets; two (2) Aluminum Step Plates
(Photo etched); ten (10) Turnbuckles (holes drilled 1/32").
Place the Left and Right Wings on their building patterns. Locate and glue the three (3) Compression
Struts in place and shims may be needed to compensate for the Strut fit due to variations in building. If
shims are needed, add them at the Rear Spar end of the Strut. Once all the Compression Struts are
in place glue the Nut Sets on the other side of the spars as seen in the picture on the next page.
Using the building board as reference, glue in place the Cable Anchor Points by adding the lower part
first and then the upper noting the orientation towards the Fuselage as seen on the Assembled Views
and Details Plan Sheet. Then drill 1/32" holes in the locations for the Eye Bolts on the Rear Spar.
Insert the Eye Bolts into the holes with the eye facing forward then add 0-80 Washers first then 0-80
Nuts onto the Eyebolt Shafts and glue in place.
Once all the Cable Anchor Points glue has set then drill the holes in them to make sure they are clean
to receive the Cable Lines both top and bottom.
