    Wing Assembly Trim away the covering from the 2 servo mounting holes on the lower wing and then slide the lower wing into the fuselage cutout and get it centered by using a piece of string. Tape the string to the tail of the aircraft and mark the distance from one wingtip and use that mark to line up the other wingtip.
  • Page 6 Before mounting the lower wing use a pencil and lightly draw a line through the lower wing mount that exactly cuts the cutout in half. This is the incidence of the lower wing. Make sure the pencil mark is visible on the fuselage because we will need it to set the incidence of the upper wing.
