Section 7
Mounting the Wing to the Fuselage
Step 4. Mix 1/2 ounce of 6-minute epoxy and coat both the
wing and plywood plate. The groove cut into the plywood plate
should be facing up to allow the plate to conform to the dihedral
of the wing. Align the plate and clamp in place. Wipe away any
excess epoxy with rubbing alcohol and paper towels. Allow the
epoxy to fully cure.
Caution: Use scrap plywood under the clamps to
prevent damage to the balsa wing structure.
Step 5. Once the epoxy has fully cured, use a drill and
5/32" drill bit to drill through the plywood plate. Use the
predrilled holes in the wing as a guide.
Step 6. Mount the wing to the fuselage using the two provided
mounting bolts and washers. Tighten the bolts finger tight and
align the wing to the fuselage by measuring from the wing tips
to the center rear of the fuselage as shown. The measurements
should be equal on both sides. It may be necessary to enlarge
the holes in the mounting plate to get the proper alignment.
Step 7. Once the wing is properly aligned, locate the radiator
scoop and use a sharp hobby knife to cut away the covering over
the two wing bolt access holes. Trial fit the scoop to the wing,
aligning it with the fuselage as shown.
