Wings; Wing Mounting - BVM Bandit arf Assembly And Operation Instructions Manual

WINGS

Helpful Hint: Before working on the painted
composite parts, obtain a roll off bedding (Egg
Crate) foam. Cut the foam to cover the work
area; even allow it to roll over the edges of the
table. BVM uses the type with many raised and
lowered points; these points help to protect the
model from wayward nuts and bolts. This
simple precautionary step will minimize hangar
rash.

WING MOUNTING

Set wings onto the fuselage and insert the (6) 10-32 x 5/8" SHCS though the forward CF spars and
thread them into the aluminum inserts in the forward bulkhead.
NOTE: It may be necessary to loosen the 4-40 x ¾" SHCS in the "C" channels mounted to the AFT
bulkhead.
Center the wing (top to bottom) at the flap LE relative to the wing fillets on the fuselage. Then tighten
the 4-40 SHCS.
Once satisfied with the fit of the wings, apply AeroPoxy or V-Poxy to the molded "c" channels to lock
them to the AFT CF former.
To make the project move along very efficiently we choose to work on the left and right wings
simultaneously. This means, complete 2 or 3 steps on the left wing, then do the same to the right wing.
This method helps keep the mind fresh on the procedures and techniques learned the first time, plus the
appropriate tools will already be selected and ready to use.
Use a 4-40 tap to prepare the (4) flex plate mounting holes. Apply a drop of Thin ZAP to each
tapped hole, then tap again.
