Finish the Wing

GLIDER WING:
1. Keep a couple of paper towels handy for wiping glue
from your fi ngers and the wing—remember, canopy glue is
preferred because it will be easier to clean up. You'll also
need some masking tape for holding the halves together
until the glue dries. If using canopy glue, lightly wet the
paper towels with water or window cleaner to make it easier
to wipe up glue.
2. Test-fi t the wing halves using the dowel plate to help
assure alignment.
3. Get ready to glue the wings together. Apply glue to all
joining surfaces of both wing halves—you don't need much—
just a fi lm, but all surfaces that touch should have glue.
4. Mate the halves and install the dowel plate. Use strips
of masking tape on the top and bottom of the wing to pull
the halves together. Make certain the dowel plate remains
in position helping to keep the wings aligned. Also install
the wing bolt bushing to align the trailing edges. Use your
paper towels to wipe excess glue from the wing and from
your fi ngers as necessary. Do not disturb the wing until the
glue has set (overnight if using canopy glue).
5. After the glue from joining the wing halves has dried,
remove the masking tape and get ready to glue in the spar
and the spar covers. Test-fi t, but do not glue in the spar. Also
connect the Y-connector to the servos. Use a dab of glue to
hold the connectors in the channel so they won't move around
and interfere with the fi t of the spar covers. If the servo wires
are too long you can double them back into the servo cavity.
