Section 5: Mounting The Wing

Parts Needed
Completed wing assembly
Wing dowel rods (2)
Fuselage
1. Trial fit the wing onto the fuselage. Be sure the wing
properly rests on the wing seat. Place a narrow strip of
masking tape at exactly the center of the top of the
fuselage just ahead of where the vertical fin will be
installed later. This tape will be used as a reference line in
aligning the wing.

Wing hold down plate
Wing hold down screws
Blind nuts (2)
13. It is a good idea to place a piece of fuel tubing over the
clevis (as shown below) as extra insurance to prevent the
clevis from accidentally coming open.
14. Repeat this procedure for the remaining aileron linkage.
Tools And Adhesives Needed
Drill
1/4" drill bit
Medium Phillips screwdriver
Small round file
12 minute epoxy
2. With the wing trial fitted in place, measure the distance
from the back of the wing tip where it meets the aileron to
the tape mark. Compare the right and left distances and
adjust the wing until both are the same.
