Mix a generous amount of 5 minute epoxy and apply a thin layer to the exposed half of the wing joiner, the inside of the wing
joiner box in the second wing panel, and the entire surface of BOTH root ribs. Make sure to use enough epoxy to fill any gaps.
IMPORTANT
It is of the utmost importance to the integrity of the wing center-section joint that you apply a generous amount
of epoxy to both root ribs and the wing joiner. Not using enough epoxy can result in wing failure during flight.
STEP 3: CHECKING THE WING CENTER-SECTION JOINT
Once the epoxy has fully cured, remove the masking tape and double-check the center-section joint. If any gaps are present,
carefully fill them using 5 minute epoxy.

STEP 1: MOUNTING THE WING
Slide the two wing panels together and realign them. Quickly wipe
away any excess epoxy, using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol, and
use pieces of masking tape to hold the two wing panels aligned until the
epoxy fully cures.
YOU'LL NEED THE FOLLOWING PARTS FROM THE KIT:
YOU'LL NEED THE FOLLOWING TOOLS AND SUPPLIES:
Apply a couple of drops of thin C/A into the threaded wing hold-down
hole in the fuselage.
The C/A will harden the threads in the plywood, preventing them
from stripping out over time.
After the C/A has fully cured, set the wing into the wing saddle and
secure it into place, using one M3 x 20mm self-tapping screw.
Don't overtighten the screw or you'll crush the wing. It only needs
to be tightened snugly.
