Join The Wing - GREAT PLANES Electro Streak Instruction Manual

6. Apply six drops of thin CA to the top and bottom of
each hinge. Do not use CA accelerator. After the CA and
epoxy have fully hardened, test the hinges by pulling on the
aileron.
7. Go back to step 1 and repeat the hinge installation for
the other aileron.

Join the Wing

1. The wing joiner has a top and a bottom. To determine
which is the top, place the wing joiner on a flat surface and
note the gap between the joiner and the flat surface. The side
with the smallest gap is the top. Mark top on the wing joiner.
2. Test fit the wing halves together with the wing joiner.
Make sure the wing joiner is installed correctly. If it is not, the
root of the wings will not fit together correctly. If the wing
joiner needs to be sanded so that it will fit in the wing, sand
the bottom of the joiner. The top of the wing should be flat
when both wing halves are joined.
3. Prepare 1/2 oz. of 30-minute epoxy. Working quickly,
thoroughly coat the inside of both wing halves where the
joiner fits and one half of the joiner with epoxy. Making
certain the joiner is upright, insert the coated end into one
of the wing halves. Coat the other end of the joiner and the
root ribs with the remainder of the epoxy. Join the wing
halves tightly, holding them together. Use a paper towel
dampened with denatured alcohol to wipe away the excess
epoxy that comes out of the wing. Tightly hold the wing
together with masking tape, making certain both halves are
in full contact and the leading and trailing edges are aligned.
Let the wing set until the epoxy has cured.
