Section 4:

Bolting the Wing to the Fuselage

Items Needed
Parts Needed
Fuselage
Wing
Leading edge wing dowels
Note: Your Hangar 9™ Ultra Stick™ 60 comes from the
factory with two predrilled holes in the leading edge of the
wing for the alignment dowels, and two predrilled holes
for the wing hold down bolts. The Ultra Stick 60 comes
with the wing bolt T-nuts preinstalled in the fuselage.
Step 1. Locate the predrilled leading edge dowel holes located
on both sides of the center joint of the wing.
Step 2. Locate and trial fit the leading edge wing dowels into
the holes in the leading edge. There should be approximately
1/2 of dowel protruding from the leading edge of the wing, (trim
the dowels as necessary). Mark each dowel where it exits the
leading edge of wing.

Step 3. Remove the wing dowels and mix about 1/2 ounce of
6-minute epoxy. Use a generous amount of epoxy in the leading
edge holes and on the portion of the dowels that will be inserted
into the wing. Insert dowels into the wing and wipe off any
excess epoxy. Set wing aside and allow epoxy to cure.
Step 4. After the epoxy has cured for the leading edge align-
ment dowels, trial fit the wing to the fuselage by inserting the
dowels into the former in front of the wing saddle of the fuse-
lage. If the wing dowel fit is too tight, carefully enlarge the holes
in the former just enough to get the wing dowels inserted.
