Building Instructions; Join The Wing Halves; Join The Wing To The Fuselage - GREAT PLANES FW-190 Focke Wulf Instruction Manual

BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS

Note: This model is covered with a very thin layer of film
which is then painted with a special lightweight paint to
conserve weight. Avoid the use of tape to help position the
fuselage components during assembly. Also, Do Not
attempt to remove any of the trim markings as this will
damage the painted surface beneath.
Also, for simplicity, all of the carbon rods in this ARF are of
the same diameter. When identifying the rods for the
corresponding step, only the lengths are mentioned.

Join the Wing Halves

❏
1. Using epoxy, join the two wing halves together,
making sure to align the root sections.
❏
2. Epoxy the 17-3/4" [451 mm] carbon wing joiner tube
into the slot on the bottom of the wing. Make sure it is fully
seated in the slot.
❏
3. Use epoxy to glue the foam inserts into the wing slot
over the carbon joiner. Make sure they are fully seated
against the joiner. The foam inserts may not be completely
flush with the bottom of the wing.

Join the Wing to the Fuselage

❏
1. Insert the wing into the fuselage. Be sure that the wing
is centered and square by making sure all measurements
are equal as shown in the sketch.
❏
2. Trace along the fuselage sides on the top and bottom
of the wing with a felt-tip pen or a pencil.
❏
3. Slide the wing out just enough to see the entire area
covered by the fuselage. Remove the covering from the wing
using a hobby knife 3/32" [2 mm] inside the marks you made.
Apply a thin layer of epoxy and slide the wing into place. Use
the marks from the previous step to align the wing. Clean up
any excess glue with a paper towel. DO NOT use alcohol or
any other solvent for cleanup as the paint finish will be affected.
