PARTS REQUIRED
WING ASSEMBLY
INSTALLING THE DIHEDRAL BRACE
q1) Look at the surface of each root rib on both
wing halves. Notice how the excess covering mate-
rial overlaps onto them. Using a modeling knife,
carefully trim the covering from both of the root ribs,
leavingabout 1/16” of covering overlappingsoit does
not pull away. See photo # 1 below.

Photo # 1
Removing most of the covering from the two
root ribs will expose more of the wood. This
will result in a stronger joint when the wing halves
are glued together later.
q2) Using a ruler and a pen, locate and mark the
centerline of the plywood dihedral brace W-3. Draw
one vertical line, on each side, at this location. See
photo # 2 below.
Photo # 2
The dihedral brace is cut in the shape of a "V".
The "V" shape should face the top surface of
the wing when the brace is installed. The top surface
of the wing is the curved surface.
q4) Test fit both of the wing halves together with
the dihedral brace temporarily installed. Donotglue
thetwohalves together yet! Thewinghalves should
fit together tight with little or no gaps in the center
section joint. If the center section joint is not tight,
remove the wing halves and lightly sand the edges
and tips of the dihedral brace. Test fit the wing halves
together with the dihedral brace installed again. Re-
peat this step until you are satisfied with the fit of the
wing halves and the dihedral brace.
It is important that the wing halves fit together
properly. The better the fit, the stronger the cen-
ter section joint will be.
q5) Whensatisfied with the fit of thewinghalves,
remove the wing halves and the dihedral brace.
q6) Mix a generous amount of Kwik Bond 30
Minute Epoxy. Working with only one wing half for
now, apply a thin layer of epoxy inside the plywood
dihedralbraceboxandto onlyhalfof thedihedralbrace.
Make sure to cover the top and bottom, as well as the
sides, and use enough epoxy to fill any gaps.
Mixequal amounts of epoxyfor about 1 minute.
This will ensure both parts are thoroughly in-
corporated together.
q7) Slide the dihedral brace into the plywood box
up to the centerline. Remove any excess epoxy be-
fore it dries using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.
Allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding.
Photo # 3
JOINING THE WING HALVES
q8) Once the epoxy has cured, trial fit both wing
halves together to double check that the wing halves
still fit correctly.
q3) Test fit the plywood dihedral brace into the
plywood dihedral brace box in each wing half. The
brace should slide into each wing half up to the cen-
terline. If it does not, remove the brace and lightly
sand the edges and tips until the proper fit is obtained.
See photo # 3 at top right.

Photo # 4
q11) Once the epoxy has fully cured, double
check the center section joint. If any gaps are present,
mix a small amount of Kwik Bond 30 Minute Epoxy
and carefully fill any remaining gaps. Remove any
excess epoxy and allow it to cure thoroughly before
proceeding.
INSTALLING THE WING DOUBLER
q12) Set the plywood wing doubler in place on
top of the wing. The back edge of the doubler should
be even with the trailing edge of the wing and the
sides of the doubler should overlap the centerline of
the wing equal amounts. See photo # 5 below.
Photo # 5
q13) While holding the doubler in place, use a
pen and draw around the doubler to outline it onto
the top of the wing.
PARTS REQUIRED
WING MOUNTING
INSTALLING THE HOLD DOWN DOWELS
q{1} Fuselage w/Pushrod Housings
q{2} Wing Hold Down Dowels W-8

q1) Using a modeling knife, remove the cover-
ing from over the two predrilled wing hold down
dowel holes in front of the wing saddle. One hole is
located on each side of the fuselage 9” behind the
front of the fuselage and 1/2” down from the top of
the fuselage.
q2) Remove the covering from over the two pre-
drilled wing hold down dowel holes in back of the
wing saddle. One hole is located on each side of the
fuselage 20-3/8” behind the front of the fuselage and
1/2” down from the top of the fuselage.
q3) Slide one wing hold down dowel through the
two front holes and one through the two back holes.
Center the two dowels in the fuselage. Both ends of
each dowel should protrude from the fuselage sides
equal amounts. See photo # 6 below.
q9) Mix a generous amount of Kwik Bond 30
Minute Epoxy. Apply a thin layer of epoxy to the
exposed half of the dihedral brace, the inside of the
plywood box in the second wing half, and the entire
surface of both root ribs. Make sure to use enough
epoxy to fill any gaps.
q10) Slide the two wing halves together and care-
fully align them at the leading and trailing edges.
Wipe away any excess epoxy using a paper towel and
rubbing alcohol. Use masking tape to hold the two
wing halves in place until the epoxy fully cures. See
photo # 4 below.
q14) Remove the doubler. Using a modeling
knife, carefully remove the covering from just inside
the outline.
When cutting through the covering, cut with
enough pressure to only cut through the cover-
ing itself. Try not to cut down into the wood.
Removing the covering will allow a better bond be-
tween the two parts. Glue does not stick well to the
covering material used on R/C models, so always re-
member to remove the covering from any surface to
be glued.
q15) Glue the doubler to the wing using Kwik
Bond Thick C/A. Hold the doubler firmly in place
until the glue fully cures.
Photo # 6

q4) When satisfied with their fit, use a pencil and
place a mark on each dowel were they exit the fuse-
lage sides. Remove the two dowels.
q5) Mixa small amount of KwikBond30 Minute
Epoxy. Using a mixing stick, apply a thin layer of
epoxy to the inside edges of each of the four holes in
the fuselage sides.
q6) Slide the dowels back into place, aligning the
marks on the dowels with the fuselage sides. Use a
paper towel and rubbing alcohol remove any excess
epoxy. Allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding.
ALIGNING THE WING
q7) Using a ruler and a pen, locate the centerline
of the fuselage at both the front and the rear of the
wing saddle. Place one mark on top of the fuselage at
the back edge of the wing saddle and one mark at the
front of the wing saddle. See photo # 7 below.
Photo # 7
These two marks will help you align the wing
when you install it onto the fuselage. You may
wish to make these marks in permanent ink so you
can align the wing correctly each time you install the
wing. This will ensure the wing is aligned properly
every time you fly the airplane.
q8) Place the wing onto the wing saddle. The
joint where the two wing halves were glued together
is considered the centerline of the wing. Align the
centerline of the wing at both the front and the rear of
the wing saddle with the two centerline marks you
made on the fuselage.
q9) Using a couple of # 64 rubber bands, tempo-
rarily install the wing. To properly install the rubber
bands, hook one over one of the front wing hold down
dowels, carefully pull it back over the wing and hook
it over the rear hold down dowel on the same side.
Install two rubber bands on each side for now.

Photo # 8
q1) Remove the elevator from the horizontal sta-
bilizer. Using a ruler and a pen, locate the centerline
of the horizontal stabilizer, at the trailing edge, and
place a mark. Use a triangle and extend this mark,
from back to front, across the top of the stabilizer.
Also extend this mark down the back of the trailing
edge. See photo # 8 below.
q2) Using a modeling knife, remove the cover-
ing from over the top of the precut hole in the center
of the stabilizer. The hole is located 2” behind the
leading edge and is 1” long and 3/16” wide.
q3) Using a ruler and a pen, locate and mark the
centerline of the fuselage at both the front and the
rear of the stabilizer mounting platform. When you
place the mark at the rear of the platform, extend the
mark down the back edge of the fuselage. This will
make it easier to line up the horizontal stabilizer. See
photo # 9 below.
Photo # 9
q4) Set the stabilizer onto the stabilizer mount-
ing platform and push it as far forward as possible.
q5) Carefully remove bothaileronsfromthewing.
Align the centerline drawn on the top and the rear of
