Please dry fit wing joiner into left and right wing to make sure they fit with the
proper dihedral angle, mark the wing joiner if necessary. Apply epoxy glue to
both sides of all surfaces in contact. Use a stick to apply the glue to inner side

The ideal C.G. position is 100mm(3.9in)behind
the leading edge measured at where the wing
meets the fuselage. In order to obtain the C.G.
specified, add weight to the fuselage or move
the battery position. Check the C.G. before
flying.
