7. Locate the wing bolt plate. Remove the covering from
the holes in the plate using a sharp hobby knife.
❏
8. Align the holes in the wing bolt plate with the holes in
the wing. Trace an outline around the wing bolt plate. Trim
away the covering approximately 3/32" [2 mm] inside the
outline. Be careful not to cut into the balsa structure as this
could weaken the wing.
HOW TO CUT COVERING FROM BALSA
Use a soldering iron to cut the covering from the stab. The
tip of the soldering iron doesn’t have to be sharp, but a fine
tip does work best. Allow the iron to heat fully. Use a
straightedge to guide the soldering iron at a rate that will just
melt the covering and not burn into the wood. The hotter the
soldering iron, the faster it must travel to melt a fine cut.
❏
9. Glue the wing bolt in place using medium CA. After the
plate is installed, run a bead of medium CA around the edges
of the plate to prevent fuel from soaking into the balsa.

1. Locate the stab mounting slots near the rear of the
fuse and remove the covering using a sharp hobby knife.
❏
2. Attach the wing to the fuselage using the two 1/4-20
nylon bolts.
❏
3. Test fit the stab into the opening in the back of the
fuselage. Stand back and look at the stab in relation to the
wing. The stab should be parallel with the wing. If not, sand
the stab saddle until the stab and wing are aligned.
