5. With the inner left wing section flat on your workbench
and the center joint on the wax paper, raise the right wing tip
9-1/2" [241 mm] to properly set the dihedral. Block the raised
right wing at the desired height and make a mental note of the
position needed for it to maintain that dihedral.
❏
6. Remove the joiner from the wings. Cover the joiner, left
and right wing root ribs and pockets in the wing panels with
a moderate, but not excessive amount of 30-minute epoxy.
Join the wing halves together making sure the wing joiner is
centered. Ensure that the left wing remains flat and that the
right wing tip is 9-1/2" [241 mm] from your workbench and
can remain that way undisturbed until the epoxy has
hardened. Remove any excess epoxy with a paper towel
and denatured alcohol, being careful not to disturb the joint.
Hint: Use masking tape to hold the wing together while the
epoxy hardens.
❏
7. Glue the plywood TE support centered on the TE of
the wing with CA.
❏
8. Glue the carbon fiber wing dowels into the fuse with
a small amount of thin CA. Be sure the length of the carbon
on each side is equal.
