7. Locate the last two 90 degree brackets and two

#4 x 1/2" [12mm] screws. There are two 1/16" [1.6mm] holes
drilled out on top of the fuselage by the firewall. Harden the
holes with thin CA and install the two brackets as shown in
the image above.

8. The metal cabanes provided with the kit are slightly

different from those pictured on this step, however the
installation procedure is the same. Find the metal cabanes
and four 4-40 x 1/4" [6.3mm] SHCS. Install both metal
cabanes as shown above. The SHCS should go through the
metal cabane and thread into the metal brackets.

9. Install struts #2 and #3 as shown with two 4-40 x 3/8"

[6.3mm] SHCS and two #4 flat washers. Strut #2 should be
installed on the right side of the airplane and strut #3 on the
left side of the airplane.

10. Attach the top wing to the cabane using four

4-40 x 1/4" [6.3mm] SHCS as shown above. Attach the top
wing to the wood struts using two 4-40 x 3/8" [9.5mm] SHCS
and two #4 washers.

11. Align all wood struts as shown in the picture above

and tighten all the sheet metal screws holding the brackets
that go into the wing and fuselage, sixteen screws in all.
