3. Find four 1/4" x 1-9/16" [6mm x 40mm] wood dowels.

Make a mark on the dowels 1/4" [6.3mm] from the end of
each as shown above.

4. Mix a small amount of epoxy and drop it into the

bottom wing's dowel holes. Also apply some epoxy on two of
the dowels. Insert the dowels up to the mark you just made,
so that just 1/4" [6.3mm] of each dowel protrudes. Clean up
any excess epoxy.

5. Feel through the MonoKote on the rear center section

of the wing for the wing bolt holes. Remember that there are
two of them. Remove the MonoKote both at the bottom and
top surfaces of the wing.

1. Find the mid wing, the only wing that does not have any

markings, four 90° brackets and four #4 x 3/8" [9.5mm] screws.

2. There are two 1/16" holes drilled out on the top and

bottom surfaces of the mid wing between the second rib and
the third rib in from the tip. This is where the 90 degree
brackets are installed. Harden the holes with thin CA. Check
the images shown above for the bracket's orientation. Leave
the brackets slightly loose, as they may need to be adjusted
when the wing struts are installed. You should install a total
of four 90 degree brackets, one on the top and one on the
bottom of the wing ends.

3. Find two 60 degree brackets and two #4 x 1/2" [12mm]

screws. There are two 1/16" [1.6mm] holes drilled out on the
top sheeting of the center section. That is where the 60
degree brackets are to be installed. Harden the holes with
thin CA. Check the image shown for the bracket's
orientation. Leave the brackets slightly loose as they may
need some minor adjustments when the wing struts are
installed. Two 60 degree brackets should be installed on the
top center section of the mid wing.
