5. Fit the wing back onto the fuse, drill the second dowel
hole, remove the wing and epoxy the second dowel in
place. Allow ample time for the epoxy to cure.
❏
6. Stick a T-pin through the center of the aft end of the
fuselage bottom. Tie a piece of monofilament line to the
T-pin. Pull the string to the TE of the wing tip and put a
piece of masking tape on the string at the wing tip. Mark an
arrow on the tape, then slide the tape on the string so the
arrow aligns with the wing tip. Swing the string over to the
other tip and see if it aligns with the same point. If
necessary, shift the wing and mark the location of the tip by
adjusting the position of the tape on the string. Do this until
the arrow on the string aligns with both tips.
❏
7. Now that the wing is accurately positioned, align the
belly pan with the fuselage, tight against the wing. When it
is positioned properly, use a few drops of thin CA to tack
glue the belly pan sides to the wing. Be careful to neither
move the wing nor glue the wing or belly pan to the
fuselage.
❏
8. Remove the wing from the fuselage. Use thin CA to
glue the rest of the belly pan to the wing at all contact
points. Hint: Applying the thin CA from the inside of the
belly pan as shown in the photo helps minimize excess CA
outside of the belly pan which would have to be sanded.
❏
9. Holding the wing firmly in place on the fuse, and using
the holes in the wing bolt plates as a guide, drill one 13/64"
hole through each wing filler block (inside the wing) and the
wing bolt block (inside the fuse), keeping the drill perpendicular
to the wing bolt plates and centered in the holes.
❏
10. Remove the wing from the fuselage and re-drill both
holes in the wing only to 17/64".
❏
11. Use a 1/4-20 tap to cut threads in the bolt block in
the fuselage. Hint: A cordless drill triggered at a slow
speed makes a great tap driver.
❏
12. Harden the threads in the bolt block with thin CA,
then re-tap the threads after the glue is completely dry.
❏ ❏
13. Mount the wing to the fuse with both wing bolts.
Fit the paper tube through the belly pan bottom and
around the head of the left wing bolt, flush against the wing
bolt plates. Glue the paper tube to the belly pan bottom and
wing bolt plate with medium CA. Note: Be careful not to
glue the wing bolts to the wing.
❏ ❏
14. Using a razor saw, cut off the paper tube flush
with the belly pan bottom.
