1. Use either epoxy or thick CA to glue one of the 1/16"

[1.5mm] aluminum joiners to the 1/8" [3mm] balsa joiner.

Apply as much pressure (clamps, clothes pins, weights,

etc.) as possible while the glue is curing and be sure to line

up the two pieces accurately. Glue the other 1/16" [1.5mm]

aluminum joiner to the other side of the 1/8" [3mm] balsa

joiner using the same procedure.

2. Check the fit of the wing joiner in the wing panels. Remove

any excess material from the joiner to allow the panels to fit

together. The joiner does not have to be glued into the wing.

This will allow the wing panels to be separated for easier

transportation.

3. Mark and remove a small area of the covering on both

wings for the 1/8" x 1" x 1-5/8" [3mm x 25mm x 41mm]

plywood trailing edge plates. Glue the plates onto the wing

with thick CA.

1. Find and open the holes in the stabilizer covering for

the attachment screws. Attach the stabilizer to the fuselage

using two 2mm x 15mm screws, two 2mm nuts and four

2mm washers. Use thread lock on the nuts to prevent

loosening.
