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.
