Great Planes Super Sportster 40 MkII Kit - GPMA0205 - Manual (Page 23)

From this point on, the model will need to be supported
upside-down. You could invest a few dollars in a Robart
Super Stand or cut an old styrofoam ice chest or
cardboard box to fit the fuse. Foam padding in the cradle
will prevent unnecessary hangar rash.
D 1. Use 30-minute epoxy to glue the 3/8" x 3/4" x 1-3/8"
hardwood wing bolt blocks into the notches at F-4. Add
fillets of epoxy all around these blocks, for a secure bond.
D 2. Clean out the wing dowel holes in F-2 with a 1/4" drill
bit. Test fit the wing and adjust the dowel holes if needed
with a round file.
D 4. Tape the wing in position so it can't move. Run a 1/4"
drill bit through the holes in the aft end of the wing to lightly
mark the wing bolt blocks. Do not drill a hole with the 1/4"
bit. Remove the wing and drill a 13/64" (or use a #10 drill
bit) through each of the wing mounting blocks. Angle the
holes as shown on the side view of the fuse plans. Cut
threads in each block with a 1/4"-20 tap. Put a couple of
drops of thin CA on the threads and, after it has fully cured,
run the tap back through the holes to clean up the threads.
Bolt the wing to the fuse with two nylon 1/4"-20 wing bolts
and leave it in place for the next few steps.
D 3. Seat the wing in the wing saddle and visually align it
with the fuse. Pin a string to the tail post, then extend it out
to a wing tip. Put a piece of tape on the string to mark the
intersection of the string and the wing tip. Swing the string
over to the other wing tip and see if the distances are the
same (see diagram). Make slight adjustments to the angle
of the wing until the distance from the tail to the tips
is equal.
D 1. Draw an accurate centerline on the top of the stab,
perpendicular to the TE of the stab. Draw two more lines
parallel to the centerline, 1/8" on each side.
D 2. Center the stab on the stab saddle and pin it in
position. Study the aft end of the structure from 6-10 feet
back. If the stab tips are not equidistant above the wing,
carefully sand the high side of the saddle until the stab
is aligned.
