center it between ribs W2 as shown above. Once satisfied
with the fit, glue it in place with epoxy. The die letters on the
part should be right side up.
❏
6. Drill a 1/4" [6.4mm] hole through DP where the holes
on WDP are as shown above. Drill into the wing joiner 3/32"
[2.4mm]. To do so, apply some masking tape to the 1/4"
[6.4mm] drill bit 1-13/16" [46mm] away from the end and drill
until the tape reaches the wing dowel plate.

7. Locate the 1/4" x 5" [6.4mm x 127mm] wing dowel. Cut
it in two 2-1/4" [57mm] long dowels. Round the edges of
the dowels.
❏
8. Mix a small amount of epoxy and glue the dowels in
place as shown above. It is important that these dowels are
properly glued. Make sure that there is enough epoxy in all

side doublers (FSD). At the front of each FSD there is a
notch with two additional slits. On one FSD only, draw a line
from the end of each slit. Cut on the line using a hobby knife
and mark this FSD as “Right.” Mark the other FSD as “Left.”
Note: You will begin building the right side fuselage. Make
sure you do not build two right sides. The forward fuselage
side (FFS) with the deeper notch is the right side of the
fuselage. This is important. The deeper notch on the right
