8) Once the epoxy has cured, trial fit both
wing halves together to double check that the wing
halves still fit correctly.
o
9) Mix a generous amount of Kwik Bond 30
Minute Epoxy. Apply a thin layer of epoxy to the
exposed halves of both dihedral braces, the inside
of both dihedral brace boxes in the second wing
half and the entire surface of both root ribs. Make
sure to use enough epoxy to fill any gaps.
o
10) Slide the two wing halves together and
carefully align them at the leading and trailing edges.
Wipe away any excess epoxy using a paper towel
and rubbing alcohol. Use masking tape to hold the
wing halves in place until the epoxy cures. See
photo # 4 below.

6) Mix a generous amount of Kwik Bond
30 Minute Epoxy. Working with only one wing
half for now, apply a thin layer of epoxy inside
both dihedral brace boxes and on only half of
each dihedral brace. Make sure to cover the top
and bottom as well as the sides and use enough
epoxy to fill any gaps.
o
7) Slide the dihedral braces into the boxes
up to the centerlines. Remove any excess epoxy
before it dries using a paper towel and rubbing
alcohol. Allow the epoxy to cure before pro-
ceeding. See photo # 3 below.

2) Slide one wing hold down dowel through
the two forward holes in the fuselage sides and
the second dowel through the two rear holes in
the fuselage sides. Adjust the dowels so both
ends of each dowel protrude from the fuselage
sides an equal amount. See photo # 6 below.

3) When satisfied with the fit, use a pen and
place a mark on each dowel at the point where
they exit the fuselage sides.
o
4) Remove the dowels and mix a small
amount of Kwik Bond 30 Minute Epoxy. Apply
a thin layer of epoxy to the inside edges of all four
holes in the fuselage. Carefully slide the dowels
into place up to the marks made. Double check
that they are centered and use paper towels and
rubbing alcohol to remove any excess epoxy be-
