Wing:
The wings are laminated from a
lightweight fibreglass and foam
sandwich, cured under vac-
uum, and are painted in the
molds in a single colour.
Ailerons and Flaps are elastic-
hinged for your convenience.
The hatches in the bottom skin
for the servos are also elastic
hinged and already cut out for
you at the factory. Likewise the
main landing gear bays are al-
ready trimmed, and separate
molded covers are supplied.
Wing Joining
The left and right wing panels
are connected together with a
pair of rectangular fibreglass
rods and a Ø 7mm dowel at the
front. The joined wing is at-
tached to the fuselage with 2
more Ø 7mm fibreglass dowels
in the leading edge, that fit into
matching holes in the fuselage
bulkhead, and at the back they
are held onto the fuselage with
a pair of M4 x 25mm allen bolts
that screw thru' the wing into T-
nuts in the fuselage. The 3
dowels fit into fibreglass tubes
that are installed in the wing
during manufacture. You only
need to glue in the 3 dowels &
the 2 rectangular wing joiners.
Slide the rectangular joining
rods into the tubes in the wings
(the longer rod at the front), and
the Ø 7mm x 75mm long front anti-rotation dowel, and
check that the wing roots align perfectly with each
other. You may need to lightly sand the outside of them
with 800 grit for a smooth fit. Apply 1 or 2 coats of clear
car wax to both wing roots. Prepare the parts of the
wing joiners that will be glued into the wings with light
sanding, and also inside the tubes in the wings. The
front joiner should project out of the wing root approx.
125mm, the back joiner approx. 80mm, and the front
anti-rotation dowel 35mm. Apply 2 coats of wax only to
