1. Attach the lower wing to the fuselage with the 1/4-20
nylon wing bolts.
❏ ❏
2. Locate eight metal cabane mounting brackets. Set
four brackets for the top wing to the side. We will be installing
the brackets on the bottom wing first.
Do the left wing first so your work matches the photos
the first time through.
❏ ❏
3. Look closely on the top of the bottom wing and you
will find small holes under the covering locating the blind
nuts for the “N” strut mounting bolts. Cut the covering from
each of the holes. Note: 4-40 Blind nuts have been installed
in the wing for all of the “N” struts and cabane mounting
bolts. All of the blind nuts are glued into the wing and have
a small wood plate backing them up. It is possible that a
blind nut could have a bit of glue in the threads. In most
cases the installation of the bolt should free the glue. If not,
run a 4-40 tap through the threads to clear the glue.
❏ ❏
4. Mount the bottom wing cabane brackets in each of
the holes in the right wing panel with a 4-40 x 1/2" [13mm]
socket head cap screw and a #4 lock washer. Do not fully
tighten the bracket to the wing yet.
❏ ❏
5. Note that the “N” strut has one leg that is slightly
longer than the other. The shorter leg goes toward the
leading edge of the wing. Attach the “N” strut to the brackets
as shown with 4-40 x 1/2" [13mm] socket head cap screws,
#4 washers and a 4-40 nylon lock nuts.
❏
6. Go back and repeat steps 3-5 for the right wing panel.
❏
7. Locate the holes and cut the covering from the blind nuts
in the bottom of the top wing. Four are located in the center of
the wing and two are located at each end of the wing.
❏
8. Install the center cabanes with 4-40 x 3/4" [19mm]
socket head cap screws, #4 flat washers and #4 lock
washers. Be sure you mount the cabanes as shown.
❏
9. Install the four remaining brackets in the blind nuts at
the wing tips of the top wing using 4-40 x 1/2" [13mm] socket
head cap screws and #4 lock washers.
