Step 16.
Press the blind nuts into position below the rear wing
hold-down block in the rear portion of the fuselage wing area.
One method is to use pliers with an adjustable opening to
squeeze the blind nuts so the "teeth" penetrate the wood and
stay in place.
Note:
It's important that the blind nuts be fully pressed in
against the bottom of the wing hold-down block to make
sure they are properly aligned. This sets the alignment
angle of the wing hold-down bolts. It’s a good idea to place
a piece of wood on the top side of the wing bolt hold-down
block to keep from crushing the wood.
Step 17.
A small drop of CA glue will help hold the blind nuts
in place. Use care not to get the CA on the inner threads of the
blind nuts.
Step 18.
Fit the wing into position on the fuselage. Thread the
wing hold-down screws into the wing and loosely tighten them.
Check the alignment of the wing by measuring the alignment as
you did in Step 14. It may be necessary to slightly enlarge the
holes with a small round file to obtain the proper alignment.
When you are satisfied with the fit, tighten down the wing hold
down bolts.
Step 19.
Locate the red wing center tape. Apply to the top of
the wing center section as needed.
