Step 1.
Locate the wing strut and tail brace material and their
associated hardware.
Step 2.
Locate the mounting points for the wing struts in each
wing panel. The holes are small and the covering will have to be
cut away to expose the blind nuts mounted in the wing to accept
the wing struts mounting screws.
Step 3.
Locate the mounting points for the struts on either side
of the main landing gear.
Step 4.
Attach the wing to the fuselage if you have not done so.
Next, attach each wing strut to the wing using the screws and
washers provided.
Step 5.
The struts are attached to the main gear using
a screw, nut, and washer.
