Section 2: Joining the Wing Halves
Required Parts
• Right/left wing panels
• Plastic wing bags (optional)
• Wing joiner brace
Required Tools and Adhesives
• 30-minute epoxy • Epoxy brush
• Mixing stick
• T-pin
• Masking tape
• Hobby knife
• Rubbing alcohol • Paper towels
• Wax paper
• Ruler
• Pencil
Step 1
Locate the wing joiner. Using a ruler, determine the center
of the brace and mark it with a pencil.
Step 2
Trial fit the wing joiner into one of the wing panels. It
should insert smoothly up to the centerline marked in
Step 1. Now slide the other wing panel onto the wing
joiner until the wing panels meet. If the fit is overly tight,
it may be necessary to sand the wing joiner.
Step 3
The Ultra Stick™ Lite is designed with "0" dihedral. Place
the wing on a large flat surface. The spar, (high point of
the wing), should be flat on the surface.
Step 4
Separate the wing halves and remove the wing joiner.
Once you’re satisfied with the trial fit of the wing panels,
you can prepare to epoxy the wing panels together.
Note
: Use the plastic wing bags as a means
of keeping epoxy from smearing on the wings.
Just slip one on each panel and use masking
tape to hold them in place.
Important
: Read through each of the
remaining steps of this section before
proceeding to epoxy the wing halves together.
Step 5
Mix approximately 1 ounce of 30-minute epoxy.
Note
: It’s extremely important to use plenty of
epoxy when gluing the wing halves together.
