Ultra Stick™ Lite
comes from the factory with two predrilled
holes in the leading edge of the wing for the
alignment dowels, and two predrilled holes for
the wing hold down bolts. The Ultra Stick Lite
comes with the wing bolt T-nuts preinstalled
in the fuselage.
Step 1
Locate the predrilled leading edge dowel holes located
on both sides of the center joint of the wing.
Step 2
Locate and trial fit the leading edge wing dowels into the
holes in the leading edge. There should be approximately
1/2" of dowel protruding from the leading edge of the
wing, (trim the dowels as necessary). Mark each dowel
where it exits the leading edge of wing.
Step 3
Remove the wing dowels and mix about 1/2 ounce of
6-minute epoxy. Use a generous amount of epoxy in the
leading edge holes and on the portion of the dowels that
will be inserted into the wing. Insert dowels into the wing
and wipe off any excess epoxy. Set the wing aside and
allow epoxy to cure.
