1) 

Wing Construction:  

The wing consists 

of four sections; the center section, the 
two outer sections, and the fiberglass 
belly pan.  Carefully unpack the four 
sections and lay them out on your 
building table. 

2)  Next locate the two 3/16” plywood 

dihedral braces.  Note that there is a 
long and short side to the braces.  The 
short side mates with the center section, 
and the long sides mate with the outer 
sections. 

3)  Using the 30-minute epoxy, glue the 

dihedral braces into the center section 
of the wing. 

4)  Pull strings for the servo leads are 

already installed in each section of the 
wing.  Before adding the outer wing 
sections, it will be necessary to pull the 
strings out from both sides of the center 
section and the root of  each outer 
panel. 

5)  When the epoxy has cured in the center 

section, tie the end of the pull string 
from one side of the center section to 
the string from one of the outer wing 

panels.  We are showing the right side 
here. 

6)  Next, apply 30-minute epoxy inside the 

slot in the outer wing panel.  Now, using 
5-minute epoxy, apply an even thin coat 
to the root rub of the wing panel. 

7)  Slide the wing panel onto the dihedral 

brace and up against the end of the 
center section, keeping the trailing edge 
of the wing aligned.  

Have a paper 

towel and alcohol handy to wipe away 
any excess epoxy that might ooze out 
between panels. 

Make sure the string 

does not get glued between the two 
sections.  An easy way to do this is to 
hold the center section vertical and let 
the weight of the balsa at the end of the 
string pull the string through as you join 
the sections.  Secure the panels in 
alignment until the 5-minute epoxy has 
cured.  Repeat the process for the other 
outer wing panel.  Set aside until the 30-
minute epoxy has cured. 

8)  The ailerons have already been hinged, 

but the hinges have not been glued.
