6. Use scissors to cut a piece of hook and loop
tape the size of the remove receiver. Use the tape
to attach the remote receiver to the side of the
fuselage as shown.
7. Slide the short carbon wing tube in the bottom
wing panel. The tube will slide in the socket easily,
so don’t force it farther than it will easily slide.
We left the string tied to the aileron servo lead, but
cut it to a length of 3-inches (76mm) so the lead can
be easily retrieved if it falls back into the wing.
8. Slide the carbon tube and wing panel into the
bottom wing center section. Plug the lead from the
aileron servo into the Y-harness. The panel will fit
tight against the center section when installed.
9. Use a 4-40 x 1/2-inch socket head machine
screw and #4 washer to secure the wing panel to
the center section. Use a 3/32-inch hex wrench to
tighten the screw.
10. Repeat Steps 8 and 9 to attach the remaining
bottom wing panel.

1. Use eight 4-40 x 1/2-inch socket head machine
screws and eight #4 washers to attach the cabane
struts to the fuselage. Note the left cabane struts
are marked and are located on the left side of the
fuselage as viewed if sitting in the pilot seat. Do
not tighten the screws at this time as they will be
tightened after the wings are installed on the aircraft.
