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.
