Step 1
Attach two strut brackets to the bottom of the wing using
four 4-40 x 1/2" socket head screws. Use threadlock to
prevent the screws from loosening during flight.
Step 2
Thread the strut support anchors into the holes in the
wing. The anchors have external threads.
Step 3
Attach the strut to the strut brackets using two 4-40 x 1/2"
socket head screws and two 4-40 lock nuts. The wide strut
goes towards the leading edge, the narrow strut towards
the trailing edge.
Note: The airfoil of the struts matches the
direction of the wing. The struts also have
fittings in the center, which will face towards
the wing when installed.
