❏ 22. Fit and epoxy the 1/4" x 1-3/4" x 5-3/4" ply
wing bolt plate.

MOUNT THE WING

❏ 1. Slide the wing halves together on the aluminum
tube and center the wing on the fuse. Note: Be sure
the wing halves are slid all the way onto the tube.

❏ 2. Using a 5/16" drill bit, drill one hole through
bulkheads 3A, 3B, 3C, the dowel plates and the
front ply shear web. Note: Only drill through the

bulkheads, then the first front ply shear web. DO
NOT drill through the second shear web.

❏ 3. From the 5/16" dowel, cut two 3" pieces. Fit
the 5/16" dowel through the hole you drilled.

❏ 4. Drill the second hole the same as the first,
making sure the wing halves are still tight against
each other.

❏ 5. Remove the wings from the fuse and the wing
tube. Round one end of each 5/16" x 3" dowel. Epoxy
a wing dowel in place in each wing half, with 1/2”
of the rounded end protruding. Allow the epoxy to
cure completely before continuing.

❏ 6. Cut the 1/16" x 2" x 7" birch ply sheet in half,
making two 3-1/2" wing bolt plates. Glue one wing
bolt plate to each wing half as shown.
