sheeted areas to thoroughly bond the covering to the wood.

ASSEMBLY

Assemble the Wing

tube and the 1" [25.4mm] steel alignment pin into the right
wing panel as shown.

❏

2. Carefully slide the left wing panel in place as shown,

making sure that the servo lead does not get pinched.

❏

3. Fasten the wing halves together using the two included

nylon straps and four #2 x 3/8" [9.5mm] self-tapping screws
as shown.
