18. The kit includes two 5/16" x 1-5/16" [8 x 35mm] wood
dowels and one 5/16" x 1-1/8" [8 x 30mm] wood dowel. Using
5 minute epoxy, glue the two 5/16" x 1-5/16" [8 x 35mm] wood
dowels into the holes in the leading edge of both wings. The
dowels should be completely seated into the hole. This will
allow approximately 5/16" [8mm] to extend out of the wing.

19. Using 5 minute epoxy, glue the 5/16" x 1-1/8" [8 x 30mm]
wood dowel into the hole at the trailing edge of the root rib on
either the left or right wing.

20. Once the glue has hardened test fit the two wing halves
together by inserting the wing tube into one of the wings
and then sliding the other wing onto the tube. Once you are
satisfied they fit together well, set the wing aside and move
on to the fuselage assembly.

It is attached to the fuselage with magnets. Pull forward on
the top of the windshield frame to release the frame from the
fuselage.

you will find it easier to handle the fuselage while assembling
the components. Locate the landing gear and the landing
gear doubler plate.
