6. While your trim iron is out, use it to thoroughly seal

the covering around the firewall, around the air passage
cutout at the firewall under the fuselage, and around the
formers at the front and back of the wing saddle.

7. Mix up a medium-size batch (approximately 1/4 oz

[7.5cc]) of 30-minute epoxy for the following three steps.

8. Cut the covering from the holes in the leading edge of both

wing halves for the wing dowels. Chamfer one end of both 3/8"
x 1-3/4" [10 x 45 mm] hardwood wing dowels. Use epoxy to glue
in both dowels so 7/16" [10 mm] of each dowel protrudes.

9. Use epoxy to glue the 1/4" x 1-1/4" [6 x 30 mm] hardwood

alignment dowel halfway into one of the wing halves.

10. Spread a thin layer of epoxy over the edges of the

covering around the firewall–this will ensure that the covering is
thoroughly sealed and fuel-proofed. Use an epoxy brush to
lightly coat the formers at both ends of the wing saddle as well.

1. Cut eight 1" x 1" [25 x 25 mm] CA hinges from the

2" x 9" [50 x 230 mm] CA hinge strip. Cut the corners off so
the hinges go in easier.
