13. After the 6-minute epoxy has cured, apply 30-minute

epoxy to the joiner and wing joiner pocket in the wing as well
as the root rib. Use masking tape to hold the two wing
halves together while the glue is drying.

1. Mark the center of the forward bulkhead that the

leading edge of the wing will attach to.

2. Place the wing in the wing saddle and align the center

of the wing on the mark you just made.

3. With the wing in the saddle and the center of the wing

aligned with the mark on the bulk head, drill two 1/4" (6mm)
holes into the wing. Drill the holes through the pre-drilled
holes that are in the bulk head.

4. Insert the 1/4" (6mm) wooden dowel into the leading

edge of the wing. The dowel should extend 1/4” (6mm)
beyond the LE of the wing. Trial fit the wing to the fuselage.
When you are satisfied with the fit, glue the dowels in place
in the wing with 6-minute epoxy.

5. When the dowels are secured to the wing they should

be flush with the bulkhead. If they are not, trim them flush.
Slightly round the tip of the dowels for easy installation of the
wing to the fuselage.
