8. Glue the fuse sides to the fuse top and bottom with thin

CA. Leave the fuse assembly pinned to your work surface.

9. Fit two of the die-cut 1/8" ply bolt plates in place on

the fuse and mark as shown in the photo.

10. Using medium CA, laminate the two marked plates

onto the two unmarked plates.

11. Mark 1/16" down on the TE of each laminated block.

Using your bar sander, sand a taper between the two lines.

12. Using 6-minute epoxy, securely glue the wing bolt

blocks in place.

1. Sand the entire wing saddle area lightly until the fuse

side doublers and fuse sides are flush.

2. Trial fit the wing on the fuse. If the wing is slightly too

large (front to rear) to fit into the saddle, sand the TE of the
wing slightly until it fits.

3. Center the wing side to side as follows: Stick a T-pin in

F-3 aligned with the center mark. Tie a piece of string
around the T-pin. Pull the string to the wing tip and put a
piece of masking tape on the string at the wing tip. Mark an
arrow on the tape, then slide the tape on the string so the
arrow aligns with the wing tip. Swing the string over to the
other tip and see if it aligns with the other wing tip. If
necessary, shift the wing and mark the location of the tip by
adjusting the position of the tape on the line. Do this until
the arrow on the string aligns with both tips. Measure down
from the bottom of both tip ribs to the flat surface. If the
measurements are not equal (within 1/16"),sand the saddle
until the wing sits level.

4. While holding the wing firmly in place, drill 1/4" holes

through the front and back dihedral braces as shown.
Remove the wing from the fuse.
