4. Mark two additional lines 1-3/8" on both sides of the
centerline.
❏
5. Slide the wing into the fuse until it is centered. When
the marks on the trailing edge of the wing and the opening
in the front of the wing are equally spaced between the
fuselage sides, the wing is centered. Test fit the battery
holder into fuse. If necessary, trim the edges of the opening
in the wing or sand the sides of the battery holder until it fits
in the fuse without disturbing the wing.
❏
6. Glue the wing to the fuselage with 30-minute epoxy. If
necessary, use pins to hold it in place until the epoxy
hardens.
❏
7. Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to cut a small notch
for the wing struts in the bottom of the right side of the fuse
directly above the landing gear. Similarly, cut the slots in the
bottom of the wing at an angle to accommodate the top of
the wing struts.
