❏
1. Identify the strut mounts. The two mounts that are
labeled “B” are used on the bottom wing and are shaped
accordingly. Enlarge the screw holes slightly with a 1/16"
[1.6mm] drill. This will prevent them from cracking during
normal use.
❏
2. Install the four upper wing strut mounts as shown. Note:
There is no front or rear side for the top mounts; they are
symmetrical. Install the strut mounts in the wings using thin
CA. Install the lower strut mounts so they match the curve of
the lower wing.
❏
3. Install the cabane struts to the wing center section
using three countersunk 2 x 6mm [1/4"] sheetmetal
screws. Remember to harden the screw holes with thin CA.
INSTALL THE WINGS
❏
1. Fit the upper wing to the fuselage. Attach the forward
cabane struts to the fuselage using four 2 x 6mm [1/4"]
sheetmetal screws. Attach the rear cabane strut with four
countersunk 2 x 6mm [1/4"] sheetmetal screws. Route the
aileron servo lead into the fuselage through the square hole
near the front left cabane. Plug the aileron servo lead into
your receiver. Harden the screw holes with thin CA.
❏
2. Attach the interplane wing struts to the upper wing
using four 2 x 5mm [3/16"] washer-head screws. Remove the
screws and struts and harden the screw holes with thin CA.
❏
3. Install the lower wing using two 3 x 20mm [3/4"] machine
screws, two 3mm washers and the pre-drilled wooden
reinforcement plate. Fit the plate so that the engraved side is
away from the wing surface. Apply thread locking compound
to the screw threads and tighten the screws until the lower
