23. Use 6-minute epoxy to glue WBP to the fuse sides.

24. Position the die-cut 1/8" ply F4B former vertically and

flush with the front of the fuse top. Glue it in place.

1. Lightly sand the wing saddle area.

2. Fit the wing to the fuse. If the wing chord is too wide,

sand the TE of the wing until the wing fits cleanly in the fuse.

3. Stick a T-pin through the center of the aft end of the

fuselage bottom. Tie a string to the T-pin. Pull the string to

the TE of the wing tip and put a piece of masking tape on
the string near 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 same point. If it does not, shift the wing and mark
the new location of the tip by adjusting the position of the
tape on the string. Do this until the arrow on the string aligns
with both tips.

4. Measure 1" forward from the TE of the wing and draw

a line parallel to the TE across the width of the fuse.

5. Keeping the wing aligned with the fuse, drill a 5/32"

hole through the wing and the WBP on the line, 1/2" inside
the edge of the fuse side.

❏ ❏

6. Remove the wing. Tap the hole in WBP with a 10-32

tap. Enlarge only the hole in the wing to 13/64".

7. Bolt the wing to the fuse with the one 10-32 x 2" nylon

bolt. Repeat steps 5 and 6, drilling and taping the second
bolt hole.

8. Harden the threads in WBP with thin CA. After the CA

has fully cured, retap the holes to clean up the threads.
