Using a pencil, mark the center of the brace. This mark will serve as the center line when joining the wing halves.

Coat one half of the dihedral brace with epoxy up to the center line. Install the epoxy-coated side of the dihedral brace into the wing joiner cavity up to the center line, making sure that the “V” of the dihedral brace is positioned correctly. Apply the generous amount of epoxy into the wing cavity of the center wing. Smear epoxy on all sides of the exposed area of the dihedral brace and uniformly coat both wing roots with epoxy. Carefully slide the wing halves together, ensuring that they are accurately aligned.

Firmly press the two wing halves together, allowing the excess epoxy to run out. Using kerosene and paper towel, clean off the excess epoxy

WARNING: Securely glue together, if coming of during flights, you lose control of your plane which lead to accidents.

IMPORTANT: Please do not clean off the excess epoxy on the wing with strong solvent or pure alcohol, only use kerosene to keep the colour of your model not fade.
