If exposed to direct sunlight and/or heat, wrinkels can appear. Storing the
model in a cool place will let the wrinkles disappear. Otherwise, remove
wrinkles in covering film with a hair dryer, starting with
low temperature. You can fix the corners by using a hot iron.

Bei Sonneneinstrahlung und/oder Wärme kann die Folie erschlaffen bzw. Falten
entstehen. Verwenden Sie ein Warumluftgebläse (Haartrockner) um evtl. Falten aus der Folie
zu bekommen. Die Kanten können Sie mit einem Bügeleisen behandeln. Nicht zuviel Hitze anwenden !

Without using Epoxy yet, trial fit the wing joiner into one
of the wing panels.
Next, slide the other wing half onto the dihedral brace until the
wing panels meet. If the fit is overly tight, it may be necessary
to lightly sand the dihedral brace.

30 min.
Epoxy

Carefully slide the wing halves together, ensuring that
they are accurately aligned.
Firmly press the two halves together, allowing the excess epoxy
to run out. Using a paper towel, clean off the excess epoxy.

Draw the center line
on the wing joiner

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.

Hold the wing halves together with paper
clamp and rubber band.
