3- Joining the wing

1- Trial fit the wing joiner, into one of the wing panels. It should insert smoothly up to the center line marked. 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.

2- Check for the correct dihedral angle 3- Apply a generous amount of epoxy into the wing joiner cavity of one wing half. Next, 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. 4- Do the same way with the other wing half. 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. Clean off the excess epoxy with kerosene (do not use strong sloven or pure alcohol ). 5- Using the binder clip and rubber band to hold the wing together securely while the epoxy cures.

Trial fit the vertical fin in position. Using a 90-degree triangle, ensure that the vertical stabilizer is perpendicular to the horizontal stabilizer.

10- Vertical stabilizer

Spread epoxy (30 minute) onto the both sides of the vertical stabilizer along the area where the covering was removed and to the fuselage where the vertical stabilizer mounts.

Install the vertictal stabilizer into the fuselage and adust the alignment as described in steep

9. Allow the epoxy to cure before proceeding to next step.

Use a pencil, trace around the vertical stabilizer where it meets the fuselage

Remove the vertical stabilizer from the fuselage. Using s sharp hobby knife, cut away both sides the covering below the lines which were drawn in the previous step. Do NOT cut into the wood.

WARNING! Securely glue together. If coming off during flights, you lose control of your airplane which leads to accidents !

Cut 1-3/16” (30mm) long slots along the hinge line in the leading edge of the rudder.

Drill a 3/32”(2.5mm) diameter hole in tail wheel gear mounting slot, marking sure that you drill the hole perpendicular to the leading edge of the rudder.

Tail wheel gear mounting slot

Without using glue yet, push the rudder and its hinges into the hinge slots in the trailing edge of the vertical stabilizer, marking sure that the tail wheel gear is firmly seated in the slot in the rudder. There should be a minimal hinge gap and the end of the rudder should not rub against the vertical stabilizer.

When satisfied with the fit and alignment, hinge the rudder to the vertical stabilizer, using 5 minute epoxy. Make sure to apply a thin layer of epoxy to the right and left of both hinges and to the inside the tail wheel gear mounting slot.
