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

Trial fit each part before gluing . Be certain that there are no gaps.
If the parts will join, but with a gaps, sand or trim the parts a little at a time
until the parts meet exactly with no gaps.

Carefully slide the wing halves together, ensuring that they are accurately
aligned, firmly press the two halves together, allowing the excess epoxy run
out. Clean off the excess epoxy.

When joining the wing halves it is extremely important to use plenty of epoxy
