2. Test fit the plywood wing joiner into the joiner pocket in
each wing half. Be careful to make sure that you insert the
joiner positioned as shown.
3. When satisfied with the fit, apply 30-minute epoxy to
the joiner, the joiner pockets and the root of both wing
halves. Insert the joiner into the pockets. Clean excess
epoxy with denatured alcohol. Hold the wing together by
applying masking tape to the top and bottom of the wing. Set
the wing aside and allow the glue to harden.
Mount the Wing to the Fuselage
1. Cut the covering from the top and bottom of the wing
revealing the wing bolt holes.
2. Center the hardwood wing bolt plates over the wing bolt
holes. Use a fine-point felt-tip pen to trace the wing bolt plate
location onto the wing. Cut the covering away from the wing
inside the lines you have drawn. Use a sharp #11 hobby knife
or use the Expert Tip that follows to cut the covering from the
wing along the lines you have marked. Use care to cut only
into the covering and not into the wood.
HOW TO CUT COVERING FROM BALSA
Use a soldering iron to cut the covering from the stab. The
tip of the soldering iron doesn't have to be sharp, but a fine
tip does work best. Allow the iron to heat fully. Use a
straightedge to guide the soldering iron at a rate that will just
melt the covering and not burn into the wood. The hotter the
soldering iron, the faster it must travel to melt a fine cut.
