ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Slide the canopy forward.

2. Lift the rear of the canopy so the wire clears the fuse.

3. Slide the canopy aft until the front wire releases.

4. To attach the canopy reverse the previous steps.

Note: Accurate assembly of the wing is critical. In addition

to your first cursory reading, please read all steps in this

section carefully prior to beginning wing assembly.

1. Test fit the wing joiner into the slots in the wing halves.

Sand the joiners as required to get a good fit. Note: If the

root rib angles aren't exactly the same, that's OK. The

difference can be filled with a little epoxy when the wings are

joined. The proper dihedral angle and the gluing of the wing

joiner are more important than the fit of the two wing panels.

2. Cover your workbench with wax paper or Great Planes

Plan Protector.

3. With the inner left wing flat on your workbench and the

center joint on the wax paper, raise the right wing tip 5-1/2"

[140mm] to properly set the dihedral. Block the raised right

wing at the desired height and make a mental note of the

position needed for it to maintain that dihedral.

4. Remove the joiner from the wings. Cover the joiner, left

and right wing ribs and pockets in the wing panels with a

moderate, but not excessive amount of 30-minute epoxy.

Join the wing halves together. Ensure that the left wing

remains flat and that the right wing tip is 5-1/2" [140mm]

from your work bench and can remain that way undisturbed

until the epoxy has hardened. Remove any excess epoxy

with a paper towel and denatured alcohol, being careful not

to disturb the joint. Hint: Use masking tape to hold the wing

together while the epoxy hardens.

5. Glue the plywood TE support centered on the TE of

the wing with CA.
