❑ Look carefully at the center section joint: the wing halves should fit together tightly with few or no gaps in the joint.

☞

If the wing halves do not fit together properly, remove the dihedral brace and use 220 grit sandpaper with a

sanding block to lightly sand the edges and tips of the brace.

❑ When satisfied with the fit, pull the wing panels apart and remove the dihedral brace.

❑ Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy. Working with only one wing panel for now, apply a thin layer of epoxy

inside the dihedral brace box and to only half of the dihedral brace. Make sure to cover the top and bottom, as well as the

sides, and use enough epoxy to fill any gaps.

WARNING

Make sure that the top of the dihedral brace is toward the top of the wing when you glue it into place.

❑ Slide the dihedral brace into the wing panel up to its centerline. Quickly remove any excess epoxy using a paper

towel and rubbing alcohol, and allow the epoxy to set up before proceeding.

❑ After the epoxy has set up, test-fit both wing panels together again to double-check that they still fit together properly.

Check the leading and trailing edges, too. It's important that they be even with each other.

❑ Mix a generous amount of 30 minute epoxy and apply a thin layer to the exposed half of the dihedral brace, the inside

of the second wing panel, and the entire surface of both root ribs. Make sure to use enough epoxy to fill any gaps.

❑ Slide the two wing panels together and realign them. Quickly wipe away any excess epoxy using a paper towel and

rubbing alcohol, and use pieces of masking tape to hold the two wing panels aligned until the epoxy fully cures.

Step 2: Joining the Wing Panels

❑ Apply a long strip of masking tape to the top and bottom

edges of the root rib on each wing panel.

☞

The masking tape will prevent excess epoxy from getting

onto the wing panels when you join them.

❑ Once the epoxy has fully cured, remove the masking tape and double-check the center section joint. If any gaps are

present, mix a small amount of 30 minute epoxy and carefully fill any remaining gaps. Quickly remove any excess epoxy

using a paper towel and rubbing alcohol, and allow the epoxy to thoroughly cure.

☞

It's important to the overall integrity of the wing that the wing panels be glued together very securely. Do not omit

filling any and all small gaps that may exist in the joint with 30 minute epoxy.

Step 3: Checking the Center Section Joint

When joining the wing panels together, use only 30 minute or more epoxy. DO NOT USE 5 MINUTE EPOXY. It is not

strong enough and could result in the wing failing in flight.
