9. Make 30mm wide strips from the supplied 3oz fiberglass.
Sand the surface around the seams to remove the shine from
the skin. Glue fiberglass strips using foam safe CA or
laminating epoxy. Fast epoxy will give you a nasty yellow
color, especially after some sun exposure.
When gluing fiberglass on the bottom of the joints,
spray it very lightly with 3M77 and apply it to the joint,
then soak it with glue.

10. Put the wing into the saddle and mark the
locations of the holes in the bulkhead on the leading
edge of the wing.
|
11. Make holes in the wing's leading edge at the marked
locations. You can use X-actor knife for "drilling". The holes
do not have to be deep, only through the skin. Sharpen
the carbon pins and insert them into the holes. Make sure
to angle the pins down a little. Pull the pins out, apply
foam safe CA and insert them again.
|
12. Put the wing back into the saddle and notice how well
the pins are aligned with the holes in the bulkhead. The
holes are undersized on purpose. Enlarge the holes using
a small round file in the needed direction so that the holes
are centered with respect to the wing pins.
