Step 9
Without using any glue, test the fit of the wing panels and
wing joiner. The panels must fit together without any gaps,
top or bottom. If any gaps do exist, use a sanding bar to
lightly sand the root ribs of both panels until the panels fit
together perfectly.
Note: Read through the remaining steps
of this section before mixing any epoxy.
Hint: It is extremely important to use
plenty of epoxy when joining the wing
panels. It will also be helpful to use
wax paper under the wing joint to avoid
gluing the wing to your work surface.
Step 10
With one wing panel flat onthe work surface, check that
