P-47 THUNDERBOLT 5- JOINNING THE WING Draw the center line on the wing joiner Without using Epoxy yet, trial fit the wing joiner into one of the wing panels. Next, slide the other wing half onto the dihedral brace until the wing panels meet. If the fit is overly tight, it may be necessary to lightly sand the dihedral brace. Coat one half of the dihedral brace with epoxy up to the center line. Install the epoxy-coated side of the dihedral brace into the wing joiner cavity up to the center line. 30 min.

P-47 THUNDERBOLT 12- WING INSTALLATION 6x50mm nylon bolt .....2 P-47 THUNDERBOLT 13- STABILIZER INSTALLATION Push the horizontal stabilizer into the slot on the fuselage as show. Check the alignment of the horizontal stabilizer by measuring from a fixed point along the center line of the fuselage to the leading edge on each side of the horizontal stabilizer. The distance must be equal on both sides . If not, adjust the stabilizer until the measurements are the same (see picture below: A=A’).

CA B=B’ B B’ Install the horizontal stabilizer onto the fuselage and adjust the alignment as described in steep 13A. Note: it is important to ensure that the horizontal stabilizer is also level in regards to the wing. The distance must be equal on both sides. If not, adjust the stabilizer until the measurements are the same.

DO NOT try to fly an out-of balance model! Wing center section Lead How to add nose weight To get the correct C.G., Several strips of lead weight were required in the nose of this model . To minimize the amount of weight required, it is desirable to position the weight as far forward as possible. IMPORTANT: Recheck the C.G.
