Once the alignment is correct, continue with F5. In this photo you can see the u-shaped brackets that are tack-glued to the front of F-5.

Where the 4 small holes are in the front of these brackets, we next drill through and then tap the carbon fiber former so that the brackets may be further held in place with 4-40 bolts. Don't forget to add the washers and nuts that get glued to the rear of the former to provide a larger threaded area for these bolts to hold onto.

The wing mounting is completed by applying some beads of thick CA to tack glue the formers to the fuselage, prior to removing the wing and using Aeropoxy to securely glue the formers in place.

Since the wing-fairing area of the fuselage previously was noted to move in & out slightly when the wings were added or removed, particular attention should be paid to tack-glue this area of the fuselage to F-4 and F-5 so that it can not move when the wings are removed this time.
