Status: offline 		First I had to set the incedence on bottom wing to match the horiz stab. Mine was off by a -1/2 degree. I spaced it and got it to zero.
Next I sset the upper wing in, it's incendence is set to -1 degree off the lower wing.
I then glued in the strut tabs. I held it all together with the tape while it dried.

Status: offline 		The cabanes....

I had some that where misdrilled by the factory. So I redrilled and got them square on the center rib where I wanted them.
I also took off the excess center rib so mine blended smooth with the forward cabane strut.

These pictures show the center rib before and after. The slightly blurry picture showes where the stok struts would have ended up. THe sweep is top pointing forward. I didn't care much for this look.

Status: offline 		Here I am attaching the alerons to the wings. I chose to leave hte wings on the plane just because it gave me a place to work with.

Status: offline 		I didn't get a picture of the tabs but I will get one tomorrow. In the mean time I will try to discribe.

The wing struts mount to 2 tabs on each wing. The strut slides down on the tabs and you bolt the strut through these tabs. If you look at this picture you can see the bolts in the struts. Just picture the tabs where those bolts are.


Actually I got around to getting the picture tonight.

Status: offline 		Yes the tabs must be glued into the wings. This leaves a little flexibility in positioning things.

In case the user wants a little different incidence in the top wing, or if in manufacturing the alignment did not come out perfect this allows some adjustment during assembly to get everything exactly where you want it before finally gluing the tabs in.

Status: offline 		Yes, I glued the tabs into the wing.
Bottom wing first. I applied some thick CA into the wing then inserted the strut with the tab attached to the strut.

When it was dry I positioned my top wing to get the correct incedence. Then I used thick CA on the top tabs that are already secured to the strut and put on the top wing. I rechecked my incedenece and taped it in place.

After I was sure the tabs where secure I disassembled the struts from the wings and poured thin CA into the tab slots to secure them further.

FWIW, this is also covered in the manual.
