The root ribs are pinned to the fuselage sides with a layer of wax paper in between (a very important step, I had to prove that to myself on the previous build) Gorilla Glue is applied to the root of the wing and stab, taking great care to not get any glue in the socket. The wings and stab are then installed with some weight on the tips to hold them flush against the fuselage side. After about an hour, I twist the wing and stab tube just to ensure they are not glued in place. The electrical tape is also removed at that time as well.

One little side note. I received a second shipment of balsa and when I opened the box the smell was outstanding! I guess that is another reason I like to build with balsa.
