Default RE: MY KADET LT-40 BUILD

How would it be with sliding the dihedral braces (wing joiners) into the wing as instructed, wicking thin CA into the joints. After its dry reinforce the joiner with 30-minute epoxy at all contact points?

I trial fit the braces into the wing panels to test for fit and it all looks real good. I was able to slide the braces out of the right wing panel OK with only one cracked rib [:@] but now one of the braces I can not slide out of the left wing panel without breaking ribs. The braces are very tight fitting so it would be very hard to epoxy the braces first and then slide them in, so how bout the plan above, that would be just as strong wouldn't it? Maybe even stronger because along with the thin CA wicked in you have the epoxy reinforcing the whole thing.

Someone please respond!!! As I stand now the braces (joiners) are still not glued permanently in, waiting for replies and to see what Ken does. And please respond to the questions in the above post. Thank you all so much!!!
