Also, got the wing bolts in place. It is very important that you drill the initial hole in the ply wing root where it says in the manual. It may seem odd at first but if you don't you will not be able to get the wing bolt, door ram and wheels all in place so make sure you follow the instructions! You may find that in order for the captive nut to sit flush on the ply plate you need to cut off the front part but this is probably the most 'fiddly' thing to do in the whole build

Standard process really. Drill the root rib hole 6mm. Slide the wing on the tube, mark the centre point on the fuselage, remove the wing, drill the hole in the fuse 7.5mm, refit the wing and use the bolt to pull the captive nut into the ply a little before removing everything. Now, simply pull the captive nut into place using the wing bolt and some strength! I found that two large fender washers were ideal for 'pulling' the captive nut into the ply plate inside the fuse.

When you're happy with the position of everything, run some epoxy over the captive nuts to hold them securely in place. Avoid getting any glue in the thread of course!
