The wing halves slide together using an aluminum rod and wooden dowel to align and support it. The latches are then secured with screws into the pre-drilled holes.

I connected the aileron linkage up and tested the electronics using the supplied receiver battery that I charged overnight along with the transmitter. The Futaba radio comes with a dual wall charger to charge both the receiver battery and transmitter at the same time. Remember to turn on the transmitter first and then flip the receiver switch on the side of the fuselage second.

To my surprise, not only were the elevator, rudder, and ailerons all going in the correct direction but I didn't need to trim any of the surfaces!
