First step I took was I removed the covering for the hatches in the wings and the servos. Make sure you use a very sharp hobby knife to cut these holes. After cutting the holes I located the two hatches supplied and put them on. Using a small fine drill bit I drilled two holes in each hatch for the screws to go through to secure the hatch.
Second I installed the servos in the wing. To me just using the screws provided with the servo works perfect installing them to this airplane. Just located a screwdriver or drill and screw the servos in. For small profiles I usually dont worry about putting some CA down the holes. It is up to you if you want to do this.
As you can see in the pictures below you see that there is only one screw hole and blind nut that holds the two wings together on the fuse. The screw provided has a plywood round piece at the end so you can tighten this one screw with your fingers. This is so you dont need tools at the field to put your airplane together with. There are two dowls on one wing that slide through the body and go through the holes in the other wing. There is also a wingtube that goes through the middle to help support the wing to the fuse. The pictures show what type of setup it is. You do however need one tool to take apart the hatch when you need to insert the screw for the wings. All is needed for this is a regular small screwdriver.

More pics and info coming soon. The plane is already built I am just trying to add the pictures and content in one at a time. I plan to test fly the plane tomorrow.
