Section 5: Mounting the Wing to the FuselageParts Needed• Wing• Fuselage• Wing hold down hardwareTools and Adhesives Needed• Hobby knife with #11 blade• 30-minute epoxy• Epoxy brush• Mixing stick• Rubbing alcohol• Felt-tipped pen or pencil• Pliers• Ruler• Drill• Drill bit, 1 /4”• Round fileStep 1. Locate the forward mounting bolt holes in the wing.Trim the covering from the mounting bolt holes with a sharphobby knifeStep 2. Place the wing onto the fuselage. Use care as the firstfew times the wing is inserted, the fit is snug. Note the tolerancebetween the wing and the fuselage. There is little movement ofthe wing once it is in the fuselage wing saddle area. You cancheck the alignment of the wing to the centerline of the fuselageby making a reference mark at the tail of the fuselage, thenmeasuring each wing tip to make sure the wing is aligned.Step 3. With the wing centered in the fuselage wing saddlearea, secure it with masking tape so it will not move from side toside. Measure from wing-tip to the center of the fuselage at therear. When you are satisfied with the alignment then proceed.Step 5. Use the holes in the top wing bolt plates at the trailingedge of the wing as a guide to drill two holes into the plywoodwing support at the rear of the hatch area in the fuselage. Again,drill at 90 degrees to the wing chord line.Step 6. Remove the wing from the fuselage. Trial fit the blindnuts into position under the fuselage plywood wing supports atthe front and back of the fuselage hatch opening. Use pliers withan adjustable opening to squeeze the blind nuts into position sothe “teeth” penetrate the wood and stay in place.Note: It is a good idea to place a piece of scrap wood on thetop side of the plywood wing hold down blocks whenpressing the blind nuts into place.EDGE <strong>540</strong>EDGEUltra Aerobatic 1.20 ARF<strong>540</strong>Ultra Aerobatic 1.20 ARFStep 4.

Section 5: Mounting the Wing to the FuselageCONTINUEDStep 7. Once the blind nuts are in place, trial fit the wing ontothe fuselage and insert the nylon mounting bolts. Tightenenough to hold the wing in place but do not completely tighten.Check the alignment of the wing to the reference point on thefuselage again as done in Step 2. When you are satisfied withthe alignment, tighten securely. Remove the bolts and wing.Apply some 30-minute epoxy to the blind nuts to secure them.Section 6: Installing the TailFuselage Parts Needed• Fuselage• Wing• Horizontal stabilizer with elevators• Vertical stabilizer with rudderTools and Adhesives Needed• Thin CA glue• CA Remover/debonder• 30-minute epoxy• Epoxy brush• Mixing stick• Hobby knife with #11 blade• Straight edge (36”)• Felt-tipped pen or pencil• Masking tape• Rubbing alcohol• Paper towels• Ruler• 90-degree triangleStep 1. On the rear of the fuselage, carefully remove the tapeholding the shaped fairing blocks onto the fuselage. Note theyare in two separate pieces and fit over the horizontal stabilizerand around the vertical stabilizer.17
