To support thejoinertubes parts 43, 44, 45 and 46 are
fitted round them. Trim the parts to fit and glue them
in place with 5-minute epoxy, Take care to produce
strong joints between thejoiner tubes, the wings and
the packing pieces.
When the glue has set hard sand back the packing
pieces flush with the underside of the ribs 40.
The underside of the wing root can now be sheeted
in. This is carried out using the method described for
sheeting the top and bottom of the fuselage. Sand
the sheeting back flush with the root ribs.

the wing root faces with the sanding bbck to obtain
a fit. Once you are sure that everything fits
corredly we suggest that you glue the steel rods into
one the wing panels. This prevents the joiners
rotating in the tubes, and avoids the danger of bsing
them.
