32. S
harpen both ends of two(2) 54 cm (21¼-inch) carbon-fibre rods
w
ith sandpaper. Bend each rod and insert its ends into the two
predrilled holes in the bottom of each lower wing panel roughly 7-
inches from the wing tips. Secure both ends of each “wing skid”
with a few drops of CA adhesive [22:52].
33. Identify and set aside the “22 mm dia. by 665 mm long” UPPER
wing-joiner tube [23:32].
34. Using care to not damage either windshield or the rudder, place the
Jenny’s fuselage on its back. Apply a dry lubricant (graphite or
equivelant) to the “22 mm diameter by 668 mm long”
LOWER
wi
ng’s joiner tube. Insert the LOWER wing-joiner tube into the
lower wing’s left and right panels, slide the panels together, and
center the wing in the fuselage’s wing saddle. Secure the wing to the
fuselage with the provided 50 cm (2-inch) hex-head bolts at the front
of the wing and 63 mm (2½-inch) hex-head bolts at the rear; tighten
all four bolts with the provided Allen wrench [23:40].
35. Position and press the longest airfoil-shaped aluminum fairing onto
the landing gear’s axle with its blunt leading edge toward the nose
and its slotted side down. Similiarly position the remaining four
airfoil-shaped aluminum fairings on the landing-gear struts.
(Note: The cross-brace will be installed toward the Jenny’s tail.)
36. Use CA adhesive to secure the landing gear fairings [24:21].
37. Place a wheel collar and a wheel on each axle. Position a wheel
collar against the outside surface of each wheel and tighten the set
screw to secure each wheel on the axle [26:06].
38. Make a single cut down the center of the covering material above
each pregrooved landing-gear mounting slot (one in front of and one
behind the lower wing).
39
. Position the landing gear above the grooves. Firmly press the
landing gear into each groove, allowing the covering material’s cut
edges to be pushed down into the grooves with the landing gear
[26:36].
