Attaching Wings
| Although it can be done with fewer people, I solicited four helpers for putting the wings on the plane. Prior to moving the wings, I attached the rony brackets to the fuselage root tube and the fuselage. The heavy lift kit required me to burn a hole in the fabric in order to mount the kit between the rony bracket and the fuselage tube. |
 |
| We attached the lift struts to the wing, set up the connecting bolts in the rony brackets, and then brought the wing to the fuselage. |
 |
 |
 |
| Note that the plane readily stands with only one wing attached. None of the nuts need to be tightened at this stage and indeed, I did not until the jury struts were installed. |
