Evo Construction - Gluing

Getting the glue in the correct place

Your wing is now ready to fold and glue. Test fold the wing and make a mental note of where the glue should go on each surface - if the two wing halves overlap in the centre of the wing during this test fold then you may need to trim a small amount off them until they meet perfectly. When folded over, the wing should create a section with about a 25mm height at the highest point.

Remember that in the centre of the wing, the corners folded in will need the glue to follow the final 'M' shape of the trailing edge.

Apply the Evostik as per the instructions to both surfaces to be glued. Plenty glue is better than too little!. The bond made when folding the wing comes under quite a lot of pressure during flight and so should be as strong as possible.

You need a glue width of about 25mm to ensure a good and solid bond.
