Step 1
Remove the fuselage from the trailer and raise the engine pylon. If applicable, raise the fuselage cradle and lower the landing gear. Place the one-person wing dolly adjacent to the fuselage so that it is ready to receive the right wing.

Step 2
Extract the right wing from the trailer, place it in the open cuff of the dolly and secure the holder latches.

Step 3
Lift the wing spar off its trolley post and reposition the spar back onto the post using the bushing hole furthest from the root rib.

Step 4
Lift the wingtip and swing the wing and rig outboard until 45° to the fuselage. Lift the spar off the trolley post, rotate the wing to horizontal, and insert the spar into the fuselage opening.

Step 5
Retrieve the wing dolly and place it at the wingtip between the tip wheel and end of the flaperon. Remove the one-person rig.

Step 6
Repeat the same procedure for the left wing. Adjust the
one-person rig height as necessary.

Step 7
Use the tapered alignment pin to align the spar bushings and then insert the steel spar pins. Secure the spar pins with the safety bolts and cap nuts.

Step 8
Insert the winglets into the bushings at the wing tips and tape the seams.

Step 9
Remove the horizontal tailplane from the trailer ceiling and slide it into position on the top of the vertical stabilizer.

Step 10
Insert the hex-head bolt and secure it using the socket wrench. Press down on the wrench to compress the spring retainer.

 

Step 11
Verify that the tabs of the spring retainer engage the flats on the bolt’s hex head. Cover the hole with the screw-on disc cap.

 

Step 12
After checking the engine bay and the powerplant, install and secure the center and upper access panels.

 

Step 13
If previously removed, adjust and secure the headrest as necessary.
