8. Attaching Pod to Wing
33. Using a rag soaked with a bit of alcohol (denatured
or rubbing), clean bottom and top of wing in the vicinity where the pod will
attach. In addition, clean the covering material around the perimeter of the
pod's wing saddle. A hot glue fillet will be applied to this area, and thus the
surfaces should be free from grease to ensure a good bond.

34.
Feed the antenna wire from wing through the servo access hole in pod. Slide pod
onto wing and center it. Put a small dab of hot glue between the rear end of
the pod and the wing. Press pod against wing until glue sets.

35. To mount the
pod permanently to the wing, a fillet of hot glue will be applied around the
perimeter of the pod (see plans). This fillet will bond the pod to the wing. To
do this, run a small bead of hot glue around the perimeter of the pod, in the
corner between the wing and pod. Move the glue gun slowly while pressing the
nozzle into the corner. Try to apply an even stream of hot glue to the corner.
If you miss an area, you can always come back and re-apply glue. To finish the
fillet, run the heated nozzle back and forth along the fillet to shape it. Use
the hot-glue sparingly as it is heavy. Allow hot glue to cool and set.
