# Person 1 2 lifts the wing tip and slides the wing out of trailer (. '''mind Mind the wing on the pins on the fuselage and on the edge of the trailer''').# Once fully out, person 2 1 lifts the root and carries out it clear of the trailer.# Person 2 rotates the wing90 degrees so it is perpendicular to the fuselage.# Rotate When ready, both people rotate the wing so that it is flat, and place ready to slide into the fuselage.# Person 1 places spar in hole in fuselage (. '''make Make sure that the fuselage doesn’t wobble''').# Slide Both slide the wing in (. '''make Make sure that the control rods slide into the holes and don’t catch on the fuselage''').

Make sure the gap between the wing is uniform and about 5-10mm.# Once fully in, person 2 Person 1 places a trestle under just outboard of the silver slide on the tipwing, person 1 being careful not to put the trestle on the aileron.
