# Cover trailer corners and floor with carpet.
# Pull out the ramp, ensuring the pins engage in the slots at the end. Place the two securing bolts in the holes above these pins to stop the ramp popping out.
# Secure the ramp in the '''upright (raised) ''' position using the red pin.
# Move wings out horizontally to the edge of the trailer to provide more fuselage clearance.
# Undo the strap that holds the tail down (this may not be attached when the trailer is parked).

Always rig with the right wing first (this has the fork). Person 1 is the person in charge of the rig.
# When ready, both people rotate the wing so that it is flat, and ready to slide into the fuselage.
# Person 1 places spar in hole in fuselage. '''Make sure that the fuselage doesn’t wobble'''.
# Both slide the wing in. '''Make sure that the control rods slide into the holes and don’t catch on the fuselage'''. Person 1 may have to instruct person 2 on whether they need to move the wing forwards/backwards/up/down so that it slides in flush. Make sure the gap between the wing is uniform and about 5-10mm5mm.# Person 1 places a trestle just outboard of the silver slide on the wing, being careful not to put the trestle on the aileron. Person 2 can relax.
=== Connecting the port wing (left) ===
Repeat as for the starboard wing, except place the trestle at the tip. Check again that the wing/fuse gaps are even and haven't changed with the second wing going in. See picture for recommended trestle locations.
=== Inserting the main pins ===
