WING STRUT INSTALLATION

 Installation of the wing struts is advised. Testing was conducted
without the wing struts, however, there is a considerable
improvement in wing rigidity with the struts fitted.
 Refer to checking the blind nuts on Page 5
before installing the screws.
6. Fit the wing strut to the fuselage. Secure the strut using an M3 x 10
socket head cap screw and M3 washer. Leave the screw slightly
loose.
 Place a drop of canopy glue on the screws before
installation. This will keep the screws from vibrating
loose yet leave them easily removable if necessary.
7. Secure the strut to the wing using an M3 x 15 socket head cap
screw and M3 washer. Once attached, tighten the screw at the
fuselage and wing using a 2.5mm hex wrench.
 Refer to checking the blind nuts on Page 5
before installing the screws.

WING SLAT INSTALLATION

 The installation of the leading edge slats is optional.
While they do improve the STOL capability, they can
detract from the aerobatic performance. The Timber 110
will perform well with and without the slats fitted.
1. Remove the covering from the top of the leading edge of the wing
for the leading edge slat tabs.
 Only remove as much covering as required for the leading edge
slats to fit. It is possible to remove too much covering and leave
an unsightly slot of bare balsa even when the slats are installed.
 Use a covering iron to shrink the covering along the leading edge of
the wing and the underside of the wing slat. Shrinking the covering
on the leading edge of the wing, and the inside face of the wing
slat, will be difficult once the wing slats have been installed.
2. Test fi t the leading edge slats to the wing. Trim the slots is
necessary. Remove the slats from the wing. The slats can be
installed using contact cement or 30-minute epoxy. Apply the
adhesive to the tabs and slots, then fi t the slats back to the wing.
Allow the adhesive to fully cure before proceeding.
 Using contact cement will allow removal of the slats at a later time.
