- Page 8 F47 L/R Glue together lower wing sheeting F47, F48 (L/R) and secure with tape until dry. Optional: If the model is to be equipped with ailerons, insert aileron servo lead now and secure in servo bay F48 L/R with tape. Insert supports H3 to H10 into jig at rib positions.
- Page 9 Install servo tray F50 in wing and drill servo frame F44 with 1.5 mm. When wing is completed, attach servo tray to wing with screws F52. Glue wing tip F54 to end rib and secure with pins. Carefully sand completed outer wing panel and sand contour of wing tip flush with upper and lower sheeting.
- Page 10 Completing the Wing Note: Wing panels are shown complete with control surfaces. For version with aileron control connect servo leads of outer wing panel to servo leads of inner wing panel (solder, with or without connectors). Use tape to protect sheeting material against glue near contact surfaces of inner and outer wing panels, then glue together wing panels with 5- minute-epoxy and secure with pins.
- Page 11 Glue parts on top of each other in the order shown. Make sure to position parts in the nose section exactly on motor mount template S1; at the rear end of the fuselage R1, R4, R6, R8 and R10 are held in position by snake outers S2. R5, R7 and R9 are positoned by template S1 as well, top side is flush.

Sand until birch ply side panels touch the carbon tube. Glue in place tailpane support to underside of tailplane flush with rear edge.
- Page 15 Slide wing dowels R39 into bores in fuselage and support fuselage in templates S4. Slide carbon tube into fuselage and make sure that tube protrudes 30 mm into fuselage (see also step 50). Put together template S5 and support tail unit and carbon tube as shown. Check alignment of carbon tube, then glue into fuselage with 5 minute epoxy.
- Page 16 Adjust centre of gravity by moving the battery back and forth (secure with hook and loop tape) or by adding the required amount of ballast. The exact centre of gravity location can be determined after the first couple of flights. Have fun with your LT 200 Flex! 12 mm...
