Four key notes:

1.    Before placing first and second foam tiedowns, place a small drop of super glue down to prevent the foam from sliding around the hook shank.

2.    After placing the poly wing in, put a drop of super glue in at base of wing to prevent the wing materials from pulling out.

3.    After both wings are in, fly is finished, brush out wing and trip to desired shape.

4.    Trim front foam edge to semi-rounded shape.
