Wing Assembly
1. The wing of the F-4 is composed of
several parts. Main wing (1 piece), wing
tips (2), and the ailerons (2). You will
need to install the carbon fiber rod that is
included in your kit. Do so by applying
a strip of masking tape over the pre-cut
slot on the TOP SIDE of the wing.
2. Flip the wing over. Pour epoxy into
the slot the entire length of the channel,
making sure you have plenty of epoxy.
Press the carbon fiber rod into the slot.
Epoxy will ooze out of the channel. Use
alcohol to wipe away excess epoxy
before it cures, making sure the carbon
fiber rod is completely embedded. Let
dry and remove tape.
Your carbon fiber rod should go from
end to end.
Fuselage Assembly
1. You will need the two fuselage sides
you prepared earlier and the three (3)
bulkheads. Attach to one side the
bulkheads at the points indicated in the
pictures. The smaller bulkhead attaches
at the nose, the next size bulkhead with a
centered hole assembles just behind the
canopy section, and the third bulkhead,
with the off set hole goes at the furthest
point rearward in the main fuselage
body. The hole should be oriented
towards the top of the plane. Use epoxy.
Refer to pictures below. The placement
of the forward bulkhead and the rear
bulkhead should be flush with the
fuselage side.
