Lanier R/C
Sukhoi SU 31M
Instructions
Measure from the bottom edge of the sheet
forward 11” and draw a line. Measure up from
that point 3-1/4” and make a mark. At the rear
edge measure up 1-1/4”. Draw a straight line
between the two marks. Measure in at the
center of the 15-1/2” sheet ½”. Draw an arc
between this mark and the end of your line at
the 11” point. Cut along this line for the
cockpit cut out.
Make a left and right sheet. Take a sanding
block and very lightly knock the edge off the
inside corner of the sheet along the bottom
where it will come in contact with the hatch
floor.
Put wax paper under the hatch floor and at
the front and rear of the hatch.
Apply white glue to all the stringers and
bulkheads except the middle one. Run a
bead of thick CA along the edge of the hatch
floor at the top of the fuselage and tape the
sheet in place. Apply a bead of thick CA
along the outside edge of the center stringer
and wrap the sheeting into place. Hold with
masking tape till dry. Repeat for the other
side.
Cut two pieces of 1/16” x4”x2-1/2”and glue to
the top of the instrument panel on each side
of the offset on top. Cut pieces to fit the off
set and glue in place. Cut another piece to fit
across the back with the shape of the hatch
top.
You can now paint the instrument panel but it
will not be installed till after the plane is
covered.
