(3) Attach the rear fairing of the operator's cupola to the hatch
assembled in step 3 B (4). Chamfer the rear edge of the hatch to
give a larger bond area.
A
Attach the wings to the fuselage.
B
(4)Put the hatch in position in the
fuselage, with the rear edge of the hatch attached to the
fuselage and the forward edge of the hatch resting on the ledge,
on the top of the mirror.
(5) Drill holes in the end of the boom telescopic section and in the
rear end of the boom rear section. Make the holes the same
diameter as the wire you intend to use as a pin, and bond one
end of the pin into the boom telescopic section.
(6) Drill further holes in the rear end of the boom telescopic section
and in the forward face of the nozzle, then pin and bond the
nozzle to the boom telescopic section.
C
If the model is to have the boom retracted:
(1) Attach the rear fairing of the operator's cupola in place on the
fuselage skin (refer to the main colour scheme drawings for the
correct position), then attach the fixed section of the operator's
cupola in place, with the two sections touching.
(2) Discard the mirror and the boom telescopic section.
(3) Drill a hole in the rear end of the boom rear section, (the
diameter of the hole to match the pin on the nozzle), and bond
the nozzle to the boom rear section.
D
Bond the formation lights and drogue fairing in place.
E
Attach the boom
(1) Fit the boom into the pivot fairing - attach the pivot fairing to the
fuselage with 5 minute epoxy (MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO NOT
GET ANY ADHESIVE ON THE PIVOT OF THE BOOM - IT
SHOULD MOVE AT THIS STAGE).
(2) When the epoxy cement which attaches the boom pivot fairing
has set, put the boom in the desired position and glue it in this
position with super glue.
(3) Attach the boom telescopic section to the boom rear section if
required..
(4) Attach the pivot fairing doors in position (open if the boom is
extended, closed if the boom is retracted).
Put the wing attachment block into
the cutout in the fuselage. and attach the wings.
Ft the engine sub-assemblies into the sockets in the under side of the
wing and cement them in place.
