hubs
are
provided
that
are
to
slip
over
the
brass
tubing
as
shown.
Alternatively,
gluing
an
additional
½”
square
piece
of
scrap
1/8”
balsa
with
a
hole
drilled
in
the
center
can
be
substituted.
Next,
CA
glue
the
neoprene
cording
together
to
from
a
“tire”.
Use
thin
CA
sparingly
as
the
CA
bonds
very
aggressively
to
the
rubber.
Press
the
CA
wetted
ends
together
for
an
instant
bond.
The
best
way
to
align
the
ends
is
to
glue
them
while
they
are
in
place
on
the
wheel.
Then
attach
the
tires
to
the
wheels
and
CA
in
place.
A
thin
bead
of
CA
around
the
rim
makes
for
a
secure
tire.
Paper
cones
are
cut
out.
Use
a
ball
point
pen
to
score
each
line
on
the
back
to
make
an
impression
of
“spokes”
It
is
helpful
to
do
this
operation
on
a
paper
tablet
so
that
the
pen
makes
a
good
crease.
Fold
the
paper
along
the
crease
lines
to
exaggerate
the
raised
lines.
One
of
the
sections
forming
a
wedge
is
cut
out.
Make
cuts
to
the
center
of
the
circle
along
a
pair
of
the
spokes.
Close
the
paper
cutout
to
form
a
cone
and
tape
the
joint
inside
the
cone.
The
inside
cones
may
now
be
attached
to
the
wheels.
The
outside
cones
may
be
attached
at
this
point
if
wheel
collars
are
to
be
used.
Alternatively,
after
installing
the
wheels
on
the
landing
gear,
a
washer
may
be
soldered
to
hold
the
wheel
in
place
and
then
the
cone
is
attached.
This
method
makes
a
very
nice
scale
appearance.

It
is
as
well
to
get
the
bulk
of
your
R/C
gear
fitted
at
this
stage,
and
also
the
motor.
Battery
Tray
After
all
the
above
has
been
placed,
mount
the
battery
tray
and
use
the
battery
position
to
balance
the
model
as
shown
on
the
plan.
ASSEMBLY
WING
Using
Locating
Dowels
and
Aligning
Wing
Panels
The
first
task
is
to
epoxy
the
lower
wings
accurately
onto
the
fuselage.
Use
5
‐
minute
epoxy
for
this
task.
Apply
epoxy
to
the
wing
rib
that
meets
the
fuselage.
Attach
the
wings
to
the
fuselage.
Use
the
locating
dowels
to
assist
with
aligning
the
wing
panels.
Allow
epoxy
to
set.
After
the
lower
wings
are
attached,
the
struts
are
inserted.
The
top
wing
is
added
and
epoxied
in
place.
The
triangular
formers
aid
in
getting
the
wing
incidence
accurately
placed.
Fitting
Tail
Surfaces
Slip
the
control
horns
onto
the
wire
pushrod
ends
and,
with
both
the
servos
and
the
control
surfaces
centered,
glue
the
horns
into
their
slots.
Fitting
the
Rigging
Posts
and
Guy
Wires
Use
strong
thread
or
Kevlar
fishing
line
or
elastic
beading
cording
to
simulate
rigging
wires.
Use
small
screws,
fishing
hook
eyes,
straight
pinheads
or
small
eyelets
to
attach
the
lines
to
the
mounting
crosspieces
placed
in
the
wing
during
assembly.
While
not
technically
required
these
wires
can
add
a
degree
of
strength
to
your
model
