COVERING
Any
lightweight
covering
material
can
be
used.
Polyspan
makes
a
good
choice
Litespan
is
also
popular.
Decals
are
available
to
download
on
AerodromeRC
website:

WHEELS
Gluing
the
ply
sides
on
the
¼
“balsa
core
makes
the
basis
for
the
wheels.
Use
the
brass
hub
for
alignment.
Epoxy
the
hubs
in
place
and
add
a
sufficient
amount
of
epoxy
around
the
base
of
the
hub
to
reinforce
the
connection
of
the
hub
to
the
ply.
Plywood
reinforcing
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
cut
‐
out
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.
INSTALLING
THE
RADIO
CONTROL
GEAR
Servo
Bay
It
is
as
well
to
get
the
bulk
of
your
R/C
gear
fitted
at
this
stage,
and
also
the
motor,
but
NOT
the
battery
pack.
Mounting
Motor,
Radio
Location
And
Electronic
Speed
Control
The
motor
mounts
should
be
placed
as
shown
in
the
plan
for
proper
right
and
down
thrust.
Use
small
pieces
of
bass
or
spruce
to
cap
them
and
serve
as
screw
mounts.
Battery
Tray
After
all
the
above
has
been
placed,
mount
the
battery
tray
and
use
the
battery
position
to
balance
the
model
as
shown.
ASSEMBLY
Wing
The
first
task
is
to
epoxy
the
wings
accurately
onto
the
fuselage.
Use
5
‐
minute
epoxy
for
this
task.
Using
Locating
Dowels
And
Aligning
Wing
Panels
Apply
epoxy
to
the
wing
rib
that
meets
the
fuselage.
Attach
the
wings
to
the
fuselage.
Use
the
locating
dowels
and
both
RAG’s
to
assist
with
aligning
the
wing
panels.
Prop
up
the
wing
tips
by
the
amount
over
level
indicated
on
the
plan.
CA
glue
the
spars
to
a
section
of
1/8”x3/8”
bass
that
spans
the
inside
of
the
fuse.
This
procedure
joins
the
two
wing
halves
together.
Allow
epoxy
to
set.
Fitting
Tail
Surfaces
The
elevator
is
epoxied
on
the
fuse
as
indicated
on
the
plan.
The
rudder
is
hinged
on
a
1/16”
music
wire
post
that
is
connected
to
the
tailskid
assembly.
Take
care
to
CA
the
wire
in
place
after
the
rudder
and
brass
tubing
are
in
place.
The
end
of
the
music
wire
connected
to
the
tailskid
should
be
wrapped
with
Kevlar
or
Nylon
thread
and
epoxied
in
place.
