4. Set the assembled panels on the base frame
assembly and align the center of the door to be
directly above the AFT marking on the base frame.
5. Loosely install bolts, fender washers and nuts to
attach the panels to the base frame using the
hardware provided. Do NOT tighten the bolts at
this time.
NOTE: There are eight holes, directly above the legs of the
baseframe, that bolts can NOT be fitted into because of the
leg hardware beneath. These holes should be plugged, do
NOT try to force a bolt into these holes.
6. Continue adjoining additional panels loosely
installing hardware in the mated vertical flanges
and in the horizontal flange to the base pan.
7. Continue until all of the lower radome panels are
in place.
8. Use small wedges to open a vertical seam wide
enough to install a good bead of silicone caulk.
Working from top to bottom apply Loctite to and
then firmly tighten all of the bolts in that seam
(smaller dual beads of caulking can be applied
from outside and inside if you prefer).
9. Clean excess caulking off of the flange area (inside
and out). The empty caulking tubes can be used
to clean off the excess caulk without scratching
the radome finish.
