Fuselage
Take the fully covered parts for the Fuselage and insert the 8mm (5/16”) dowels provided. Glue in place with
white wood glue or Cyano. Fit the wing to the Fuselage and hold in place with an elastic band so that it is
firmly seated, but able to move for adjustment. With a tape measure check that the Fuselage is square to
the wing as per the diagram. Ensure A1 = A2.
Insert the Tail Plane into its slot and check the measurement B1 = B2. Once satisfied that the Tail Plane is
square, mark with a pencil both top and bottom along the edge of the Fuselage. Remove the Tail Plane from
its slot and carefully cut 1.5mm (1/16”) on the inside of the line to remove the covering film from both the top
and bottom.
Take the Fin and insert into the slot. With a pencil mark along the Fuselage as with the Tail Plane, remove
the Fin and remove the covering from 1.5mm (1/16”) below the line.
!!!
Warning
. Only cut through the film while undertaking the tasks above,
do not
cut into the balsa as this will
weaken the Fin and may cause it to fail in flight!!!
Re-insert the Fin and make sure that the cut-out in the base of the Fin lines up with the Tail Plane slot.
Insert the Tail Plane to confirm. One satisfied with the fit, glue the Fin into position using epoxy on the base
where it joins to the Tail skid and Cyano or white wood glue at the junction with the top deck. Ensure that
the Fin is vertical, with the wing seated; also check that the Fin is at 90° by viewing it from the front.
