Extreme Flight YAK-54 ARF, Instruction Manual

54. The canopy is retained by the 2 4mm bolts and bonded sealing
washers. Before flying the Yak run a bead of RC-56 canopy glue all
along the intersection of the canopy and its wood frame, front and
back and both sides. This glue dries clear, is water soluble and is easy
to clean up. Allow to dry overnight.
54. The wings are retained by inserting the 1/4x20 nylon bolts through
the holes in the fuselage just behind the wing tube and into the pre-
installed blind nuts in the root rib of the wing. Be careful not to cross
thread the bolts and inspect them periodically to insure thread integrity.
This completes the assembly of the 88 inch Yak. As a final step I
recommend you clean the entire aircraft with glass cleaner, then apply a
coat of spray-on wax and buff the finish to a high gloss. My favorite
product for this is Eagle One Wet Wax AS-U-DRY, available in the
automotive section of most Wal-Marts, K-marts, Sears, Targets, etc.
People often ask me at trade shows how I get the planes to look so shiny-
this is my secret. You may wish to apply all of your graphics before
applying the coat of wax. The wax helps to protect the covering and
paint and makes clean up easy, as oil residue can simply be wiped away.
