Before we start, some info about adhesives:
The correct adhesive to use for most steps is either white
Hysol 9462 made by Loctite or white Aeropoxy made by BVM or
clear Vpoxy by BVM for faster setting time. These are very
strong epoxies which are thixotropic. This means that it will
not run – it stays where it is applied. A good use is for
hinges where regular epoxies can run away from the hinges
without you even knowing. It takes a bit longer to dry and
that is the reason for the construction sequence as you can
get busy on something else while the glue dries overnight. It
is also recommended that you use a proper dispensing gun and
long type mixing nozzles especially for hinges. You can buy a
complete kit with gun, nozzles and two cartridges of glue from
your dealer for about $ 80.
Construction:
1.
General.
1.1
Clean and inspect all parts. Inventory them against the
parts list and notify your dealer of any missing or
suspect parts BEFORE you begin assembly. If the paint
scheme you have chosen is glossy it is recommended that
you apply a coat of wax to painted parts to protect them
from dirt, glue, stains and finger prints during
construction. Vacuum or blow out the remnants of packing
materials or dirt that remained in the fuselage.
1.2
Assemble the aircraft to get a feel of it and to show it
off to your friends. Check that the fittings and spars
work nicely. Give affected areas a light sanding with
2000 sanding paper if necessary. This aircraft is all
about the landing gear so be prepared to spend a lot of
time and effort to get it to work correctly. I would
highly recommend the use of high quality pneumatic
valves.If you have all your equipment available place it
in the approximate places so that you can get an idea if
you will have CG problems later on.If the main landing
gear is difficult to get out of the wheel bays undo the
