Identify all the parts:
You’ll need to know which part is which, unless you want to end up with the
flying equivalent of Frankenstein’s Monster. So, let’s start by taking a look at
what you’ve got here.
a) Foam Airplane Parts:
(1) Fuselage halves (Left and Right)
(2) Fuselage Center
(3) Horizontal Stabilizer
(4) Elevator
(5) Rudder
(6) Wings (2)
(7) Wing Support Ribs (6)
And of course even a foam plane needs a few odds and ends to tie
everything together. Take a few moments to inspect what you’ve got here.
As the items are called for you’ll get more info on their intended uses.
b) Non-Foam Parts:
i)
Plastic Control Horns (Included)
ii) .032 Wire for Pushrods
iii) Wood for Motor Mounting (Depends on which motor type)
Let’s Begin:
1) Note: It is much easier to decorate the pieces BEFORE assembling them,
so think about your color scheme now. Also, if you’re thinking of adding
landing gear, it will be much simpler to do it during the assembly process
than afterwards. (See Appendix Section, “Landing Gear”)
