Shock Cord in this kit, rather than nylon, there
is no need to wrap the GLR Kevlar® Shock
Cord with masking tape.
INSERTING THE GLR Hard-Point Recov-
ery System Anchor INTO THE AIRFRAME
IS TRICKY. READ THESE NEXT STEPS
THOROUGHLY TO UNDERSTAND THE
PROCEDURE BEFORE ATTEMPTING
TO COMPLETE IT.
7. Once the GLR Acme FinCan and GLR
Hard-Point Recovery System Anchor are pre-
pared and the epoxy is fully cured, you must in-
sert the GLR Hard-Point Recovery System An-
chor into the airframe as follows:
You are pro-
vided a glue stick dowel. Do not snap it or oth-
erwise alter the length because it serves as a
measuring guide.
Measure the dowel and make
one mark on the dowel
at 12” and one mark on
the dowel at 11”
. You may also mark the air-
frame from the forward open as well.
Mix a
small amou
nt of J.B. Weld (do not use epoxy).
With one hand, hold the airframe horizontally.
With the other hand, dip the glue stick into the
mixed J.B. Weld and insert the glue stick into
the FORWARD opening of the AFT airframe
UNTIL THE LINE ON THE END YOU ARE
HOLDING IS FLUSH WITH THE FORWARD
END OF THE AIRFRAME (the end OPPO-
SITE the GLR Acme FinCan). Apply J.B.
Weld in a ring to the interior of the airframe.
The ring of J.B. Weld
should coat the internal
circumference of the airframe from the 11” to
the 12” mark from the forward end of the air-
frame.
It is important to avoid getting the J.B. Weld on
other areas inside the airframe, so do the best
you can. You will be able to clean up some
later. Repeat the procedure as necessary until
you have a full-solid ring of J.B. Weld inside
the airframe from the 11”- 12” mark. Remove
glue stick and clean off the J.B. Weld from your
glue stick.
Before the J.B. Weld cures within the airframe,
insert the GLR Hard-Point Recovery System
Anchor through the FORWARD end of the air-
frame, Hold the GLR Kevlar® Shock Cord and
insert the GLR Hard-Point Recovery System
