The ON / OFF switch can be installed in either side of the fuselage: remove the 
switch bezel, fit the switch through the opening in the fuselage from the inside, then 
fit the bezel and the two retaining screws from the outside to secure it. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The canopy 

 
Before trimming the canopy you will need to attach the wing to the fuselage: join the 
panels using the steel joiner rod, then fix the wing to the fuselage using the rubber 
bands supplied in the kit. 
Cut out the canopy along the marked lines using a small pair of scissors (Lexan 
shears, Order No. 26), and trim it carefully to fit. 
The canopy can be fixed to the fuselage using either two pan-head self-tapping 
screws or strips of tape. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The final step is to apply the decals in the arrangement shown in the kit box 
illustration and on the title page of the assembly instructions.
