The locking of the cockpit canopy is carried out with a Ø 2 mm steel wire guided in a
plastic tube. This tube is attached with the locking pin pushed in. As described with
the hinge joints of the flaps, the tube should be adhered to the hull using a glass
fabric strip. Cut out the cockpit canopy along the mark, leaving a slight protrusion and
adapt it to the canopy frame/ hull.
Before adhering the cockpit canopy on the frame, it must be painted as desired The
cockpit instruments, etc. must also be adhered.
Now the cockpit canopy can be adhered. For this purpose, fasten the frame on the
hull by fastening the front to the hull with the GRP tongue and the rear with a locking
pin. The frame is adhered with the cockpit canopy using UHU ALL-PURPOSE
ADHESIVE Kraft Ord. No. 1096. These are transparent contact adhesives. Before
the adhesion, the hull seam must be applied to the cockpit canopy.
Apply adhesive all the way around on the frame, then position the cockpit canopy so
that the hull seam matches the markings and then remove it again. After the
adhesive has ventilated, place the cockpit canopy in its final position again, line it up
with the markings and press down all the way around. Then the edge of the cockpit
canopy can be painted.
The tailplane assembly
Corresponding to the specified measurement in the photo, cut a slot in the elevator
which extends to the upper covering The GRP control arm must be adhered so that
the attachment point of the steering linkage and the turning point of the rudder match.
The elevator servo is shrink-fitted in shrink hose and adhered in the opening in the
tailplane so that the steering linkage (M2 threaded rod with double elbow with M2
clevis and M2 counter nut) forms a right angle with the turning axis of the elevator.
