Building Stand
A building stand or cradle comes in handy during the build. We
use the Robart Super Stand II (ROBP1402) for all our projects
in R&D, and it can be seen in pictures throughout this manual.
IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES
●
When you see the term
test fi t
in the instructions, it means
that you should fi rst position the part on the assembly
without using any glue
, then slightly modify or
custom
fi t
the part as necessary for the best fi t.
●
Whenever the term
glue
is written you should rely upon
your experience to decide what type of glue to use. When
a specifi c type of adhesive works best for that step, the
instructions will make a recommendation.
●
Whenever just
epoxy
is specifi ed you may use
either
30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy
or
6-minute epoxy. When
30-minute epoxy is specifi ed it is
highly
recommended that
you use only 30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy, because you
will need the working time and/or the additional strength.
●
Photos
and
sketches
are placed
before
the step they refer
to. Frequently you can study photos in following steps to
get another view of the same parts.
●
The stabilizer and wing incidences and engine thrust angles
have been factory-built into this model. However, some
technically-minded modelers may wish to check these
measurements anyway. To view this information visit the web
site at www.greatplanes.com and click on “Technical Data.”
Due to manufacturing tolerances which will have little or no
effect on the way your model will fl y, please expect slight
deviations between your model and the published values.
