3. Using two fiberglass hatch strips and medium CA, glue
two of the strips onto the sides of the hatch as shown in the
photo. Note that the strips have been trimmed so that they
are 1/4" from the edges of the hatch. Be sure to sand the
areas to be glued and clean them with a paper towel and
rubbing alcohol.

two of the strips onto the fuselage as shown in the photo.

5. The hatch is installed in the fuselage by squeezing the
sides and catching the side strips along the sides of the
fuselage opening. The two strips glued onto the fuselage
maintain the curvature of the hatch while the two pieces on
the hatch hold it in the opening. When complete the hatch
should fit evenly and securely. Small pieces of clear tape can
also be used on the leading and trailing edge of the hatch to
hold it more securely.

6. Install the tail gear wire onto the fuselage using two
2.5mm x 9.5mm flanged Phillips head screws as shown in
the photo above. Drill 1/16" [1.6mm] pilot holes for the
screws. Harden the holes with thin CA.
❏
7. Mount the 25mm tail wheel with a 2mm wheel collar
and set screw.
❏
8. Finalize the installation of the radio system by
mounting the speed control and the mini-receiver in the
fuselage with hook and loop strips as shown in the photo
above. Plug the servos and speed control into the receiver.
Use a 6" [153mm] servo extension wire for the aileron servo.

9. Mount the switch through the fuselage side as shown
❏
10. Route the receiver antenna through the fuselage side
or bottom using a strain relief. Secure the antenna at the
rear of the fuselage with a piece of clear tape.

1. Use scissors or a sharp hobby knife to cut the decals
from the sheet.
❏
2. Be certain the model is clean and free from oily
fingerprints and dust. Prepare a dishpan or small bucket with
a mixture of liquid dish soap and warm water–about one
teaspoon of soap per gallon of water. Submerse the decal in
the soap and water and peel off the paper backing. Note:
Apply the Decals
