their foam sheets. If using the gearbox included with this kit,
or any other type of “stick-mount” gearbox, cut out all four
sections from the fuselage parts. If using a firewall-
mounted, brushless outrunner motor, cut out only the
section from the lower vertical fuselage.

❏ 

2. Glue the 5.5 x 115mm [7/32" x 4-17/32"] 

fuselage

tube doubler 

over the 3 x 679mm [1/8" x 26-47/64"]

fuselage tube

. One end should be flush. From now on, this

assembly will be referred to as the fuselage tube.

❏ 

3. Slide a 

fuselage joiner

, two 

fuselage servo mounts

(F3)

, and another fuselage joiner onto the fuselage tube.

With the tube doubler forward, and the servo mounts
hanging down, the front servo mount should have its flat
surface on the right, and the rear servo mount should have
its flat surface on the left.

❏ 

4. Position the servo mounts and fuselage joiners so that they

align with the precut slots in the upper vertical fuselage half.

❏ 

5. Glue the fuselage tube to the upper vertical fuselage half.

❏ 

6. Glue the left and right horizontal fuselage halves to the

fuselage tube. Make sure they are perpendicular to the
upper vertical fuselage.

❏ 

7. Glue the stabilizer into position with the leading edge

of the stab butted against the rear fuselage joiner. Align the
notches in the stab with the fuselage tube.

❏ 

8. Glue the wing into position with the leading edge of the

wing against the rear end of fuselage doubler tube. Align the
notches in the wing with the fuselage tube.
