out the slots if it is too tight. Once satisfied with the fit,
remove the wire from the slots. Apply a couple of drops of
oil to the wire where it passes through the nylon bearings.
This will prevent glue from getting onto the wire. Apply
epoxy to the nylon tabs and then install the tailwheel wire
into the fuselage.

10. Cut the covering from the front of the balsa triangle
tail block. Cut the covering from the back of the fuselage
where the block will be glued to the fuselage. Test fit the
block over the landing gear wire. Make adjustments to the
slot in the block as needed. Glue the block to the fuselage.
Be careful not to get glue on the wire.

11. Cut the covering from the hole on the leading edge,
bottom of the rudder. Test fit the hinges into the rudder and
then fit the rudder to the fin and fuselage. Make any
adjustments that may be needed to the slot in the rudder.
When you are satisfied everything fits well, put a small
amount of epoxy into the hole in the rudder, install the
hinges in the rudder and install the rudder to the fin.

1. Attach the lower wing to the fuselage with the 1/4-20
nylon bolts.

2. Locate eight metal cabane mounting brackets. The
photograph identifies the correct bracket for the top and
bottom wing. Set the four brackets for the top wing to the side.
We will be installing the brackets on the bottom wing first.
Do the right wing first so your work matches the photos
the first time through.

3. Look closely on the top of the bottom wing and you
will find a small pin hole locating the blind nuts for the
cabane mounting bolts. Cut the covering from each of the
