Installing the servo tray
❑
4. Mix 1/8oz. (3.5ml) of 6-minute epoxy to glue the
servo tray into the fuselage. Note the direction of the
servo tray before installing. The single servo cut-out is
positioned toward the nose of the plane. Apply epoxy to
all fuselage parts that will come in contact with the servo
tray. Install the plywood servo tray into the fuselage with
the switch cut out facing the front of the plane.
Installing the wing dowels
❑
5. The wing dowel holes are predrilled. Locate the
four round holes, two on each side of the fuselage,
and remove the covering over each hole.
Caution: Do
not cut-out the rectangular switch holes in the side of
the fuselage. Insert both 5" wooden dowels so that
they protrude equal amounts on both sides. Mix
1/4oz. (7.5ml) of 30-minute epoxy to lightly seal the
dowels that are protruding from the outside of the
fuselage. This will keep fuel from soaking into the
wooden dowels. With the remainder of the epoxy,
secure the dowels in place by applying epoxy on the
dowel from the inside of the fuselage next to the
fuselage wall.
Wing dowels installed
❑
6. The front wing dowel should measure
approximately 5/8" (15.5 mm) on each side of the
fuselage. The rear dowel should measure
approximately 3/4" (19mm) on each side. These wing
dowels along with #64 rubber bands will be used to
hold the wing in place.
Constructing the tail section
❑
7. Locate the horizontal stabilizer slot under the
covering on the tail section of the fuselage by pressing
lightly with your finger. The slot will be located on
both sides of the tail. Using a hobby knife, carefully
remove the covering exposing the slots.
Note: Do not
cut into the balsa wood sheeting around the slot.
