Step 5: Plastic support members

First take the longest of the support members. There should be four of them provided with your

kit. Glue in place as below. Note the position of each of the pieces. Again, none are identical so

take this into account. The smooth side of each piece should face outwards.

Flip the plane over and secure with the following plastic parts. Again, note that these are not all

identical, but their correct locations should be fairly obvious.

Flip the plane back over and install the final two plastic members. These attach directly to the

fuselage.
