Assembling your model
1. This manual will help you assemble your
F-18E. Let’s start with the installation of
the main wing panels. Apply an even coat
of 5-minute epoxy to the slot for the car-
bon rod in the wing and fuselage and the
root of the wing panel.
2. Press the wing into position on the fuse-
lage side.
3. Check the alignment of the wing with
the fuselage and wipe off any epoxy that
squeezes out. A small amount of rubbing
alcohol on a paper towel works well.
4. Make sure to check the alignment on the
top of the wing to fuselage joint and wipe
off any excess epoxy. Hold in position until
the epoxy sets. Repeat this process for
the other main wing. We recommend that
you epoxy one wing panel at a time.
5. Plug in the servo connector and the wing
tip light. Please match the polarity. On the
servo connection, the orange wire match-
es with the white wire on the plug that
exits the fuselage.
