B.1 Assembly Notes
The following represents the plans for building of the cockpit kit. The cockpit kit
is made of vacuum formed plastic which can be assembled using any of the
various types of CA glues or epoxy. Color notes as well as picture references
are provided for your convenience.
Remove the plastic parts by using a sharp Xacto knife to score the material.
Typically, two passes will score the plastic enough to remove the part. If it is not,
score the material as required and carefully remove the part. Be careful as the
plastic will tear if the score is not deep enough, so keep this in mind.
Build the various assemblies using CA glue. Where higher strength is needed,
use epoxy. When mounting the cockpit into the aircraft, it is recommended that
the cockpit be part of the canopy hatch such that it vacates the airplane when the
canopy hatch is removed. This will maintain easy access into the front cockpit
compartment. Additionally, it is recommended that the cockpit be removable
from the canopy as well for easy maintenance.
The following are the paint colors recommended as labeled on the following
drawings. Any type of plastic model paint is sufficient. It is recommended that a
primer be sprayed over the parts prior to painting any of the paint colors.
Additionally, commercially available instrument placards are recommended for
use on the instrument panel.
