6. Use the same way for combining strip 27 and support 28 with frame 29. Before you glue servo
support 31 between back frame bearings 30 please check whether your servo fits the hole. When
this is ready glue, front and back frame to the deck. Now plank both frames with strips no. 32 and
33. Begin from the middle of each frame to the left and right end. Glue parts 34 as head ledge on
the deck.
7. Now you need a bit time for the next steps. You will now fit the deck into the hull. It is necessary to
adapt the frames to the form of the hull. Press the deck into the edge. If everything fits perfect, first
glue only the deck to the hull giving ABS glue into the edge of the hull and laying the deck inside.
With adhesive tape, press the deck into the hull as shown on Fig. 7. Be sure that the deck lies deep
enough in the edge. At this moment, there must not be any strain, because the frames could shift to
the middle and shorten the place for the floors. During the drying time lay the hull with the deck side
down on the table that outcoming glue does not disturb the ship‘s side. When the glue is dry, fix the
frames with superglue to the hull.
8. Sand rubbing strake 35 at the outside before you glue it and give it three coats of sealer. Then glue
it. The strip has to stay 0,5 to 0,8 mm over the deck.
9. As shown on the plan the deck planking 36 and 37 must be glued on the deck. The planking strips
37 have to be ironed flat with a flat iron as shown on Fig. 9 after they were soaked in hot water.
Plank from the middle to the outside. Sand the complete planking carefully after the glue is dry. The
plan shows how to glue strip 39 to frame 38 under the marked line. Then plank the frame above the
strip with strips 40
10. Glue strips 41 on frame 38 as shown on Fig. 10. Then glue strips 42. Now glue the complete frame
into the hull. Fit engine base plate 43 into the hull but do not glue. Sand the edges oblique as shown
in Fig. 17 with part 65.
Without fig.
Glue the hatchway surrounding 52 from below on the engine base plate 43 and fit in the hatch. The
engine base plate 43 has to be planked with strips 54 and sanded properly. Give the plate two or
three coats of wood sealer, sand and glue in hull with „ruck-zuck“ or a similar cyano acrylit glue.

14. Push prop shaft tube 58 through the hole in the hull and complete it with shaft 59, shaft nut 60, pro-
peller 61, set collar 62, hose 63 and screw 64. Put the ready built steam engine Victor on its positi-
on and adjust the height of the shaft to the shaft of the steam engine. If necessary correct frame 38.
When the alignment is correct, glue the shaft tube into the hull and the frame with UHU plus acrylit.
Build up cockpit deck 65 with following parts: hatchway surrounding 66, hatch 67, stiffener 68 and
plan-king 69. For the next step, you need a servo extension lead and a thin string of approx. 50 cm.
Pull this string through the small bore in the deck, which was drilled in before and secure it with a
knot on the upper side of the deck. Under the deck, you fasten the servo extension cord to the string.
Now give wood- or epoxy glue on parts 28, 38, 41 and 42, pull the string with cord under the
strips 41 and 42 starboard and fix the deck. Burden the deck with weights until the glue is dry.
At the free end of the servo extension lead, fix also a string, which you fasten at the antenna wire.
Now you can pull the lead to the servo. The second servo extension lead you need for the rudder
servo. Pull it through the hole in frame 30 and secure it.
For the following steps, you need both bulwark strips 72. Round the upper edge. Use some epoxy
glue for the bulwark holders 21. Pay attention that no glue drops to the hull. Now press the bulwarks
on and fix them with superglue up to the front frame 25. At the front bevel both bulwarks that they fit
well and glue them with superglue Fit the bulwark parts 73 and 74. Round the upper edge and glue
them vertical on rear frame 29. Glue strips 75 around the whole bulwark with superglue.
15. Glue the rail 76 as shown in the figure and round it. Glue on blinds 77 and sand. Prepare bul-
wark sup-ports 78, paint them, but glue them only after the last painting of the deck on it.
