3. If you intend to install a pilot figure now is the time. The Williams Bros. 2-5/8"
Sportsman pilot is cut down somewhat and will fit under the canopy. Glue it in
securely.

4. Clean the canopy on the inside with a tack rag to pick up all the dust particles.
Temporarily mount the Tank Cover, and turtledeck on the fuselage. Align the
Wing Cover and tape it in place. In order to get a good fit be sure the wing is
fastened at this time. Position the canopy and tape it temporarily in place. Now
apply QC-56 glue around the edges with a glue gun. Be neat. When cured
remove the tape and apply glue where the tape was. !/8" - 3/16" trim tape can be
applied over the joint to finish it off.

INSTALLING THE AIRBORN GEAR

1. The prototype Stinger 60 balanced at 30% of the wing with the components
located as shown on the plans. If built according to the plans you should be able
to mount your airborn components as shown and come close.

2. Mount the three servos on the servo rails with # 2 x 3/8" sht. mtl. screws.
Space them as shown on the plans. Makeup two pushrods as shown on the
plans. As stated these can be made from 5/16" dowel if necessary but maintain
the dimensions shown.

3. Add the 1/8" pieces made from scrap lite ply where the pushrods exit. The
elevator push rod requires one on each side of the fuselage. The rudder only on
the right side.

4. Install the pushrods and check for binding before gluing the turtledeck in
place.

5. Wrap the receiver and battery pack in foam to protect them from vibration and
shock. Place the fuel tank in the forward section proping it up with foam to the
position shown. Wedge pieces of foam rubber on either side to hold it in place.
Install the eigine and hookup the throttle servo to the engine carb. as shown on
the plans. Install the airborn switch in the fuselage just aft of F2 on the right
side.

FINAL FINISHING AND ASSEMBLY

1. Cover the wings, tail surfaces and fuselage with your favorite covering. We
used Coverite 21st Century film and painted the plastic with Hobbypoxy. Install
the hinges for the control surfaces. Do not use CA glue to hold them in place. It
will cause binding or might even glue the hinge tight. We recommend epoxy,
white glue, or you might even use Silicon Sealastic. All of them are good for that
purpose. Use sparsely to keep from getting in the hinge joint.
