Step 1

Take item "F1a" (sheet 6) and place it on 
a flat surface with the markings 
uppermost.

Note that the recess for the motor is 
intentionally angled to give the model 
right thrust.

Glue the 2 items "F1b" (sheet 6) into the 
slots in the TOP of "F1a" using 1 spot of 
CA where shown.
Ensure no glue enters the slot at the front 
of "F1a". This is where the motor will slide 
into position.

Step 3

Step 2

Glue item "F3" (sheet 3) to the 
back of the assembly made in 
Step 1.

Note that 2 of the slots in "F3" are 
left empty. These are used later.

1 spot of CA 

Ensure no glue enters this slot.

Turn "F1a" over and glue the 2 
items "F2" (sheet 6) into the slots in 
"F1a"
Ensure no glue enters the slots 
between "F1a" and "F1b".
