5. Airbrakes
Attention!!!!!!!! Built up one right and one left airbrake!
First glue together the Airbrake housing from parts no. LK 1-3.
The cover will be glued in place later on after having installed the brakes.
Glue the pinewood spar LK1a on top of the parts LK 5+6.
Glue the plywood spacers LK11 onto the parts LK5-8 and put the housing together.
Attention! Take care that the predrilled holes are in axial alignment!
Check the space after having dried so the parts LK9+10 have to fit flush in to the housing and the
brakes should have a smooth running. Otherwise sand the gap in the housing or add spacers.
