Engine Firewall . 

 Especially if you are using a Gas engine or not using a soft mount system, 

we strongly suggest adding some gussets to the firewall area. Always use Epoxy for engine mount  
structures due it’s superior strength. Add the 1/2'” triangle balsa stock or similar together with an  
extra plywood gusset as shown in the photo below. This will prevent any de-bonding of the  
firewall areas.

 Hinge 

the 

control 

surfaces 

 

 
Hinging is a very simple matter. We recommend that you hinge all the control surfaces in 
two steps allowing the glue to dry between steps.  

 
There’s an important note about hinging the ailerons at the end of this section. 

 
Before you start gluing anything, test fit each control surface. Aileron to wing, elevator to 
stabilizer, rudder to fin/ fuse, with the hinges in place. Make sure the hinges go in the holes 
smoothly and that there is ample room for the hinge “knuckle” so there is no large gap
