A few tips from a friend:
Apart from the nuts securing the rubber silent blocks, Loctite thread Locker 243
or equivalent should be applied on all screws and nuts before tightening. This kind
of nut with nylon ring must be used only once and have to be replaced if taken
out.
Torqueing norms for the airframe are:
-6mm screws 1kgm
-8mm screws 2,5kgm
Except screws going through tubes, in this cases, just torque to apply surfaces in contact
and take care to never put the tubes out of shape.
For the engine, refer to the manufacturer’s manual.
References to the parts are of two kinds:
with three digits, they refer to a pre-assembled unit
ex:
101
Keel front part
with six digits, they refer to a sub-unit
ex:
101.124
Leading edge fitting plate
Screws, pins and axles fitted vertically are installed with their heads up
those fitted horizontally, parallel to the keel axis are installed from front to back (head
forward).
refer to the drawing sheets to visualize the stages of assembly.
