4...Use 5-minute epoxy to glue the
plywood Firewall,
(4) Cowl Mounts,
Servo Tray, Tailskid, and aluminum
Wing Tubes in place in the fuselage.
Be sure the firewall is seated snugly into
the recess molded in the front of the
fuselage. This provides built-in down
and right thrust to the motor.
Glue the servo tray in with the grain
running across the fuselage.
The wing tubes should stick out an
equal amount on each side of the
fuselage.
5...Use 3/4” wide 3M Scotch® Crystal Clear Tape to hinge
the tail surfaces. Apply a strip of tape to the top of the
Horizontal Tail and another strip on the bottom. Each tape
strip should be centered over the slot between the parts and
should run the full length of the slot. Do the same to both
sides of the Vertical Tail.
NOTE: 3/4” wide tape is available at most office supply
stores. Use only clear tranparent tape. Do not use frosted
Scotch® Magic Tape.
6...Use a sharp new hobby knife to trim the foam tabs and
excess tape from both ends of the horizontal tail and the top
and bottom of the rudder.
7...Use a small diameter dowel with a smooth rounded end,
or similar shaped object, to indent the tape on each side of
the tail surface until the two pieces of tape contact each other
in the middle of the hinge gap, creating the finished hinge.
8...Apply the fin decal to the unpainted side of the fin and apply the rudder decals to both sides of the rudder.
DECAL APPLICATION NOTES: The decals provided in this kit are a type of water transfer decal that you may not have used
before. They are extremely thin and light, and when they are on the model they look like they’re painted on. Notice that the decals
are printed on the paper carrier upside down. There is a thin clear plastic sheet over the decals that protects a low tack adhesive.
