Cockpit Braces
As shown on the plans and in the
photographs of our models, the forward
cockpit, at the windshield, has two
aluminum tube braces forming a V at
the top of the instrument panel. The top
ends of these tubes fit into the corners
at the inside top of the cockpit wing
fairing, against F-4.
These braces offer support to the top of the cockpit area
and also add a believable look to the pilot's office. From
your kit contents locate the two 3/32" dia. x3" aluminum
tubes.
These have been cut oversize and must be trimmed to
length. Confirm the exact cutting length for these tubes by
first using scrap pieces of 1/16" balsa sticks held in place.
Once you have the exact size, use a single edge razor
blade to cut the tubes to length. Sand the ends a little,
angling them to a point. Apply a little 5-minute epoxy to
each end and press them firmly in place.
