4. Assembling the Dirigible
Step
4.1
Remove the
bottom rib (21), top rib
(22)
and
frame ribs (23-28)
and remove
cutouts. Attach each ring to the bottom
rib, starting with (23) on the left and
continuing to (28) on the right. Once the
rings are in place, attach the top rib to
the top notch of each ring so that it
mirrors the bottom rib.
4.2
Remove
mounting peg (29)
, and
mounting ring (30)
and remove cutouts.
Push the mounting peg through
frame
rib (25)
, through the balance arm
assembly, through the mounting circle,
and into
frame rib (26)
. Glue the
balance arm and mounting circle where
they shoulder up to each other.
4.3
Install the motor & wire assembly next, starting by snugging the wires into each of
the tower tips as shown. At the dirigible frame, fish the wires through
frame rib (25)
and
(24)
, and insert the motor into the hole of
frame rib (23)
. The motor will stick
out the back of the dirigible just enough so that the propeller just clears the rear of
the airship.
4.4
While supporting the rear of the motor, firmly press
the propeller onto the motor shaft, just like you did in
step 2.5.
Remember, a propeller installed backwards
still works, but at a much reduced efficiency.
