Notes Before Beginning
Construction
Any references to right or left refers to
your right or left as if you were seated
in the cockpit.
CAUTION: Some people have
experienced allergic reactions when
exposed to epoxy or cyanoacrylate
glues. This is very rare. However, it is
extremely important that such glues,
and also paints, thinners and
solvents, be used with adequate
ventilation to carry fumes away.
To build good flying
models , you need a
good straight building
board. Crocked
models don't fly well!
The building board
can be a table, a
workbench, a reject
"door core" from the
lumber yard, or
whatever- as long as it
is perfectly flat and
untwisted. A 2ft.x6ft.
board is
recommended for the
Spacewalker.
Cover the top surface
of the building board
with a piece of
celotex-type wall
board or foam board,
into which pins can be
easily pushed. Don't
hesitate to use plenty
of pins during
assembly to hold
drying parts in their
correct position.
When pinning or
gluing parts directly
over the full-size
plans, cover the plan
with wax paper or
plastic kitchen wrap to prevent gluing the parts to the plans.
The balsa die-cut parts have identification numbers printed on them. The plywood die-cut parts do not. Use the "Key to Die-Cut
Birch Plywood Parts" and the "Key to Die-Cut Lite-Ply Parts", to mark the identification numbers on the corresponding plywood
and Lite-Ply parts.
Leave all the die-cut parts in the sheets until needed for construction. Remove pieces from the sheets carefully. If difficulty is
encounted, do not force the part from the sheet. Use a modeling knife to cut it free.
