23. Fill 3/16 in. diameter hole in battery hatch with a drop of medium CA glue then install one 3/16 in. diameter Neo.
Magnet to hole as illustrated below. Seat magnet only so that it is flush with the outside surface of the battery
hatch.
24. As magnets are polarized, attracting from one side and repelling when reversed, it is essential to identify the
proper polarity and install corresponding catch magnet without reversing it. Take a second Neo. Magnet and
allow it to “snap” itself to the previously installed catch magnet in the battery hatch. The magnet will
automatically flip to its attractive pole. Use a permanent marker to mark the outside surface of this magnet.
Remove the free magnet from the battery hatch and install within the fuselage catch assembly as illustrated with
the non-marked side exposed as illustrated below. Test the fit and function of your hatch. If satisfied that
you’ve correctly installed the second magnet to “attract” commit the part with CA glue.
25. Final Sand Fuselage. Using a sanding block or bar and fine grit sand paper lightly sand the fuselage and shape
as desired in preparation for covering with AeroFILM or AeroFILM Lite.
