Fuselage (continued)
33.
Install the propellor (EFL9051) to the output shaft of the gearbox. The propeller simply threads onto
the end of the shaft. Grasp the gearbox output shaft just inside of the threads then work the
propeller onto the threaded portion of the shaft.
34.
Optional graphics and pilot figure(s).
If you have purchased the optional color decal set,
apply the pilot figure graphics to the right and left of the plywood “P” profile pilot included with your
decals. Repeat this for the co-pilot “CP” bird. Mount the pilot within the fuselage cockpit, aligning
the pilot part at the tab and notch locations. The co-pilot bird figure mounts on top of the cabane
assembly as illustrated. Complete the model with the remaining racing numbers, markings, and
patches.
35.
Wing struts and optional rigging.
Create the
right
and
left
wing struts from the provided 12 in.
length of .030 in. carbon rod. Cut the carbon rod into two equal lengths of 5 3/4 in. Install one
each carbon rod wing struts passing through the elongated hole on the
rear
landing gear strut part
LG4 and then up through the
rear
most hole cut into wing rib W3. Friction of the fit of the carbon
wing strut to fuselage will hold these struts in position and will allow you to eliminate any twist in your
wings, later lock the wings into a straight and true position using CA glue.
Prior to bonding the carbon wing struts into position, inspect your wing assemblies for signs of warp
or twist. Sight the wings from both the profile and directly behind the model looking for signs of
twist. Ideally your wing will assemble without a twist, a bit of wash-out twist (trailing edge of wing
exhibits a slight 1/16-1/8 inch rise towards wing tip) is acceptable so long as both the
right
and
left
wing panels feature equal amounts of wash-out. Wash in, which places the leading edge of the wing
tip lower than the root, is unacceptable and should be eliminated.
With the wings set straight (or washed-out) and equal. Lock the position of the struts and wing in
place by bonding at the point of attachment for the wing strut.
Optional rigging. Use sewing thread or silk thread (not supplied with the model) to apply the “scale”
rigging details to the wing. The rigging points are marked on the detail sheets. Follow the guidance
on the detail sheets to complete the rigging making your 1911-1/2 Nieuport ToonScale
