Construction
(continued)
42.
Align and bond parts M1, M2 (sheet 07/08, 1/18 in. balsa), M3, M4 (sheet 06/08, 1/16 in
balsa), and M5 (sheet 07/08, 1/8 in. balsa), in order from the
bottom up
. Ensure that the
arrows on each part point in the same direction.
Pro Builder Tip:
We painted the motor on our display model a dark green to match the
color applied to Ford car engines.
43.
Fit and bond a 1/16 in. x 1/4 in. aluminum tube into each of the exhaust stack holes in M4,
and to the hole in the corner of M5. Bond the tubes to the scale engine assembly, with CA.
Final Assembly
Covering
1.
Use a high-quality, lightweight, iron-on covering material. We recommend AeroLITE
TM
,
available from
stevensaero.com
. Cover the tail surfaces and wheel covers on both sides.
Paint the cabane struts, landing gear, and flying struts to match the chosen color scheme.
2.
Fuselage -
Cover the
top
and
sides
of the fuselage. Cover the
bottom
of the nose. Leave
the rest of the fuselage
bottom
uncovered.
3.
Wing Bottom -
Paint the
bottom
of the wings to match the chosen color scheme (optional).
Do not cover the
bottom
of the wings - this will degrade the flight performance of the model.
4.
Wing Top -
Cover the
top
of the wing panels and center section.
5.
Trim -
Apply any trim details at this time. An optional trim package including AeroLITE
covering film and pre-cut vinyl “N” Numbers is available from
stevensaero.com
.
