II. ASSEMBLY

II.A. GENERAL

Vacform parts are made from high impact polystyrene (HIPS) plastic. Vacform parts
should be glued to one another using solvent based ‘glue’. 3D printed parts should be
glued to one another and to vacformed parts using cyanoacrylate (Superglue or
equivalent) or 2-part epoxy.

II.B.1. OPTION: Install wheel wells:

Wheel wells should be installed prior to assembling fuselage halves and wings.
