11. Glue the bottom

motor mount doublers

into position —

work accurately here as the doublers help set the correct
motor right thrust.

❏

12. Now that most of the structure has been braced and

everything is pretty much “set,” temporarily lift the model off
the plastic sheet.

❏

13. Place the structure back down onto the plastic sheet. Split

one end of each of the the 1mm foam

brace reinforcements

and glue them into position where shown — it’s easiest to
position the reinforcement, then add a drop or two of thin CA
followed by a quick shot of accelerator.

❏

14. After all the reinforcements have been added you can

remove the assembly from the plastic sheet and throw the
sheet away.
