OPTIONAL:
When you get to the ailerons, elevators
and rudder, puncture three or four pinholes through the
covering on the bottom of those surfaces between each
of the braces or “ribs.” This will allow heated, expanding
air to escape so the covering will tighten. These pinholes
may appear obtrusive at fi rst, but when the covering is
heated the pinholes virtually disappear. Heat the side of the
covering without the pinholes fi rst.

4. Stack a few paper towels on top of each other and cut
them into small squares. These small paper towel squares
come in handy for dabbing up excess CA or wiping up
epoxy when dampened with denatured alcohol.

NOTE:
All machine-thread screws that thread into
metal (hex nuts, blind nuts, wheel collars, etc.) should
be lightly wetted with threadlocker.

NOTE:
The procedure for preparing the holes in
wood for all wood screws is as follows:
A. Drill the hole with the drill specifi ed in the step.
B. Install, then remove the screw to form “threads” in
the hole.
C. Add a drop or two of thin CA to harden the hole.
D. Allow the CA to harden, then install the screw(s)
with the hardware that is being mounted/installed/
attached (servos, control horns, etc.).
