If the glue is cured, you have to glue in 

the batterie tray and the back former at 
the same time. Otherwise it’s not possible 

to slide in the battery tray into the 
rectangular cutouts in the front and back 

formers.

Sand the back former allong the outer 
shape and the glueing area from the 

fuselage before applying the glue.

Pay attention, the round hole must be 
placed at the front former side.
