Step 8.
Firmly press the wing deck assemblies together.
Use
two large books to hold the pieces together flat against
the table. Again, be careful not to glue the assembly to the
table
.
Don’t remove books until glue is set.
Step 9.
Locate the channels cut into the right and left aft
fuselage pieces. These channels will be installed to the out
side.
The channel is represented by the dark area in the
above picture.
Test fit the aft fuselage pieces into place. They should
fit as pictured above. Don’t apply glue to the 1 inch by ½
inch servo slots. Glue the aft fuselage pieces into place.
Use two large books to hold the wing deck assembly flat
against the table as shown above
. This is very important.
If not used the deck could warp. Don’t remove books until
glue is set.
Step 10.
Use the X-ACTO knife to cut 2 separate ½ inch long slots in the end
of the access door opposite of the round hole. Then install fiber hinges.
Do not glue
.
Take your time. Make sure the cuts are parallel to the edge
as seen in the lower portion of the above picture.
Step 11.
Mark the location each hinge contacts the belly plate As show. Then
continue on next page.
Note the location of the small hole in the door,. It
should face aft as shown in the above picture.
Cut the two separate ½ slots for the opposite end of the fiber hinges.
Now slip the fiber hinges into the belly plate slots to complete the step.
Do not glue the fiber hinges to the belly plate
. Only glue the fiber
hinges to the access door so the door can be completely removed for
access to the battery and electronics. Add a small drop of glue to the tip
of the fiber hinges and then slid them into the ½ inch slots. Remove the
access door for the next few steps.
