Locate one of the two 14 1/2 X 3/
4” clear armor strips on the decal
sheet. These strips are provided as
crash armor for severe head-on
crashes. In the event of such a
crash the strips help to prevent the
trailingedge of the wing from
cracking or separating. Cut one of
the strips into two equal pieces 7 1/
4” long.
The clear decal armor strip works
best when applied parallel to the
trailing edge at the prop cutout.
Wipe the area with alcohol or
windex. Slip the decal under the
control arm. Align the decal
parallel to the trailind edge and
press the square end to the base of
the motor pylon. Press the remain-
ing length to the wing. Do not try to
follow the elevon hinge line.
Measure and mark the center of the
remaining armor strip on the decal
sheet. Center the center line mark
with the center of the wing. Align
the armor strip with the trailing edge
of the prop cutout between the
elevons.
Press the armor strip to the contour
of the center pod first. Press the
decal over the full length. Air
bubbles can be trapped under the
armor strip. Do not try to remove
the armor strip. Poke the bubble
with a pin and chase the air bubble
out through the vent.
