Go over all hinge gaps ensure there are no
wrinkles. Excessive wrinkles in the hinge
line can cause binding and or damage the
covering.

posed wood. Over heating of these areas can
cause the covering to pull.
CHECKING GLUE JOINTS
1. Go over all seams and glue joints with thin CA,
this will ensure your model lasts for many sea-
sons to come.
Note:
Even if you can visibly see glue on all glue
joints it is still recommended that the joints be
reglued. Due to changes in humidity during
the life of the aircraft glue joints can separate,
it is always recommended that the glue joints
be checked before each flying session.
2. Use thin CA on the front canopy mounting tabs
as shown.
DO NOT
install canopy on the fuse
until glue has fully cured. Failure to do so may
cause canopy to be permanently glued to the
fuse.
