which position. Tack each in place with cyano and then apply a bead of hysol / epoxy on each side to

secure in place. The joints can then be painted to finish.

Vortex generators

Each wing also has a number of small vortex generators. You will see the relevant positions for the

vortex generators on the wings. We recommend making a small drilling template as shown to make the

task of drilling the holes easier. Drill a pair of holes for each piece 1.8mm and put a drop of cyano in

each hole before fixing the vortex generator in place.

Congratulations ! You have now completed the main part of the assembly of your Skygate Hawk. A

number of small scale parts are provided in your kit to greatly enhance the scale looks of your aircraft.

There are numerous resin parts as well as plastic mouldings and clear lenses for lighting etc.
