epoxy. Disposable wood strips, cotton swabs, cheap stiff bristle brushes, or acid brushes from auto stores make good applicators.
Because epoxy is so thick, it’s easy to apply too much. If you use epoxy to build the entire model be especially careful to use sparingly
when assembling fin, stabilizer, and wing.
Caution
Some people may experience allergic reactions when exposed to fumes from instant glue or epoxy. This is very rare. However, it is always
important that such glues, and also paints, thinners and solvents, be used with adeqquate ventilation to carry fumes away.
Windshield
The Cub windshield was carefully designed to realistically duplicate the distinctive lines of the original, yet still be easy to install. For good final
appearance, follow instructions carefully, especially those dealing with removing scrap plastic from windshield base and its’ installation. If tinted
windows are desired, do not try to dye them (the plastic does not dye well).Instead, we recommend “transparent” spray enamels be carefully
applied to the inside window surface (they are not fuel proof).
Covering The Model
The full size Cub is of wood and metal construction, which is covered with fabric. The fabric is then painted. For your model, fabric types of cov-
ering duplicate the fabric appearance of the full size airplane quite realistically. There are many good covering materials available that have good
resistance to tearing and punctures. General information on applying iron-on covering can be found on page 22. Because of specific differences in
the application of various brands of covering, make sure instructions have been provided by the manufacturer of the covering you select.
Clipped Wing Option
The shortened wing for this option is accomplished by cutting the spars, leadings edges, etc. to the shorter lengths shown on the plan. This is
fully described at the beginning of the wing assembly.
