Making the side walls of the hangar tray: Step 1
Test-fitting the tray: Step 2
1
2
Position the two grooved walls
as shown, using the lines
highlighted by the blue arrows
as a reference, and glue the
shorter square rods into place on
the grooves, aligning the back
edges of the two.
Test-fit the hangar tray in place
as shown, between the central
and stern elevators. Align the
bow end with the stern side of
the central elevator and the aft
end with the bow side of the
stern elevator, making sure there
is a gap of 2 mm between the
outer edge and the wall of the
hangar. Make any adjustments
necessary to achieve the fit.
