Recommended building methods and glues:
Much of the construction of this model is done by
laying the parts on a flat table. It is strongly
recommended that you put wax paper down on the
surface first so any excess glue doesn’t soak through
the foam and glue the parts to the table. For all
assembly, use “Welders” contact adhesive. The hinges
are also done with Welders, see our video on the web
site. Hot glue can be used to attach the servos and
control horns.
Painting:
It is easiest to paint the parts before assembly. Card
stock can be used to make templates for stripes,
checkers, ect... Epp does is not affected much by
solvents so Krylon, Testors and airbrush paints can be
used.
Horizontal parts assembly:
Start by gluing the wing halves together. Next, note the
marks on the wing tips and using a strait edge cut a slot
1/8” deep and 30” long centered, top and bottom of the
wing. Cut two 30” long pieces of 1.5mm carbon rod
and press it into the slots. Sight along the leading edge
of the wing and adjust the wing so it is strait. Wick
thin CA along the top spar slot. When dry flip it over
and glue the bottom spar.
