The model is extremely highly pre-fabricated, and is built to a superb standard of
quality. The kit includes a GRP cowl as standard. Please check first that the covering
film is stuck down all round, and run a film iron along the seams if you are not sure.
This applies in particular to hinge slots and film overlaps. We recommend that you
apply clear adhesive tape over the faces into which the control surface hinges are to
be fitted, because moisture tends to creep under the film at such areas, causing it to
lift.

Assembling the BELLANCA
Please don’t start assembling the model until you have checked the kit components
and the building instructions, and are familiar with the construction procedure. If you
are not happy with any component, please return it to your model shop immediately.
The fuselage
Press the four captive nuts into the rear face of the firewall (the front part of the motor
mount assembly) as shown in the photo, and apply epoxy round the edge of the nut
flanges.
The tabs of the motor mount assembly can now be fitted into the slots in the nose
bulkhead. Check that the assembly makes sound contact with the bulkhead all round.
Glue the joints well.
Connect the speed controller to the electric motor. Without fitting the propeller, use
the transmitter to check that the motor shaft rotates in the correct direction; reverse it
if necessary. Refer to the motor and controller instructions at this stage.
Fix the motor to the firewall using the retaining screws supplied with the unit. Fit the
speed controller through the lower opening in the nose bulkhead. Apply a drop of
thread-lock fluid to the screws to prevent them working loose.
