The parts should be affixed using double-sided tape, such as Order No. 2904.
The cockpit canopy is attached to the frame using small pan-head self-tapping
screws. A strip of tape all around has proven to be a good way to ensure that the
cockpit canopy fits the frame uniformly.
The final work on the model consists of fitting and gluing the navigation lights, hatch
covers, and aerials.
Balancing the Jodel ROBIN DR 400/180
The model (with the fuel tank empty for an internal combustion version or with the
drive batteries inserted for an electric version) should supported to the right and left
at a point about 130 - 140 mm aft of the leading edge of the wing, ideally in inverted
flight position. If the centre of gravity is correct, the model should balance out
horizontally or with the nose pointing slightly downward. If necessary, adjust the
centre of gravity by shifting the position of the receiver batteries. Before flying the
aircraft, set the transmitter trims to centre and ensure that all the control surfaces are
also exactly centred (in neutral position).
