Install the Wing & Canopy Hatch
❏
1. Fit the two wing panels onto the aluminum wing joiner
tube. Slide the root ribs of the panels together so that the
anti-rotation pin preinstalled in one panel fi ts into the
mating hole of the other panel. Slide the wing dowels that are
preinstalled in the LE of the wing panels into the receiving
holes in the fuselage at the front of the wing saddle. Use
two 1/4-20 nylon wing bolts to secure the wing in place.

2. We suggest gluing a #4 washer to each of the two
4-40 x 5/8" [16mm] canopy hatch screws. Take care not to
get glue onto the threads of the screws. This will make the
screws easier to work with at the fl ying fi eld.

3. Fit the canopy hatch in place by inserting the two
dowel pins into the receiving holes at the front of the hatch
opening. Use the two 4-40 x 5/8" [16mm] machine screws to
secure the hatch in place.

4. This completes the assembly of the Cherokee .40 ARF!
Apply the Decals
1. Use scissors or a sharp hobby knife to cut the decals from
the sheet.
2. Be certain the model is clean and free from oily fi ngerprints
and dust. Prepare a dishpan or small bucket with a mixture
of liquid dish soap and warm water–about one teaspoon of
soap per gallon of water. Submerse the decal in the soap and
water and peel off the paper backing. Note: Even though the
decals have a “sticky-back” and are not the water transfer
type, submersing them in soap & water allows accurate
positioning and reduces air bubbles underneath.
3. Position the decal on the model where desired. Holding the
decal down, use a paper towel to wipe most of the water away.
4. Use a piece of soft balsa or something similar to squeegee
remaining water from under the decal. Apply the rest of the
decals the same way.
