PREPARATION
❏
1. The canopy is held in place with wire rods at both
ends. To remove the canopy, slide it forward and then lift
the back end up.
❏
2. Use a covering iron with a protective cover sock to bond
areas of loose covering back down to the framework or remove
any wrinkles that may have developed after the covering was
applied. Start with low or medium heat to fi nd the setting that
works best (approximately 275ºF measured on the surface of
the cover sock). Gradually increase the heat as necessary, but
too much heat may cause seams and edges to pull away or
damage the color graphics printed onto the covering, so
proceed with care. As you go, push down on the iron over
sheeted areas to bond the covering to the wood underneath.
❏
3. Stack two or three
paper towel squares on
top of each other and
cut them into small
squares. These squares
may be dampened
with denatured alcohol
when epoxy cleanup is
needed.
ASSEMBLE THE WING
Hook Up the Ailerons
You can assemble one wing at a time, or work on both wing
halves simultaneously. The left wing is shown in the photos.
❏
1. Cut the covering from the wing over the wing bolt
holes, the leading edge dowel holes and the servo wire
holes in both wing halves.
