PREPARATIONS
❏
1. If you have not done so already, remove the major parts
of the kit from the box and inspect for damage. If any parts
are damaged or missing, contact Product Support at the
address or telephone number listed in the “Kit Inspection”
section on page 4.
❏
2. Use a covering iron with a covering sock on high heat
to tighten the covering if necessary. Apply pressure over
sheeted areas to
thoroughly bond the covering to the wood.
Take care when applying heat onto trim covering applied over
the base color. Move the iron at a rate slow enough to get
the covering hot but not so slow that the top color shrinks
on top of the base color causing the edges to pull away.
Check the Pre-Installed Hinges
This model has all of the control surfaces pre-hinged at the
factory. No additional glue is typically necessary; however, all
of the hinged surfaces must be carefully checked to confi rm
they are securely attached. This procedure should be part
of your pre-fl ight check each and every time you fl y.
❏
1. Grasp each control surface at one end, taking care
not to dent or puncture the covering or the wood structure
beneath. Pull the control surface away from the hinge line.
Move your hand along the surface and repeat the check for
the entire length of the surface.
❏
2. If you fi nd a control surface with loose hinges, you will
need to add thin CA glue to the hinges. Push the control
surface back into place. Defl ect the control surface all the
way in one direction in order to expose the center of the
hinge. Apply 6 to 7 drops of thin CA glue to each hinge. Do
NOT use accelerator! The CA glue must be allowed to slowly
wick into the hinge and surrounding wood. When the glue has
dried, fl ip the model over and add 6 or 7 drops to the other
side of each hinge. It is recommended that you reinforce
every hinge on the model with CA glue if you found even
one loose hinge. Confi rm the control surfaces move freely
and are well secured.
