Terminology used in this manual.
With the precision of laser cut parts and notch and tab construction, the assembly and gluing sequence
becomes very important. If components are glued in place to soon, they will not allow enough move-
ment to install other components. When instructed to install a part, do only that. You will be instructed
to glue it when it is no longer required to be moveable.
Test Fit:
Test fit and install but do not glue.
Install and glue:
Permanently install the part.
Locate and prepare:
Find the parts requested, you can locate them faster using the parts locator pages at the back of this
manual. The parts locator will direct you to the correct sheet number as well as describe the part for
easier identification. Most of the parts are supplied still in the sheet. These sheets are called the carrier
sheet and the parts are held in the carrier sheet by small breaks in the cutting line. These are called
retainer breaks and in most cases the parts can be extricated by simply flexing the carrier sheet and the
retainer breaks will release the parts. In harder materials it may be necessary to use your hobby knife to
sever the retainer breaks to remove the parts. After removing the parts, a small nub may remain where
the retainer break was, this must be removed with a light swipe of sandpaper so it will not interfere with
the parts fit.
Adhesives:
There are four primary types of adhesives recommended for constructing your model. They are Cyano-
Acrilate (referred to as CA) in all viscosities, Aliphatic Resin Glue (carpenters glue), Polyurethane glue
referred to as PU and Epoxy. CA is the primary adhesive to use however there are times when it is not
the best choice.
They are:
1. When you need more time to carefully position a part than a fast setting adhesive will allow.
2. When attaching plastic such as a windshield (Use Pacer formula 560 here).
3. When gluing laser cut aircraft grade plywood’s. The microwave set adhesives used in aircraft grade
plywood does not ablate well under a laser beam. As a result it burns the wood fibers near by leaving
a charred edge. Fast setting CA adhesives do not allow time for the adhesive to penetrate this layer of
char and bond to the wood fiber underneath. Use a slower setting adhesive such as Aliphatic Resin for
maximum strength use Epoxy on aircraft grade ply parts. Lite Ply’s do not use this type of adhesive and
do not suffer from this problem.
To apply thin CA we recommend the Dave Brown pipets available from Hobby Lobby. Be sure to stretch
the end (pull it with a pair of pliers) to a thin applicator tip, as they are not supplied in this configura
