Note that because of the unique design of the Tiger
Shark, the assembly sequence is unusual when
compared to most other ARF designs. We at
KANGKE have found this to be the best sequence
and recommend you do not deviate from it.
FUSELAGE
Carefully trim the covering and remove the access
hatch as shown in the photo. Secure the loose edge
of the covering with a covering iron.
Locate the fin support block. Slide the block into
the rear of the fuselage.
DO NOT GLUE!
Using a ¼-inch drill, make a hole through the
fuselage as far to the rear of the fin slot as possible.
Drill another ¼-inch hole 1-inch forward of the rear
of the fin slot. Remove the fin support block.
Using a razor knife, remove the balsa between the
holes making a slot. Reinstall the fin support block.
DO NOT GLUE!
Using a small saw blade, notch the rear of the fin
support block, as well as the fuselage 1/8-inch at the
center of the slot {
this is for rudder bellcrank
clearance
}. Remove the fin support block.
Using a razor knife, make a slot in the rear of the
fuselage opening for the rudder bellcrank support-
bearing tab.
Test fit the bellcrank in the rear of the slot
DO NOT
GLUE!
