Using the openings in the template (shown below), make 4 narrow cuts to receive the 4 tabs in each windshield. Set aside 
the template and test-fit a windshield in front of each cockpit. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

113.

 

Use epoxy or windshield adhesive to secure the 
windshields in position. (NOTE: Before the 
glue dries, re-check that the top edges of the 
windshields visually align with the top wing.   

114.

 

Position and secure your radio equipment in   
accordance with your radio manufacturer‟s   
instructions. Perform any necessary initial adjustments to your servo 
directions, end points, control throws, etc.

Use epoxy and scrap wood to secure optional 1/5 scale pilot figures 
(available at 

http://www.maxfordusa.com/flyboypilot-2-1.aspx

 ) in 

their cockpits. 

116.

 

Balance and install the propeller on your motor or engine. 

117.

 

To ensure the wings, struts and wing wires remain secure during 
removal and storage, test-fit the parts of the two sets of wooden 
wing supports as shown below. 

118.

 

Glue the wooden wing supports together as shown below. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

(NOTE: When completed, each 
supports‟ curved wooden surface 
will rest against and support the 
bottom of the top wing and the top 
of the bottom wing. Use rubber 
bands or string to secure the wing 
supports to their wing panels for 
transport or storage.)

If necessary, adjust the supplied self- 
locking nuts to ensure the landing gear 
suspension (shown at the right) moves 
smoothly.
