Carefully adjust the clevises to tighten the flying wires. They should all be tight 
enough to maintain a little tension, but not much.  Tighten them evenly so that you 
do not create a warp in the top wing.  The cables will stretch a little after a flight or 
two so you will have to retighten them later, but probably only once o r twice. 

 

SETUP AND ADJUSTMENTS: 

 

Mount the cowl and if you have the optional machine guns, glue the larger Vickers 
gun into the precut holes in the top of the fuselage, and or the smaller Lewis gun to 
the top of the upper wing.
