IMPORTANT
The hinges are NOT glued into place from the factory, they are simply slid into place dry for shipping purposes. You
must glue them into place.
C/A-style hinges are used to hinge the control surfaces. These hinges are designed to be glued into place using thin C/A. Do not
glue the hinges into place using any other type of glue, such as thick C/A or epoxy. Use of any adhesive other than thin C/A could
result in failure of the hinges during flight.
For flutter-free control surfaces and crisp control response, it is imperative that the hinges be glued in properly. This is achieved by
having a tight hinge gap (no more than 1/32" (1mm) wide) and using plenty of thin C/A glue. Poor hinge installation can lead to control
surface flutter which can result in a catastrophic failure of the airframe.
PRO TIP
The T-Pins will keep the hinges centred and square to the hinge
line while you are hinging the aileron.
q
Working with one wing panel for now, remove the aileron, the flap, and the
C/A-style hinges from the wing panel.
q
Push two T-Pins through the centre of each of the four aileron hinges.
q
Mark and cut out the areas of the cowling necessary to give you access to
your engine's high and low speed needle valves, and the muffler. You should
also install an in-cowl fueling valve in a convenient location on the side or
bottom of the cowling so that you can fill the fuel tank.
q
Install the cowling, using four M2 x 10mm flange-head wood screws, then
install your propeller.

Cut out the windshield along the moulded scribe line.
q
Sand the edges of the windshield smooth and straight.

q
Place the windshield onto the fuselage. When aligned correctly, the top edge
of the windshield should be even with the back edge of the wing mounting
bulkhead, and the sides and base of the windshield should fit flush against the
sides and front of the fuselage.
IMPORTANT
The sides of the windshield may overlap the angled
window posts. If so, carefully trim the sides of the windshield so that they
don't overlap.
q
When satisfied with the alignment, glue the windshield into place using Formula 560 Canopy Glue. Remove any excess glue before it
dries, using a paper towel soaked with
water
, and use pieces of masking tape to hold the windshield in place until the glue fully cures.
q
Cut out each of the side windows, making sure to leave a 1/4" (6mm) lip
around the edge of the side windows to use as a gluing surface.
