AIRFRAME ASSEMBLY:
1. Flat nylon hinges are provided for this model and the slots have been pre-cut by the factory. Hint: clean the
hinges first with isopropyl alcohol to remove any plastic mold release agent prior to gluing in place. Also,
lightly sand them to take the shine off. Test fit the rudder and hinges (4 total) making sure it operates freely
with no binding. Make sure your hinges rotate freely at 90 degrees to the surface and are centered on the
hinge line. When satisfied, glue in place using epoxy making sure the hinge line is tight. Thoroughly clean
any excess epoxy away from the hinges using isopropyl alcohol and paper towels. Use masking tape to hold
the control surface in place with a tight hinge line while the glue cures.

control horns and test fit into the slots. It may be necessary to cut off some of the tab so that the horn fully
seats into the wood. It is very important that the horns align with each other and that the control rod pivot
point aligns over the hinge line. When satisfied, glue the horns in place using thin CA.
3. Locate the parts for the main landing gear. Two guide holes are provided in the fuselage for mounting the
main landing gear. Cut the covering away from these holes and mount the main landing gear using the
supplied bolts, washers, and lock nuts. Mount the wheels to the main gear by installing the supplied bolt
(bolt has a smooth shank on it) into the wheel, installing a nut on the bolt (tighten just enough to allow the
