Be very careful using epoxy and CA so that you don't get any
on to the surfaces of the model during assembly.

You can tick off the bullet points on this instruction manual if you
want to follow it to the letter.

Remember - check twice – cut once!
Wing Construction
I always begin with the wings because it gives that “already
half done” feeling.
•
First, do a dry assembly to make sure that the entire plane fits
together well. If the carbon joiner seems too tight – it probably is
not. They tend to loosen a little after a few flights – but adding
some floor or car wax can help if it is particularly stiff.
•
Check the control surfaces to make sure that they have
enough “up” movement.
•
If not, then open up the controls surface to expose the
wipers, then carefully sand the hinge joint inside a little and
try again.
•
When you are happy, use an air gun or similar to blow the
sanding dust away.
•
Install the control rods on each surface using the control horns
that are already installed. Check that they don’t bind in any way.
Check for enough movement Sand the hinge inside if not
enough
