1)

 

Apply

 

Foam

Tac

 

to

 

the

 

leading

 

edge

 

of

 

the

 

main

 

wing

 

assembly

 

where

 

the

 

firewall

 

will

 

be

 

attached.

  

Take

 

note

 

of

 

which

 

side

 

you

 

would

 

like

 

your

 

motor

 

wires

 

to

 

enter

 

through

 

the

 

slot,

 

and

 

press

 

the

 

firewall

 

onto

 

the

 

front

 

of

 

the

 

fuselage,

 

ensuring

 

that

 

all

 

of

 

the

 

firewall

 

edges

 

are

 

flush

 

with

 

their

 

mating

 

foam

 

surfaces.

  

Allow

 

glue

 

to

 

cure

 

fully

 

before

 

installing

 

motor.

 

It

 

is

 

easiest

 

to

 

drill

 

your

 

motor

 

mounting

 

holes

 

before

 

attaching

 

the

 

firewall

 

to

 

the

 

fuselage.

 

2)

 

Apply

 

a

 

long

 

strip

 

of

 

Blenderm

 

tape

 

from

 

one

 

side

 

of

 

the

 

fuselage,

 

across

 

the

 

firewall,

 

and

 

to

 

the

 

other

 

fuselage

 

side.

  

This

 

will

 

further

 

lock

 

the

 

firewall

 

to

 

the

 

fuselage

 

in

 

the

 

event

 

of

 

an

 

impact

 

during

 

combat.
