2.8 Gusset Installation
Parts Required:
o
Main Assembly
o
3mm EPP Gussets (2 long, 2 short)
BUILDING TIP: The wires from the rudder and elevator servos will be concealed neatly under the
fuselage side braces.
1)
Lay the left long 3mm EPP gusset along the upper fuselage sides aligning the front of the gusset
with the front of the fuselage. Aim for a 45 degree angle between vertical and horizontal
fuselages. Trim excess gusset in line with the elevator hinge. Once satisfied with the fit, use foam
glue and t-pins to secure the gusset until the glue is cured.
The weighted bags and equal-height boxes in the above left photo help to keep the airframe square
while the side gussets are being glued. This isn’t necessary, but it has proven to help some builders.
2)
Repeat the same steps for the right long gusset.
3)
Repeat the installation process with the small gussets on the underside of the assembly, aligned to
the front of the fuselage.
