22..Apply the Wing Reinforcing Tape (14mm X 43mm) to the lead-
ing edge of both the top and bottom wing.  The tape should be cen-
tered on the leading edge  left and right and should be applied so
that it wraps around the leading edge with half on the top of the
wing and half on the bottom of the wing.

Apply the two star decals to the top of the top wing and allow to
dry.  

Remove the two plywood wing struts from the die cut sheet.  Insert
the struts through the bottom wing.  Use 5 minute epoxy to attach
the struts to the bottom wing. The struts should be aligned vertical.

Now glue the top stubs into the top wing with 5 minute epoxy.
Align the wings square and allow the epoxy to dry. 

22..Use 5 minute epoxy to glue the two die cut plywood landing
gear inserts into position on the landing gear.  The short one goes
at the front of the landing gear and the taller one is at the rear.

Trim the two Molded Plastic Wheel Covers as shown.  Use a 1/16”
drill bit to drill a hole for the axle in the center of each cover.  

Press one Wheel Retainer on each axle and slide all of the way in.
Now place the wheel, wheel cover and outer Wheel Retainer into
position.  The outer wheel retainer should spaced so that the wheel
turns freely.

23..Attach the wing on the model using 4 rubber bands.  Now
install the landing gear by pressing the front and rear upper ends
completely into the slots in the fuselage.  Attach the number decals to the fuselage sides between the wing and the tail surfaces.

24...Plug the speed control into the receiver.  Charge and connect

the airborne battery and test the radio and power system WITH-

OUT THE PROPELLER ATTACHED.

Make sure that all of the controls and the throttle function properly.

When everything checks out, securely attach the propeller onto the

power system.

25...Place the battery in the model and install the Plastic Cockpit

Cover.  Check the balance of the model.  To do this, turn the model

upside down and support the model on your finger tips placed 1/2”

back from the leading edge of the bottom wing.  Hold your fingers

20...Pre-drill the two motor mount holes in the firewall with a
1/16” drill bit.  Use the two #3 x 10mm Phillips-Head Sheet
Metal Screws to attach the motor to the front of the model.
Feed the motor connector through the hole in the front of the
fuselage and connect it to the electronic speed controller.

21...Trim and assemble the molded plastic Cowl as follows:

A. Tape the left and right cowl halves together and mark the

back edge for cutting.  Study the picture closely to see where
the marks should be.

B. Untape the cowl halves and trim the plastic off the back.

C. Trim the “bubble” off the front face of each cowl half.

D. Cut the bottom flange off both cowl halves.  Cut as close

to the flange as possible.

E. Notice that the left cowl half has recessed joiner strips

molded in along the top and bottom edges.  Trim away the
excess plastic at the front and rear of each joiner strip as shown
in this picture.

F. Place the right and left cowl halves together.  The right

half should fit over the recessed flanges on the top and bottom
of the left half.  Hold the cowl together with tape and test fit
onto the front of the fuselage.  If the fit is good, carefully glue
the cowl halves together with thin C/A glue.

G. Fit the cowl back onto the model.  Use a 1/32” bit to drill

four mounting holes through the cowl and into the plywood
cowl mounts.  Mount the cowl to the model using the four 
#2 x 8mm Phillips-Head Sheet Metal Screws to attach the cowl
to the model.

22...Apply the Wing Reinforcing Tape (14mm x 43mm) to the
leading edges of both the top and bottom wings.  The tape
should be centered left-to-right on the leading edge, and it
should be applied so that it wraps around the leading edge with
half on the top of the wing and half on the bottom of the wing.

23...Apply the two star decals to the top of the top wing and
allow to dry.
