24...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. Make sure the
struts are aligned vertically before the glue sets.
Now glue the top stubs of the wing struts into the top wing with
5-minute epoxy. Align the wings square and allow the epoxy to
dry.
25...Use 5-minute epoxy to glue the two die-cut plywood
landing gear inserts into position on the Wire Main Landing
Gear. The short plywood insert goes at the front of the landing
gear, and the taller one goes at the rear.
Trim the flange off of the two Molded Plastic Wheel Covers as
shown. Use a 1/16” bit to drill a hole for the axle in the center
of each wheel cover.
Press one Wheel Retainer onto each axle, and slide it all of the
way in as far as possible. Now slide on the wheel, plastic wheel
cover. Then install the outer Wheel Retainer. Make sure the
wheels turn freely.
26...Attach the wings on the model using 4 rubber bands (2 for
the top wing and 2 for the bottom wing). We recommend
putting the bottom wing rubber bands on first, being carefull to
line up the slots in the bottom wing with the slots in the bottom
of the fuselage. Then install the landing gear by pressing the
front and rear upper ends completely into the slots in the
bottom of the fuselage. Finally, install the top wing rubber
bands.
27...Apply the number decals to the fuselage sides.
Optional: You will see in some pictures that we painted our
wheel covers to match the fuselage color. All of the plastic
parts and the foam parts can be painted with water-based
acrylic “craft” paint. Do not use other paints on the foam.
