the front window flange.  As you install the window, slide 
the front flange into the slot.  You may find that some of 
the flanges around the window will need to be trimmed 
a little closer in order to fit nice.  A heavy-duty scissors 
works good for trimming.

b) Apply  a  bead  of  canopy  glue  around  the  flange  of  the 

window.    Press  the  window  into  the  cutout  in  the  fuse 
and secure it with tape.  Let the glue dry overnight before 
handling.

For Electric Power Users 

- If you are using an electric motor

in  your  RASCAL,  we  recommend  that  you  make  the  side 
windows  removable  to  provide  a  way  to  load  and  unload  your
battery pack without removing the wing.  The battery pack will
go in and out of the fuselage through the open side windows.
As you stand (or kneel) in front of the airplane and look down
through the windshield, you use one hand in each side window
opening  to  install  and  plug  in  the  battery  packs.    In  flight,  the
front of the windshield will be held in place by the front window
flange  going  into  the  slot  in  the  fuselage.    The  rear  of  the 
window will be held with magnets.  The method has worked very
well for us.

a) Test fit the windows first.  Note at the front of the window 

opening that there is a slot in the fuselage structure for 
the front window flange.  As you install the window, slide 
the front flange into the slot.  You may find that some of 
the flanges around the window will need to be trimmed 
a little closer in order to fit nice.  A heavy-duty scissors 
works good for trimming.

b) Eight magnets are provided - four for each side window.  

Mix  up  some  5-minute  epoxy  and  glue  two  of  the 
magnets  into  the  round  magnet  pockets  inside  the 
fuselage  at  the  rear  edge  of  the  side  window  opening.   
Make sure the magnets are pushed all the way into each 
pocket.  Wipe up any excess epoxy around the edges.

c) Once the epoxy has dried lay the fuselage on one side.  

Insert the side window and mark the location of the two 
magnets  on  the  rear  plastic  flange  of  the  window  with 
a  felt  tip  pen.    Take  the  window  back  out  and  use 
sandpaper to rough up the plastic frame over where the 
magnet  will  be  glued.    This  will  help  ensure  a  secure 
bond to the plastic frame.

d) Insert the window back in fuselage.  Slip a piece of wax 

paper  in  between  the  window  flange  and  the  fuselage 
side  to  insure  that  the  window  does  not  get  glued  to 
the fuselage.  Next, set a magnet on the flange at both 
locations, testing each magnet's polarity with its mating 
magnet to make sure they attract each other, instead of 
repel.    Make  sure  you  get  the  orientation  of  each 
magnet correct.  Then epoxy the two magnets onto the 
window flange.  Let dry.

e) Once  the  epoxy  has  dried  on  the  first  side,  flip  the 

airplane over and repeat the process for the other side 
window.

f) The  final  step  in  making  removable  side  windows  is  to 

provide  a  way  to  hold  onto  the  windows  when  taking 
them out and putting them back in.  We simply made a 
small "finger grab hole" in each side window as shown.  
This can be done with a sharp hobby knife or a Dremel

® 

tool  with  a  sanding  drum  bit.    Make  the  hole  large 
enough  to  be  able  to  slip  your  index  finger  inside  the 
window so you can have a good hold of it.

LANDING GEAR AND WHEEL PANTS

For the following steps you will need:

(1) Aluminum Main Landing Gear
(2) 4" dia. Main Wheels
(1) Right Fiberglass Wheel Pant
(1) Left Fiberglass Wheel Pant
(2) 4 mm dia. Threaded Axles
(2) 7.6 mm Hex Nuts; for axles
(4)  4 mm ID Wheels Collars; for axles
(4)  M3 x 12mm Socket-Head Bolts
(4)  M4 x 20mm Socket-Head Bolts
(4)  M4 Split-Ring Lock Washers

NOTE:

We  suggest  you  use  a  thread  locking  liquid  (like

Locktite

®

)  on  all  bolts  and  nuts  used  in  the  assembly  of  the 

landing gear.
