COVERING YOUR MODEL
96.
Remove the tail surfaces from the model. Sand the entire model smooth. Any gaps or dents can be filled with a balsa filler
such as Hobbico Hobbylite™ Filler.
97.
Cover the model with one of the plastic iron on coverings available.
98.
Carefully trim the markings from the decal sheet and apply them to the model. Use the photos on the box and this manual
as a guide for placement.
FINAL ASSEMBLY
99.
Use tape to hold the windshield on the
model. Trace around the windshield
with a felt tip pen. Remove the
windshield from the model and use your
hobby knife to remove the covering
from the areas where the windshield
makes contact with the fuselage. The
bare wood can be painted (we used Sig
Black Dope) if you would like.
Glue the windshield to the fuselage.
When the glue is dry, finish the edges of
the windshield with trim tape as shown.
100.
Place the stabilizer into position on the
model. Carefully align it so that it is level
when viewed from the front and
perpendicular to the fuselage centerline
when viewed from the top. In addition,
the slot for the fin in the stabilizer must
line up with the corresponding slot in
the fuselage. Use a felt tip pen to trace
around the fuselage where it contacts
the stabilizer.
Remove the stabilizer from the model and very carefully trim the covering away from the bottom of the stabilizer to produce
wood to wood contact between the stabilizer and the fuselage.
101.
DO NOT CUT INTO THE WOOD WHEN REMOVING THE COVERING OR YOU
WILL SEVERELY WEAKEN THE STABILIZER.
Now glue the stabilizer to the fuselage with epoxy to allow time to align it with the
fuselage.
Glue the elevator joiner wire into the elevator halves. Install the hinges in the
elevator and glue to the stabilizer.
Test fit the fin to the top of the stabilizer. Mark and remove the covering where
the fin will contact the stabilizer. Now glue the fin into position making sure that
the fin is properly aligned.
Trim and fit the 1/4" triangle braces at the bottom of the fin. Mark and remove the
covering from the fin and stabilizer under the balsa triangle. Cover the outside
surface of the balsa triangles with covering material. Now glue the braces into
position.
102.
Hinge the rudder to the vertical fin and fuselage tailpost. When the glue is dry on
the hinges, flex the rudder and elevators several times to free up the hinges and
to check for proper operation.
