General Building Notes
1. The SEALANE is recommended for the modeler who has previous building experience. Although the SEALANE is an
easy model to build and fly, the instructions were written assuming that the builder has previous experience. As such,
procedures such as how to make a proper wood joint or detailed covering instructions are not covered.
2. The first thing that you need to do is mark part numbers on the laser cut parts using the drawings for reference.
3. The laser cut parts have small tabs that keep them attached to the main sheet. You should use your hobby knife to
remove the parts from the sheets. If a part is not completely cut through you can use your hobby knife to free it from the
sheet.
4. The slight discoloration of the edges of the laser cut parts may be removed by lightly sanding them with 320 grit
sandpaper.
5. The wings and the tail surfaces are built directly over the plan. You should cover the plan with wax paper to protect it and
to prevent the parts from sticking.
BUILDING THE TAIL SURFACES
1.
Cover the stabilizer and rudder plan with wax paper. Pin stabilizer parts S-1 and
both S-2’s into position on the plan. Using the wood sizes on the plan, cut and
glue in place the remainder of the stabilizer parts. Remove the stabilizer from the
plan.
2.
Pin and glue elevator parts S-3, S-4, and S-5 into position on the plan. Using the
wood sizes on the plan, cut and glue in place the remainder of the elevator parts.
Remove the elevator from the plan.
3.
Pin fin parts R-1 and R-2 into position on the plan. Using the wood sizes on the
plan, cut and glue in place the remainder of the fin parts. Remove the fin from the
plan.
4.
Pin rudder parts R-4 into position on the plan. Using the wood sizes on the plan,
cut and glue in place the remainder of the rudder parts. Remove the rudder from
the plan.
5.
Sand the outside edges of the fin and rudder round. Bevel the leading edge of the
rudder. Mark the hinge locations, cut the slots, and temporarily install the hinges
(without glue). Set the fin and rudder assembly aside until needed later in
construction.
6.
Sand the outside edges of the stabilizer
and elevators round. Bevel the leading
edge of the elevators. Mark and drill the
holes in the elevators for the 3/32"
joiner wire. Cut a small channel in the
leading edge just inboard of the holes
for the joiner to fit into, allowing it to be
flush with the leading edge. Mark the
hinge locations, cut the slots, and
temporarily install the hinges (without
glue).
Set the stabilizer and elevator assembly aside until needed later in construction.
BUILDING THE FUSELAGE
NOTE: The fuselage is built mostly from laser cut lite plywood parts. You will use the plan as a guide but the fuselage is
not built over the plan.
