4...Use 5-minute epoxy to glue the
plywood Firewall, the 2 Cowl Mounts,
the Servo Tray, the Tailskid, and the 2
Aluminum Wing Tubes in place in the
fuselage.
NOTE: Be sure the firewall is firmly
seated into the recess molded into the
front of the fuselage. This recess has
been molded to provide the correct right
and down-thrust for the motor.
Glue the servo tray in place with the
grain running across the fuselage.
The wing tubes should be centered, so
that an equal amount sticks out on each
side of the fuselage.
5...Use 3/4" wide 3M Scotch ® Crystal Clear Tape to hinge
the tail surfaces. Apply a strip of tape to the top of the
Horizontal Stabilizer, centered over the hinge line. Turn the
stabilizer/elevator assembly over and apply another strip of
tape, again centered over the hinge line. Repeat this process
with the Vertical Fin/Rudder assembly.
NOTE: 3/4” wide tape is available at most office supply
stores. Use only clear tranparent tape. Do not use frosted
Scotch
® Magic Tape.
6...Use a sharp hobby knife to trim and remove the
unwanted foam bridges from the Stabilizer/Elevator
assembly and the Fin/Rudder assembly. There are 5 bridges
to remove:
A. Trim 2 foam bridges connecting Stabilizer to Elevator.
B. Trim foam bridge connecting top of Rudder to Fin.
C. Trim foam bridge connecting bottom of Rudder to Tab.
D. Trim foam bridge connecting bottom of Fin to Tab.
7...Use a small diameter dowel with a smooth rounded end,
similar object, to indent the tape on each side of the tail
surface until the two pieces of tape contact each other in the
middle of the hinge gap, creating the finished hinge.
8...Now is the best time to apply all the decals to the various model parts, before the parts are glued together and become more
cumbersome to handle. Use the box label and the assembly manual pictures for proper positioning of the decals.
DECAL APPLICATION NOTES: The decals provided in this kit are a type of water transfer decal that you may not have used
before. They are extremely thin and light, and when they are on the model they look like they’re painted on. Notice that the decals
are printed on the paper carrier upside down. There is a thin clear plastic sheet over the decals that protects a low tack adhesive.
