**Electric Version:**
Mark the location of the hatch magnets on the rails of the
fuselage and battery hatch. Drill a 1/4” hole in each location
deep enough so the magnet sits flush.
Insure the magnets have a positive attraction once the hatch
is set in place and glue the magnets in the holes using CA.
Epoxy the hook & loop battery strap to the bottom of the fire-
wall box so it can still be easily accessed.
Place the rough side of the adhesive hook & loop on the bot-
tom of the battery box, toward the front. Attach the other side
to your battery. Note: you don’t need much - just enough to
keep the battery from sliding around.
Glue the radiator assembly to the bottom of the wing as
shown.
Attach the canopy using canopy glue or #2 wood screws.
If you are going to add scale gun detail, you can attach W29
to the wing as shown on the plans and sand to shape. You
can use a brass tube as a gun.
Cut out the exhaust stacks, paint and glue them to the cowl
in the position shown on the plans. Note: Testors makes a
buffing paint in exhaust color that works well on these.
Balance the place according to the specification on the plan
and in the front of the manual. Set your control throws ac-
cording to Page 2 in the manual.
The rest is up to you. Enjoy one of the best flying warbirds
you will ever fly!
Fiberglassing Tips:
Lay the fiberglass cloth over the airframe and cut to shape.
Leave about 1-1.5 inches around the outside.
Use a brush to brush out any wrinkles. Start from the inside
of the wing and work your way to the outside. Cut around
any obstructions.
Make small cuts around any curved areas so the fabric will
follow the contour.
Mix Epoxy resin 1 part resin, 1 part hardner, 1 part denatured
alcohol. Mix well.
Starting in the center of the wing, brush epoxy to the outward
edges. You will be able to brush out any wrinkles as you go.
Soak up any pools of epoxy with a paper towel. Allow to dry.
Lightly sand the cloth, wipe clean and apply a second coat 1
part resin, 1 part hardner, 1/2 part denatured alcohol with a
foam brush. Allow to dry.
Sand until the point where you never want to look at sandpa-
per again!
