52.
Sand the face of HR3, Slightly rounding it until it looks like a comfortable cushion.
Final Assembly
53.
Seal, cover and paint your model.
Tip: If you don’t fancy yourself handy with a covering iron and covering: Only the open
frame work of the fuselage is required to be covered. This can then be painted to match the
fuselage. For example, you could cover the turtle deck with tissue paper and seal and paint
with the remainder of the fuselage parts... leaving only the top surface of the wings to cover
with AeroLite.
Sealing, Painting, and Covering:
54.
Use a lacquer based clear spray such as Deft
®,
available at your local hardware store.
Mist on a light coat of lacquer to seal the wood and prevent moisture from soaking in and
warping your model. Go easy with the lacquer as it can add significant amounts of weight if
you put it on thick and heavy.
55.
For painting the struts and other details, we recommend using Design Master paints,
available at your local craft store in the floral department. After lightly sealing wooden parts
we suggest painting the following items: Inter-plane struts, cabane struts, profile pilot “P”,
control horns, wing spar, landing gear struts, head rest, faux tail wheel. As the wing is
designed as a single surface under-cambered assembly only the top of the wing panel will
receive covering, give some thought to shooting a matching color to the underside of each
wing panel as part of your painting regiment!
56.
We recommend covering your model using AeroLite covering material, available from
stevensaero.com. Note: Only the upper surfaces of the wings and open framework on top
of the fuselage
mus
t be covered.
Do not cover the bottoms of the wings.
Receiver and Push Rods:
57.
Follow the “Pushrod Detail” on the plan to create two pushrods, from the provided length of
0.015 in. wire. Each pushrod should terminate with a “Snake” bend in one end.
58.
There are three holes in former F3 for the pushrods to pass through (you’ll use only two).
Pass the straight end of the Rudder pushrod through the hole on the
LEFT
side of the
former (nearest the antenna on the receiver) and exiting the fuselage through the elongated
opening on the
RIGHT
fuselage side. Now, pass the Elevator pushrod through the
CENTER
hole in the F3 former and exit the
LEFT
fuselage side. Hook the “snake bend” of
each push rod to the
center
hole on the corresponding servo of your receiver [PKZ3351 or
PKZUA1151] and twist the push rod until the end of the bend slides through the hole and
faces away from the circuit board.
59.
With the push rod connections made now lock your receiver within the fuselage. Position
the receiver so that the geared end of the servos point
forward
(refer to the plan for the
correct position). Fit the edge of the circuit board into the slot in the short arm of the
receiver clip. Carefully press the receiver down into the clip until it snaps into the slot in the
long arm of the clip.
Connect your motor wire to the receiver according to the manufactures instructions.
60.
Use the remaining long cut length of 1/32 in. wire and bend the landing gear over the
diagram on the plan. Take your time, as accuracy is important for a proper fit within the
landing gear pocket.
