Fuselage Continued
25.
Fit and bond nose part F23 to the tabs of F9 and F10 that protrude from the
forward
face of
F22.
26.
Turn the model up-side-down and fit/bond bottom nose sheeting F24, tabbing into former F2
and overlapping nose part F22.
27.
Fit and bond nose side parts F25 and F26 to the tabs on either side of the motor mount
plate F11 and to F22 and F24.
Motor Installation
28.
Prepare the motor and gearbox for installation within your model. Note that you must have
your PKZ3624 motor on hand to proceed with the fuselage assembly. Important! test your
motor for proper function prior to installation. First, remove the pointed mounting studs
from the gearbox mounting tabs (they will snap right off with finger pressure). Now sand the
tabs smooth.
29.
Feed the power lead
through
the hole in F2,
over
the landing gear mount, and
into
the radio
compartment.
30.
Slide the geared end of the motor/gearbox into the opening within the nose at formers F22
and F23.
31.
Nest the motor
within
the cut-out of the motor mount plate F11. Ensure that the gears do
not contact the balsa wood nose parts F22 and F23, and that both gears move freely. If
necessary, open the hole slightly with a sharp hobby knife. Secure motor with a small drop
of medium CA under each tab.
Nose Sheeting
32.
Moisten one side of part F27 with glass cleaner. The ammonia in the glass cleaner softens
the lignen (the “glue” that holes the structure of the wood together) in the wood, allowing the
part to be shaped around the curves of the nose. When dry, the lignen sets, and the wood
will hold its new shape.
Proceed immediately to step 33.
