Wing
(continued)
61. Sanding - Using a sanding block loaded with 120/240 grit paper, round the leading edge of
the wing to flow smoothly into the ribs. Taper W22 to flow smoothly into the extreme tip of
the wing. Lightly sand the rest of the wing, removing excess glue and smoothing the joints
between parts.
Set the completed wing aside until called for in the Covering steps.
Covering
62. Cover your model with a high quality, light weight iron material. We suggest AeroLITE,
available from stevensaero.com – A snazzy vinyl decal set is available separately from
Stevens AeroModel as well.
Leave the
bottom
of the fuselage uncovered for now
- this
will allow access to the interior for installing the pushrods. Cover both sides of the wings
and tail surfaces. Cover or paint the head rest. Paint the pylon, tail skid, and control horns
to match your color scheme.
Push Rods and Receiver
63. Apply a piece of low tack masking tape folded over one end of each .015 in. wire push rod
material supplied in your kit.
64. Slit the covering over the exit slots on each side of the fuselage. Beginning with the rudder
push-rod, insert the untaped end through the exit slot on the
right
side of the fuselage.
Pass the wire
forward
, through the hole on the
right
side of former F17, then crossing over
the fuselage centerline to the hole on the
left
side of former F7, and into the radio
compartment.
Repeat this step fro the elevator push rod this time, inserting the push-rod through the exit
slot on the
left
side of the fuselage, the hole on the
left
side of former F17, and then
crossing over the fuselage centerline to the hole on the
right
side of former F7.
