
Make up the canopy parts from C1, C2, the CANOPY FLOOR and CANOPY, then the
major construction is done! Congratulations!
COVERING and FITOUT

The prototype model was covered in iron-on film, however 3/4oz glass-cloth with
water-based polyurethane or epoxy covering would also be suitable, just be careful
about weight. Cut and fit decals as shown in the photos in this manual.

The canopy is best side-hinged with clear packing tape if the model is film-covered.

Make sure the control surfaces are securely fitted, with cyano-type hinges or clear
tape. Confirm that the control throws are close to that specified on the plans, and
that the Centre of Gravity is not behind the position shown on the plans. The model
has been flown with a CG ranging from the plans position to approx 6mm forward of
the plans position, with very good handling characteristics.

Cut out the tailpipe opening, and attach the two fuselage halves with self-tapping
screws. The model was originally designed for the WeMoTec Micro Fan, which uses a
tailpipe opening of around 42mm. This should be opened up to about 46mm for the
Mad Thrust 50mm or XRP-50mm fan as they have larger swept areas. It may also be
necessary to remove some material around the holes in the rear fuselage formers to
take the slightly larger tailpipes on these last two fans.
