PYLON ASSEMBLY
£
1
Locate P-1; you will be installing components one side first
and then on the remaining side.
The pylon assembly under way. The ribs are split and
tabs on the ribs fit into notches on the pylon core. The
notches in the upper corners of the assembly will re-
ceive the rubber hooks.
£
2 Install the vertical brace P-5 into P-1, note that the notches are
polarized and can only be installed one way.
£
3 Install ribs P-2, P-3 and P-4.
£
4
Flip the assembly over and install the remaining P-5, P-2, P3
and P-4.
£
5 Install P-6 and P-7, these will provide pockets for the rubber
hooks to fit into.
£
6 The pylon skins are supplied as two parts that must be as-
sembled prior to installation. Locate the pylon skins and glue
them together. Before installing, sand them smooth while still
flat. Then install onto the pylon assembly.
£
7 Sand the leading and trailing edges of the pylon to shape.
The nearly completed pylon assembly ready for cover-
ing. The rubber hooks slide into pockets in the pylon
core after shaping the leading and trailing edges. The
alignment tongue will slide into a notch in the bottom
of the pylon and fit into a slot in the top of the fuselage
for perfect alignment when installed.
£
8
Use Epoxy to install the rubber hooks, PHF in the front and
PHA at the aft edge.
£
9 Wing platform WP is provided in three sections and must be
assembled. Glue these three sections together and then install
onto the pylon.
£
10 Install alignment tongue AT into the bottom of the pylon in the
slot provided.
£
11 Install the 1/8” pylon rails PR onto the wing platform on
each side of the platform.
FUSELAGE ASSEMBLY
3
£
1 The fuselage bottom and sides are supplied in two sections and must be assembled before beginning the
fuselage. Locate these parts and glue them together. Note that there is a left and a right side due to the built
in side and down thrust. Pay close attention to the labeling on these parts as they are not interchangeable.
It’s best to pair up these parts and lay them out prior to gluing. When gluing the sections together, butt
them up against a straight edge to assure that they are assembled straight.
£
2
Locate the left fuselage side FS-LEFT and the left fuselage side doubler FD-LEFT. Use the pinning
method described at the beginning of this manual to laminate these two components. The doubler will be
on the inside of the fuselage. Install the aft fuselage doubler in the same manner.
£
3
Locate the right fuselage side FS-RIGHT and the right side fuselage doubler FD-RIGHT and once again
using the pinning method, glue them together. Install the aft fuselage doubler in the same manner.
