BUILDING STAND
A building stand or cradle comes in handy during the build.
We use the Robart Super Stand II (ROBP1402) for all our
projects in R&D, and it can be seen in pictures throughout
this manual.
PREPARATIONS
1. If you have not done so already, remove the major parts
of the kit from the box and inspect for damage. If any parts
are damaged or missing, contact Product Support.
2. Remove the tape and separate all the control surfaces.
Use a covering iron with a covering sock on high heat to
tighten the covering if necessary. Apply pressure over sheeted
areas to thoroughly bond the covering to the wood.
BUILD THE WING PANELS
INSTALL THE AILERONS
Do the right wing fi rst so your work matches the photos
the fi rst time through. You can do one wing at a time, or
work on them together.
1. Drill a 3/32" [2.4mm] hole 1/2" [13mm] deep into the
center of each hinge slot in the aileron and wing panel. Trim
the covering away from each hinge slot to ensure that the
hinges will be properly glued in place.
2. Test fi t a CA hinge into each of the hinge slots in the
wing panel and aileron. If necessary, enlarge the slots with
a hobby knife. When satisfi ed with the fi t, insert a CA hinge
halfway into each hinge slot in the wing panel. Push a pin
through the middle of each hinge to keep them centered.
