Dynaflite DYFA2016 - Manual (Page 29)

U 11. Glue the outer pushrod guide tubes to the
bulkheads with thick or medium CA.
Q 12. Wrap your receiver and battery pack in
foam rubber. Mount them in the fuselage where
shown on the plan. Mount the on/off switch in a
location that will not interfere with the pushrods or
the radio system.
Q 1. Inspect the wing, fuselage and tail surfaces for
glue joints that don't look strong. Reinforce them with
thin or medium CA. Make sure the fuselage bottom
is securely glued to the fuselage sides in the area of
the tow hook anchor.
Q 2. Temporarily fit the 3/16" wing dowels
through the holes in the fuselage. Test fit the wing on
the fuselage. If necessary, adjust the shape of the
fuselage sides and the aft plywood fuselage top
where they fit over the wing.
We recommend you cover your Bobcat with Top Flite
MonoKote iron-on model covering film. If this is one
of the first times you have covered a model, refrain
from attempting a complicated trim scheme. Add
stripes, graphics and various designs to your Bobcat
cut from different colors of MonoKote film. Iron them
directly over the base color. Try only a single color
base (usually a lighter color such as white or yellow)
with perhaps a single stripe, your AMA number or
even some stick-on graphics. A simple trim scheme
will get you in the air faster and look much better
than an ambitious a trim scheme that makes your
model too difficult to cover.
Here is a "rule of thumb" to keep in mind before you
begin: Where possible, apply the covering so all
seams face downward or rearward. You can do
this by covering the bottom (of the wing, fuse, stab,
etc.) first.
Never cut the covering after you iron it to the
wood except near the tips. Modelers who do
this may weaken the structure which could
cause it to fail during flight.
U 3. Remove pushrods, wing dowels, control horns
and any other hardware that may interfere with
covering.
Q 4. Fill dents, scratches and glue joints on the
surface of the model that may show through the
covering with HobbyLite filler. Sand the fuselage so it
is smooth and even.
Tail Surfaces:
1. Stabilizer bottom right and left half
2. Stabilizer top
3. Fin right, then left side
4. Rudder
5. Elevator
