Dynaflite DYFA3040 - Manual (Page 35)

to wipe away excess CA. If you spill a few
drops of CA on the MonoKote® film you
can use CA Debonder (GPMR6039) to remove
it. Or wait until the CA fully cures, then
carefully lift it off with a hobby knife blade.
Do not use accelerator on any of the
hinges. Do not glue the hinges with
anything other than thin CA and do not
attempt to glue one half of the hinge at a
time with medium or thick CA. They will
not be secure and the control surfaces
could separate while the model is flying.
F. Let the CA fully cure, then flex the elevator
several times to check the movement.
G. Use the same procedure to hinge the
rudder, ailerons and flaps.
D 1.You may cover and finish your model now
if you desire. We prefer to install the radio
before finishing so we don't add any hanger
rash to our finished model. You may also want
to remove the engine.
Our radio installation consisted of the following:
A. One high torque servo for each aileron.
B. One standard size servo for each flap.
C. One high torque servo for each elevator,
with a separate pushrod for each.
D. One high torque servo for the rudder.
E. One standard size servo for the throttle.
F. We used a 1200 mAh battery pack to
allow for the additional servo drain.
While this is a large aircraft, it does not fly very
fast. We have found that the above installation
has worked very well.
Q 2. If you have not done so already, fuelproof
the engine and tank areas. Final sand the model.
Ul 3. Cover the model. We used Top Flite Super
MonoKote on the prototype model. For the
primary white color (TOPQ0204) we used two
six foot rolls for the wing and one six foot roll
for the fuselage. We used one can of Top Flite
LustreKote® Missile Red (TOPR7201) paint
sprayed directly on the white MonoKote. For
the black anti-glare area in front of the canopy
we used some flat black (TOPQ0508) we had
leftover from an earlier project.
Q 4. After you have finished covering, finish the
hinge installation as covered previously.
Q 5. Finish the cockpit area and install your pilots.
Q 6. Fit the canopy to the fuselage. The canopy
is supplied in two parts; a short front
windscreen area and a larger aft section. On the
full-size aircraft this large aft section would slide
aft for the pilots to enter. To install your canopy,
cut and fit the sections to the fuselage.Trim and
fit the area where the front and aft sections fit
together. Carefully cut the covering where they
will be glued to the fuselage so that the canopy
can be adhered to the wood. Use tape or paint
to detail the frame lines. We used RC-56 glue to
glue the completed canopy to the fuselage.
Q 7. Install your fuel system. We used a 16 oz.
tank (GPMQ4107) and a refueling valve
(GPMQ4160). If you are installing a gasoline
engine be sure to use a gasoline compatible
tank, refueling valve and fuel line. We mounted
our tank to the bottom deck on a layer of 1/4"
foam (HCAAIOOO).The tank is held in position
with some leftover 1/4" x 3/8" basswood sticks.
Q 8. Paint the cowl. We usedTop Flite LustreKote
white (TOPR7204), missile red (TOPR7201) and
flat black (TOPR7209).
