BUILDING NOTES

When you see the term “cut and fit” in the

instructions, it means you should first position the
part on the assembly without using any glue.
Slightly modify or shape the part as necessary for
the best fit. Do not glue unless instructed to do so.

Throughout the assembly of this model, thin CA

should be used unless the step calls for another
type of adhesive. If your parts do not fit well,
substitute medium or thick CA.

Whenever just “epoxy” is called for, you may use

either 30-minute epoxy or 6-minute epoxy. When
30-minute epoxy is specified, it is highly
recommended that you use only 30-minute epoxy
because you will need either the working time or
the additional strength.

CA accelerator causes CA glues to react

immediately, but residual accelerator can
prematurely cure CA on nearby joints even
hours later.

During construction you will be using a number of

balsa sticks to frame various assemblies. Ample
material is included but you should study the
plans, then make an effort to cut the longest
pieces you will need first. Label the pieces for later

reference as you cut them. By doing this now, you
won't have to splice pieces together later.

Do not throw away any leftover material until after

you have completed your model. Some small
pieces of leftover balsa or plywood are used
during construction.
