instead: #57 (.043" [1mm]), #55 (.052" [1.3mm])
OPTIONAL SUPPLIES AND TOOLS
Here is a list of optional items mentioned in the manual that
will help you build the Chipmunk 400.
Williams Brothers 1/8-scale Sportsman pilot
(WBRQ1130)
#2x1/4" [6mm] or #2x1/2" [12mm] screws and #2
washers (for mounting optional pilot)
Hobby paints/paint brushes (for painting pilot)

CA debonder (GPMR6039)
CG Machine ™ (GPMR2400)
Power Point Prop Balancer (TOPQ5700)
A model airplane covering iron with a protective
covering sock may also be necessary to retighten
the covering and remove any wrinkles that may have
formed after the model was originally covered at the
factory. If you don’t already have a covering iron,
the 21
st Century ® sealing iron (COVR2700) and 21 st
Century iron cover (COVR2702) are recommended.
PREPARATION
1. Lay three or four
paper towels over each
other and cut the stack
into small squares.
These small paper towel
squares, dampened with
denatured alcohol, will
come in handy for epoxy
cleanup and other general
cleanup during assembly.
2. Remove the masking tape holding all the control
surfaces to their main parts. If necessary, clean off any
residual tape glue with a couple of your paper towel squares
dampened with naphtha (lighter fl uid).
3. Refer to the separate instruction sheet titled How To
Tighten Covering On ARF Models. Follow the instructions
to tighten the covering. If you prefer to get started on
assembly right away, the tightening process could be done
later (but it is usually easiest to do while the model is still in
separate pieces).
