1. If you have not yet done so already, remove the major

parts of the kit from the box (wings, fuse, wheel pants, cowl,
tail parts, etc.) and inspect them for damage. If any parts are
damaged or missing, contact Product Support at the
address or telephone number on page 6.

2. Remove the masking tape and separate the ailerons

from the wing, the rudder from the fin and the elevators from
the stab. Where necessary, use a covering iron with a
covering sock to tighten the covering that may have
loosened during storage or from removing the masking
tape. Apply pressure over sheeted areas to thoroughly
bond the covering to the wood.

1. Use epoxy to glue both 1/8" [3.2mm] plywood wing

joiners together.

2. Test fit the aileron servo in the 1/8" [3.2mm] plywood

aileron servo mount. If necessary, trim the opening in the
mount to accommodate the servo.

3. Cut the sheeting over the aileron servo mounting area

in the right wing panel to accommodate the servo. As you
can see in following photos, the servo will be centered in the
wing after the two panels are joined. Test fit the servo and
the ply servo mount to the wing panel. Trim the center rib as
necessary to accommodate the servo and the servo wire.

4. Prepare the other wing panel the same way.

5. Trim the covering from the ribs on the end of both wing

panels. This is easily done with a bar sander and medium-grit
sandpaper as shown.
