Sheet metal screws are designated by a number and a length.
For example, #6 x 3/4" [19mm].
This is a number six screw that is 3/4" [19mm] long.
Machine screws are designated by a number, threads per
inch, and a length – for example, 4-40 x 3/4" [19mm].
This is a number four screw that is 3/4" [19mm] long
with forty threads per inch.
When you see the term test fit in the instructions, it means
that you should first position the part on the assembly
without using any glue, then slightly modify or
custom fit
the part as necessary for the best fit.
Whenever the term glue is written you should rely upon
your experience to decide what type of glue to use. When a
specific type of adhesive works best for that step, the
instructions will make a recommendation.
Whenever just epoxy is specified you may use either
30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy or 6-minute epoxy.
Photos and sketches are placed before the step they refer
to. Frequently you can study photos in following steps to get
another view of the same parts.
The Giant U-CAN-DO 3D ARF is factory-covered with Top
Flite MonoKote
® film. Should repairs ever be required,
MonoKote can be patched with additional MonoKote
purchased separately. MonoKote is packaged in six-foot rolls,
but some hobby shops also sell it by the foot. If only a small
piece of MonoKote is needed for a minor patch, perhaps a
fellow modeler would give you some. MonoKote is applied with
a model airplane covering iron, but in an emergency a regular
iron could be used. A roll of MonoKote includes full instructions
for application. Following are the colors used on this model
and order numbers for six foot rolls.
Jet White – TOPQ0204
Medium Purple – TOPQ0225
Sky Blue – TOPQ0206
Pink – TOPQ0215
