IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES
•
There are several types of screws used in this kit:
Self-tapping or sheet metal screws
are designated by a number and a
length . For example, #6 x 3/4" [19mm] .
Machine screws are designated by a
number, threads per inch, and a length .
For example, 4-40 x 3/4" [19mm] .
Socket Head Cap Screws (SHCS) are
designated by a number, threads per
inch, and a length . For example, 4-40 x
3/4" [19mm]
•
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 . When
30-minute epoxy is specified it is highly recommended that
you use only 30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy, because you
will need the working time and/or the additional strength .
•
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 Great Planes Giant Matt Chapman Eagle 580 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 .
Cub Yellow TOPQ0220
Sapphire Blue TOPQ0227
Missile Red TOPQ0201
Orange TOPQ0202
Black TOPQ0208

angles have been factory-built into this model . However,
some technically-minded modelers may wish to check
these measurements anyway . To view this information
