1. Glue the wing tips to the wing using foam-safe CA glue
or epoxy. Be careful when gluing the tips as any excess will be
difficult to clean up from the foam wing. Do not use alcohol to
clean away epoxy. Alcohol will remove the paint from the foam.
Use tape to hold the tips in place while the glue cures. Make
sure to test the tape to insure it will not remove the finish. When
the glue has cured, apply a fillet of glue along the top of the
wing at the wing tips and let it cure undisturbed.

2. After your model is assembled, the only way to remove
the ducted fan unit for repair or replacement is to cut it out
from the bottom. Because of this, we suggest marking the
location of the ducted fan unit on the underside of the
fuselage. You can do this by pushing T-pins through the
inside of the fuse along the edges of the fan housing. The
holes left on the underside of the fuselage from the T-pins
can be connected with a drawn line for future reference. If at
any time you need to remove the fan unit, use a hobby knife
to cut along the holes left by the T-pins to extract the unit out
of the bottom of the fuselage.

3. Mix up approximately 3/8 oz [11 g] of epoxy to glue the
ducted fan unit into the fuselage duct channel. Coat the
recessed area in the fuselage where the fan unit will be
installed with a thin coat of epoxy. Press the fan unit into place
and wipe away any excess epoxy with a dry paper towel.
❏
4. Make a mark 5-1/4" [133 mm] from the front in the
center of the duct channel top.

Before building the model, please follow the assembly and
break-in instructions that can be found in the manual that
accompanies the ducted fan unit. If you plan to substitute
a brushless motor into the ducted fan unit, do so before
gluing the unit into the aircraft. The EDF manual includes
information about brushless motor usage.
