5. Attach the cowl with four #2 x 3/8" [9.5mm] screws and
four #2 flat washers. Install the propeller and spinner onto
the prop shaft using the hardware that came with the engine
or motor.
❏
6. Align the canopy on the fuselage and use tape to hold
it in place. Drill six 1/16" [1.6mm] holes (three per side) along
the bottom edges of the canopy 3/16" [4.8mm] below the
cockpit base of the fuselage. Thread a #2 x 3/8" [9.5mm]
screw into each hole and back it out. Remove the canopy
and add a drop of thin CA glue to each hole. After the glue
has hardened, install the canopy using six #2 x 3/8" [9.5mm]
screws and six #2 flat washers.
1. Use scissors or a sharp hobby knife to cut the decals from
the sheet.
2. Be certain the model is clean and free from oily
fingerprints and dust. Prepare a dishpan or small bucket with
a mixture of liquid dish soap and warm water—about one
teaspoon of soap per gallon of water. Submerse the decal in
the soap and water and peel off the paper backing. Note:
Even though the decals have a “sticky-back” and are not the
water transfer type, submersing them in soap & water allows
accurate positioning and reduces air bubbles underneath.
3. Position the decals on the model where desired. Holding the
decal down, use a paper towel to wipe most of the water away.
4. Use a piece of soft balsa or something similar to
squeegee remaining water from under the decal. Apply the
rest of the decals the same way.

1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver and center the
trims. If necessary, remove the servo arms from the servos
and reposition them so they are centered. Reinstall the
screws that hold on the servo arms.
❏
2. With the transmitter and receiver still on, check all the
control surfaces to see if they are centered. If necessary, adjust
the clevises on the pushrods to center the control surfaces.
❏
3. Make certain that the control surfaces and the throttle
respond in the correct direction as shown in the diagram. If
any of the controls respond in the wrong direction, use the
servo reversing in the transmitter to reverse the servos
connected to those controls. Be certain the control surfaces
have remained centered. Adjust if necessary.
