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 5.
❏
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 and the servo openings
to thoroughly bond the covering to the wood.
❏
1. Trim the covering on the wing from
❏
A) The servo wire hole in the top center of the wing;
❏
B) Both servo openings;
❏
C) Dowel hole;
❏
D) Top and Bottom wing-bolt holes.
❏
2. Use your sanding bar to round one end of the 5/16" x
1-3/4" [8 x 70mm] wing dowel. Use epoxy to glue the wing dowel
into the wing, with the rounded end protruding 3/8 " [10mm].
❏
3. Cut eight 3/4" x 1" [19 x 25mm] hinges from the
2" x 9" [50 x 230mm] CA hinge strip. Snip the corners off so
they go in easier.
❏
4. Test fit the hinges in the hinge slots of each aileron and
the wing. If you have difficulty inserting the hinges, insert a
#11 blade into the slot and carefully move it back and forth
to slightly widen the slot.
