2. Glue a magnet into the fuselage hatch and one into
the fuselage. The magnets should be attracted to each
other when the hatch is installed. The fuselage hatch is for
occasional radio access, so a handle is not included. When
access is needed, use a small, fl athead screwdriver to pry
the aft end of the hatch away from the fuse.

3. Attach the propeller and spinner to the prop adapter.

4. Before attaching the canopy, apply the instrument panel
decal to the cockpit. The canopy can be taped in position
as shown.
Apply the Decals
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
fi ngerprints 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 decal 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.
