• There are two types of screws used in this kit:
Sheet metal screws are designated by a number and a
length. For example #6 x 3/4" [19mm].
This is a number six (6) screw that is 3/4" [19mm] long.
Machine screws are designated by a number, threads per
inch, and a length. For example 4-40 x 3/4" [19mm]. SHCS
is just an abbreviation for “socket head cap screw” which is
a machine screw with a socket head.
This is a number four (4) screw that is 3/4" [19mm] long
with forty (40) threads per inch.
• 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 Venus 40 ARF 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.
True Red – TOPQ0227
