• There are two types of screws used in this kit:
• Sheet metal screws (SMS) are designated by a number
and a length. For example #6 x 3/4" [19 mm]
This is a number six screw that is 3/4" [19 mm] long.
• Machine screws (MS) are designated by a number,
threads per inch, and a length. For example 4-40 x
3/4" [19 mm].
This is a number four screw that is 3/4" [19 mm] long
with forty threads per inch.
• Socket head cap screws (SHCS) are designated by a
number, threads per inch, and a length. For example
4-40 x 1-1/2" [38 mm]
This is a number four screw that is 1-1/2" [38 mm] long
with forty 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 Yak 54 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.
Metallic Blue – TOPQ0402
Metallic Red – TOPQ0405
White – TOPQ0204
• The stabilizer and wing incidences and engine thrust
angles have been factory-built into this model. However,
some technically-minded modelers may wish to check these
measurements anyway. To view this information visit the web
site at www.greatplanes.com and click on “Technical Data.”
Due to manufacturing tolerances which will have little or no
effect on the way your model will fly, please expect slight
deviations between your model and the published values.
