1. Cut the cockpit fl oor on the cut lines as shown.
It is best to use a sharp hobby knife to do the cutting.
Using a scissor can sometimes cause the plastic to
crack at the corners.

2. Cut the left and right sidewalls on the cut lines
as shown.

3. Glue the cockpit fl oor into the fuselage followed
by the two side walls. When the glue has dried glue
the seat to the pedestal molded into the cockpit fl oor.

panel. Complete the cockpit by gluing the instrument
panel, control stick and headrest in place as shown.

will be installing a pilot, glue it in place now.

6. We installed the canopy using R/C Z 56. This
fl exible glue adheres well to MonoKote and dries
completely clear. Glue the canopy to the fuselage
Tape it in place until the glue has completely dried.
APPLY THE DECALS
Use the following instructions to 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.
