ASSEMBLE THE SEATS:
❏ ❏
1. Cut the front seat bottom and back on the embossed cut line.
❏ ❏
2. The front seat consists of the bottom, back and vinyl tubing for
the seat back. Trim the seat back as needed to get a good fit between
the back and bottom.
❏ ❏
3. Hold the seat back and bottom together with masking tape. Be
sure the back is in the recess in the back of the seat bottom. The seat
back should angle toward the rear of the cabin a few degrees. Glue the
seat back in position by “wicking” a few drops of thin CA into the joint
along the bottom and sides. Remove the tape after the CA has cured.
❏ ❏
4. From the 36" slit vinyl tube, cut off a 13" piece and fit it around
the edge of the seat back. “Wick” some thin CA into the slit to attach the
tube to the back.
❏ ❏
5. Make pedestals from 1/4" balsa (not included). Cut two pieces
2-1/2" x 2-1/2" and glue them to the underside of the seat. This will raise
the seats to the proper height.You may wish to add some leftover balsa to
the front and back of the pedestal. This will close off the bottom of the seat
as is shown on the cover photo of these instructions. This is optional.
❏
6. Assemble the remaining front seat the same way.
❏
7. Cut the rear seat bottom and back on the embossed cut line. Trim the
seat back as needed to get a good fit between the back and bottom.
❏
8. The seat bottom is identified by the notch in the rear of the seat. Hold
the seat back to the seat bottom with masking tape. The seat back should
angle toward the rear of the cabin a few degrees. Glue the seat back in
position by “wicking” a few drops of thin CA into the joint along the bottom
and sides. Remove the tape after the CA has cured.
