6. With the fi ber drop tank retainer in place on the
release pin, slide the top half of the drop tank onto the
retainer. When positioning the tank on the retainer be
sure the alignment pins in the drop tank are installed
into the pod. Once you are satisfi ed with the positioning
of the pod, apply a drop of CA glue to tack glue the
retainer to the drop tank. Once the glue hardens operate
the servo several times to make sure the release pin
consistently slides freely into and out of the retainer.

hardwood blocks and glue them to the retainer and the

9. Locate the foam drop tank insert and glue it to the
front of the top half of the drop tank.

10. Once the glue has hardened on the foam insert
glue the two halves of the drop tank together, taping the
two halves together while the glue dries. We found that
using white aliphatic glue like RC Z56 glue works well
because it has a long working time, cleans up easily
with water and dries clear.
