crankshaft and the engine mounting plate.
Include the propeller and engine assem-
blies. When you are satisfied that every-
thing properly lines up, remove the engine
assembly and glue the flanges(GR9-20
and GR9-21) and the motor mounting ring
to their respective formers. Glue the
crankshaft into flange(GR9-21) and the
air manifold and fuel pump(GR9-22).
Cabane struts; instrument panel; plumb-
ing:
Referring to full-size Plan D03, locate
the cabane struts(Ni28-068) and attach
them to the longerons. Attach the arc strut
brace(Ni28-076).
Separate the paper gauge faces(Ni28-
???) by cutting away the black rectangle,
then glue them to the back of the instru-
ment panel(Ni28-093) and paint the back
of the paper aluminum. Locate and install
the instrument support bar(WP40264) at
the back of the instrument panel, so it is
visible through the rectangular hole in the
panel. Glue the fuel handle(Ni28-094)to
the hole in the instrument panel and the
choke(C023) in the ring on the right hand
edge of the panel. The lubricator(C062)
attaches to the instrument support bar to
the left of the panel.
tape(WP1860) by first folding the tape in
half lengthwise, adhesive side in, then
trimming to 3/16î wide. Mount the assem-
bly onto the forward most 3x3mm wood
brace, then attach the rudder control
cables to the yoke(Ni28-091), pass them
back through the fuselage, through the
inner two of the bottom four lightening
holes in formers #4-6, then through the
inner two of the four holes in the brace
across former #7. Temporarily tie them
off at former #10.
Engine fittings:
Attach the metal stiffening plates(Ni28-
069 and Ni28-070) to the first and second
formers. Next glue on the cable brace
plates(Ni28-071). Slip the pump and mag-
neto gears(GR9-17) onto their shafts on
the motor mounting ring(GR9-16). They
are loose so they turn freely when the gear
on the engine’s distributor meshes
between them. Temporarily affix them
with tape to avoid losing them before you
install the engine. Assemble the two parts
of the oil tank(Ni28-101) as in Figure 6/5
and glue this to the motor mounting ring.
Paying attention to the order of the
remaining engine accessory parts and
location of the first and second formers
(Figures 6/6 - 6/8) dry fit them with the
Locate the engine control
quadrant(Ni28-099) on the inside of the
upper left longeron. Drill pilot holes for
the mounting pins and glue it in place.
Referring to Figure 6/4 and Plan D03,
locate and install the starter
magneto(Ni28-054) and its handle(Ni28-
055), magneto switch (Ni28-058) to the
inside surface of the upper right longeron;
and the fuel level(Ni28-095) to inside sur-
face of the right 5/64 x 5/64 brace.
Referring to Figure 6/12, connect the
controls and gauges to their respective
units by means of eleven lengths of .031”
brass wire(WP40224SEC) inserted into
5mm lengths of copper spring(A037) to
make the connections. These will fit over
the pins molded into the castings. Take
your time bending and test fitting this
wire. Figure 6/12 is schematic. The actual
plumbing runs should follow the
Longerons. Leave enough extra wire for
the two fuel lines when you attach the fuel
tanks in the next step.
Fuel tanks:
Assemble the main fuel tank frame-
work(Ni28-102a,b,c,d) according to
Figure 6/9. Note that the side that would
face the pilot leans inward, while the
opposite side sits at a 90 degree angle.
