7. Trim, then glue the tail skid to the center of the bottom
of the fuselage.
Refer to this photo while mounting the bungee hook.

8. While you’re working on the bottom of the wing, cut
the covering from the hole for the bungee hook. Use a pin
to perforate the covering around the hole, Then harden the
balsa under the covering by saturating with thin CA—use
care not to get any CA into the blind nut under the sheeting.

9. Add a drop of threadlocker to the threads on the bungee
hook. Then thread a 3mm nut all the way onto the bungee
hook. Install a washer, then screw the hook into the hole.
Apply the Hand Grips
The no-slip hand grips may seem unnecessary, but they really
do assist when gripping the fuselage for bungee launching.
The last thing you want is for the plane to slip out of your
hands before you’re ready!
Remove the protective backing from the included no-slip
hand grips, then adhere them to both sides of the fuselage
where shown.
Apply the Decals
The decals are applied “wet,” with window cleaner. This
allows for precise positioning and after you squeegee out
the window cleaner from under the decal there will be no air
bubbles (as there usually are when you apply them dry).
1. Use scissors or a sharp hobby knife to cut each decal from
the sheet.
2. Be certain the model is clean and free from oily fi ngerprints
and dust. Peel the fi rst decal you wish to apply from its
protective backing. Then spray the back of the decal with
window cleaner.
3. Position the decal where desired and adjust for perfection.
Use a piece of soft balsa or something similar to squeegee
the window cleaner from under the decal. Apply the rest of
the decals the same way.
