Great Planes Top Speed - GPMB1050 - Manual (Page 4)

NOTE: Notice that the outboard engine protrudes from the
bottom of the hull and is very susceptible to damage.
Therefore, you must use care to avoid setting the boat down
on any surface. In the following steps you will assemble the
“test stand.” Always keep your boat on this stand when it is
not in the water.
❏
1. From the two die-cut plywood sheets, remove the
Stand Sides and Cross Members (Large). Save the Servo
Trays from the center of the cross members (L) for use later
in the manual.
❏
2. From the remaining die-cut plywood sheet, remove the
Cross Member (Small).
❏
3. Sand the outer edges of all the parts to remove any
sharps corners.
❏
4. Slide the two cross members (L) onto the sides as
shown in the photo. Slide the cross member (S) onto the
front of the sides (there is a slight upward curve at the front).
❏
5. Apply a few drops of medium CA glue to the joints
where the cross members meet the sides. The glue will
penetrate the wood and form a bond within a few minutes.
❏
6. Once the CA has fully cured, it is suggested to apply a
coat of clear sealer onto the stand. Top Flite ® LustreKote ™
Clear (TOPR7200) works extremely well for this purpose.
Applying a coat of clear will prevent water and fuel from
entering the wood, which will weaken the stand prematurely.
❏
1. Sand the inside and outside edges of the die-cut ply
servo trays using 320-grit sandpaper. Test fit the servo trays
in the radio box, sanding the edges of the trays as
necessary for a good fit. The servo trays rest on the ledges
molded into the Radio Box.
