Top Flite TOPQ7900 - Manual

TANK ASSEMBLY
❑
1. Lightly sand the outside of the drop tank halves with 400-grit
sandpaper. This will help the primer and paint adhere to the surface.
❑ 2. Draw a line around the perimeter of each tank half about 1/8"
larger than the tank. This will leave a 1/8" flange for gluing.
❑
3. Trim off the excess plastic with scissors or a hobby knife. Use
220-grit sandpaper to even up the edge of the flanges.
❑ 4. Use 220 or 150-grit sandpaper to roughen the inside of the
flange where the two halves will be glued together.
❑
5. The supplied 0.046" dia x 3" steel wire supplied needs to be bent
by following these steps:
❑ A. Mark the midpoint on the wire.
WARBIRD DROP TANK
INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for purchasing the Top Flite 75 Gallon Drop Tank kit.
This tank will add a great deal of realism and presence to many
1/7th scale warbirds. The tank is lightweight and easy to assem-
ble and finish. It is easy to make droppable on a warbird under
construction. If you are going to add it to a model that is already
built, it would be easier to make it removable manually, without
servo control.
