Install the Canopy/Hatch
❏
11. The base of the canopy hatch has a partial laser cut
line that is cut through the majority of the perimeter of the
hatch. If you wish to remove the base of the hatch to install
additional cockpit details of your choice, use a sharp hobby
knife to fi nish the cut lines. If you choose to not remove the
base, apply a bead of medium or thick CA glue around the
cut lines and allow it to harden.
❏
12. We recommend gluing a #4 fl at washer to each of the
two 4-40 x 3/4" [19mm] SHCS for the canopy hatch. This will
reduce the chance of losing the washers at the fl ying fi eld.
❏
13. Fit the canopy hatch in place and secure it with the
two 4-40 x 3/4" [19mm] SHCS you prepared in the previous
step.

14. This completes the assembly of the Christen Eagle
.46 ARF!
Apply the Decals
1. Be certain the model is clean and free from oily fi ngerprints
and dust. Prepare a dishpan or small bucket with a mixture
of liquid dish soap and warm water—about one teaspoon of
soap per gallon of water. Submerse the decal in the soap and
water and peel off the paper backing. Note: Even though the
decals have a “sticky-back” and are not the water transfer
type, submersing them in soap & water allows accurate
positioning and reduces air bubbles underneath.
2. Position decal on the model where desired. Holding the
decal down, use a paper towel to wipe most of the water
away.
3. Use a piece of soft balsa or something similar to squeegee
remaining water from under the decal. Apply the rest of the
decals the same way.
