ASSEMBLE THE FUSELAGE
Fit the Wing to the Fuselage
❏
1. Bolt the wing to the fuselage with the plastic wing bolt
plate. Use a fi ne-point felt-tip pen to mark the outline of the
bolt plate on the wing.
❏
2. Remove the wing from the fuselage and lightly cut 1/16"
[1mm] inside the line you marked for the plate. Use a paper
towel square lightly dampened with denatured alcohol to wipe
away the ink line (too much alcohol will wick the ink under the
covering). Peel the covering from the top of the wing.
❏
3. Using care not to get any glue on the threads of the bolt,
glue the wing bolt plate into position by bolting the assembly
to the fuselage.
Glue on the Tail Surfaces
❏
1. Same as was done for the aileron horns, wet the plywood
elevator and rudder horns with thin CA, and allow the CA to
harden. Then, mount the screw-lock connectors and glue
the horns into place.
❏
2. Test-fi t, but do not glue the horizontal stabilizer (stab)
to the vertical stabilizer (fi n) and install (but do not glue)
the wood elevator joiner. Move the elevators up and down,
making sure the joiner clears the curved slot. Make any
adjustments necessary so the elevator will move smoothly.
