8. Use four 2mm x 7mm [5/64" x 9/32"] self-tapping washer

head screws to finish fastening the end struts in place as
shown. Once you have determined that the wing is straight,
with no twists, use thin CA to glue the strut mounts into the
strut mount pockets. IMPORTANT: Do not glue the struts to
the strut mounts.

9. Glue the cheek vents in place as shown. You will need

to remove the screw from the front of the “V” strut and slide
the cheek in place. Use a felt-tip pen to make a mark to show
where to drill. Once the hole is drilled, simply slide the cheek
vent in place and re-install the 2mm x 7mm [5/64" x 9/32"]
self-tapping washer head screw.

10. Use CA to glue one ABS side vent on each side of the

fuselage as shown.

1. Locate the radio compartment cover and secure it to the

fuselage with four 2mm x 7mm [5/64" x 9/32"] self-tapping
washer head screws as shown. Remove the screws and
harden the holes with thin CA. Then, reinstall the screws.

2. Carefully thread the axle through the sub-wing and

attach the rear landing gear strut followed by the front
landing gear strut as shown. The rear strut is identified by a
second hole near the axle hole.

3. Secure the sub-wing to the landing gear with two

2mm x 6mm [5/64" x 9/32"] self-tapping screws as shown.
Remove the screws and harden the holes with thin CA. Then,
reinstall the screws.
