8. Lay the bottom of the wing flat on the bench.
IMPORTANT! The top of the wing is the side that has the two
servo rails. Temporarily place the fin into the slot at the end of
the tube. Rotate the tube until the fin is 90 degrees to the
bench. Use a triangle to verify that the fin is set at 90-degrees.
❏
9. Once you are satisfied with the placement, use CA to
glue the fuselage tube to the wing at the leading edge, the
main web and the trailing edge.
❏
10. Locate the die-cut 1/16" [1.6mm] ply top and bottom
trailing edge reinforcement. Glue one to the top of the
trailing edge and one to the bottom of the trailing edge as
shown in the photo. Apply them at the same time and use
your fingers to apply equal pressure to the top and bottom
at the same time. Any gap you have can be filled with
medium or thick CA and hardened with CA accelerator.
❏
11. Hold the die-cut 1/16" [1.6mm] ply engine thrust
gauge on the top of the fuselage tube. Sand the front of the
tube to match the angle of the gauge to provide the correct
motor down thrust.
Landing gear is optional on the Fundango. With gear, hand-
launching is not necessary as the plane can take-off and
land on hard surfaces. The landing gear also protects the
propeller on rough landings. The gear does, however, add
weight and drag. If you fly over grassy areas you may
consider omitting the gear. Soft landings in the grass are
done easily without damaging the propeller.
❏
1. Cut the 1/16" x 30" [1.6 x 760mm] wire into three
pieces of 15-5/8" [397mm], 6" [152mm] and 9" [230mm].
❏
2. Bend the 15" [380mm] wire as shown on the landing
gear template on the plan.
❏
3. Use a felt-tip pen to mark the wire 1" [25mm] from the
top as shown in the drawing. Bend the wire back at a 90
degree angle.
❏
4. Cut the gear in half as shown in the photo and the drawing.
