2. Locate the landing gear fairings and trial fit around
the landing gear wire as shown in the photo. When satisfied
with the fit, glue them into place with 6-minute epoxy, joining
the halves as you do. Clamp in place until the epoxy is
thoroughly cured.
❏
3. File a flat spot on the gear wires and attach the main
wheels with the four 3/16" [4.8mm] wheel collars supplied
with the model. Also attach the tail wheel with the 3/32"
[2.4mm] wheel collar. Use thread-lock on the set screws to
prevent them from coming loose in flight.
❏
1. Apply the decals as shown in the photo. The easiest
and most accurate way to position the decals is to first cut
them from the sheet. When ready to apply one of the decals,
even though these are the sticky back type, submerge it in a
tub of warm water mixed with liquid dish soap (about a
tablespoon of soap per gallon of water) and peel the decal
from the backing. Lay the decal on the model and position it
exactly where you want it. Use a paper towel to wipe away
most of the water, then use a soft balsa sheet or something
similar to squeegee the rest of the water from under the
decal. Allow to dry overnight before flying the model.

2. On our model we placed a black trim stripe cut from
a black Top Flite MonoKote Trim Sheet (TOPQ4109).
❏
3. As instructed before you will note that we painted the
two cockpits flat black. We also placed a 1/4-scale Williams
Brothers Scale Pilot (WBRQ2625) inside the rear cockpit
for added realism.
❏
4. Apply the decals for the instrument panel as shown
in the photo. Locate the two molded windscreens. Carefully
cut the excess plastic away. Mask and paint the frames of
the windscreens with Formula-U or Cheveron black paint.
When the paint is completely dry glue them into position
using R/C-56 Canopy Glue (JOZR5007).
❏
1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver and center the
trim tabs. If necessary, remove the servo arms from the
servos and reposition them so they are centered. Reinstall
the screws that hold on the servo arms.
❏
2. With the transmitter and receiver still on, check all the
control surfaces to see if they are centered. If necessary, adjust
the clevises on the pushrods to center the control surfaces.
