*NOTE: On our workbench, we have four 11" T-
Bar sanders, equipped with #50, #80, #100 and
#150-grit sandpaper. This setup is all that is
required for almost any sanding task. We also keep
some #320-grit wet-or-dry sandpaper handy for
finish sanding before covering.
1. Unroll the plan sheet. Re-roll it inside out to make
it lie flat. NOTE: You may cut the plan into two sections
("wing" and "fuselage"), by cutting along the "cut
line'' shown on the plan.
2. Remove all parts from the box. As you do, figure
out the name of each part by comparing it with the plans
and the parts list. Using a felt tip pen, write the part name
or size on each piece to avoid confusion later. Use the
die-cut patterns shown on page 5 to identify the die-cut
parts and mark them before punching out. Save all
scraps. If any of the die-cut parts arc difficult to punch
out, do not force them! Instead, first cut around the parts
with an Xacto knife. Afterpunching out the die-cut parts,
use your T-Bar or sanding block to lightly sand the edges
to remove any die-cutting irregularities.
3. As you identify and mark the parts, separate them
into groups, such as fuse (fuselage), wing, fin and stab
(stabilizer), and hardware.
