o 10. Locate the two carbon brace supports. There is a slit
located in the center of each wing. With the Yak on its back,
glue the carbon brace supports into the slits on the underside
of the wing. It is possible that, during manufacturing, some
glue has gotten into the slit. If this is the case,
DO NOT
FORCE the carbon brace support into the slit. Simply clear
the glue with a hobby knife.
o 11. Locate the two 13-7/16" x 3/64" [340 x 1mm] carbon
rods, and two 13" x 3/64" [330 x 1mm] carbon rods. Insert
a 13-7/16" [340mm] rod through the landing gear plate and
through the carbon brace support. Thread a plastic carbon
brace doubler onto the carbon rod. Place the end of the
carbon rod into the slit at the trailing edge of the wing. Glue
the carbon rod into the wing. Slide the carbon brace doubler
over the slit, and glue it to the wing.
DO NOT glue the carbon
to the fuselage at this time. Repeat this step for the other
side of the wing.
o 12. Slide the 13" [330mm] carbon rod through the aft
fuselage slit. Thread a carbon brace doubler onto the rod
and thread the rod through the carbon brace support. Thread
a second carbon brace doubler onto the rod, and place the
carbon rod into the slit located close to the wing leading
edge. Glue the carbon rod into the wing. Slide the carbon
brace doubler over the slit, and glue it to the wing.
DO NOT
glue the carbon to the fuselage or to the brace support
at this time. Repeat this step for the other side of the wing.
o 13. Locate the two 6-3/16" [157mm]carbon rods. Thread
two carbon brace doublers onto the rods. Place one end of
each rod into the slot on the fuselage and the other end of
the rod into the slot at the tip of the horizontal stabilizer. Glue
the rod to the horizontal stabilizer. Slide one of the carbon
brace doublers over the slit and glue it to the stabilizer.
DO
NOT glue the carbon to the fuselage at this time.
