HAND SANDER

handle sanding tool is a
necessity for building a well finished model. Great
Planes makes a complete range of

IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES
There are two types of screws used i\n this kit:
number and a length.
Sheet metal screws are designated by a
For example #4 x 5/8":
Machine screws are designated by a number,
threads per inch, and a length.
For example 4-40 x 3/4":
When you see the term test fit i n the
instructions, it means that you should first position
the part on the assembly without using any glue,
then slightly modify or
custom fit the part as
necessary for the best fit.
.
Whenever the term
glue
is used this means you
should rely upon your experience to decide what
type of glue to use. When a specific type of
adhesive works best for that step we will tell you
what type of glue to use.
Whenever just
epoxy
is specified you may use
either 30-minute epoxy or 6-minute epoxy. When
30-minute epoxy is specified it is highly
recommended that you use only 30-minute epoxy
because you will need the working time and/or the
additional strength.

Occasionally we refer to the top or bottom of the
model or
up
or down. To avoid confusion, the top
or bottom of the model is as it would be when the
airplane is right side up and will be referred to as
the top even if the model is upside down during
that step, i.e. the top main spar is always the top
main spar even if the wing is upside down when
you are working on it. Similarly, move the former
up means move the former toward the top of the
fuselage even if the fuselage
is
upside down when
you are working on it.
Incidence and Thrust Angles: The incidence
angles and down thrust angles shown on the
fuselage side view are in reference to the stepped
main fuselage stringer (the 1/4" x 3/8" x 36"
stepped stringer), which is set at 0". The right
thrust shown on the bottom view is in reference to
the centerline of the fuselage. Remember, this is
