STEP 10: If you have a 600 class kit, apply the 0.010” x 20” tape you
prepared in STEP 9 to the aircraft as illustrated. Please note, the tape
shown in this photo is only for positioning. You will need to remove
the adhesive backing before installing the tape. Align the center mark
you made in STEP 9 with the joint line on the fuselage. Position the
edge of the tape approximately 1/4” from the trailing edge of the
wing as shown. When applying the LEXAN
(TM)
tape, rub the tape into
the wing vigorously using your thumb or a blunt object such as a
screwdriver handle. Note: the very-high-bond adhesive will “cure” to
about 50% of its bonding strength immediately. Full strength will be
attained within 24 hours.
STEP 11: Using a sharp hobby knife, cut the fuselage to extend the
servo wire slots straight through the walls of the fuselage and into
the battery compartment. These slots should be about 1/8” deep.
When you install the servos, the servo wires will pass under the
equipment tray and enter the fuselage through the walls of the
battery compartment. This arrangement ensures that the servo wires
will be well concealed, protected and will not impede the air flow
over the wings.
STEP 13: The equipment tray and canopy supplied with your kit are
rough cut about 1/4” outside the final shape required. Using scissors,
a hobby knife, or tin snips, trim the outside of the plastic equipment
tray and canopy to shape along the ledge that is molded into the
parts. It works best to hold the assemblies upside down. Be careful
when cutting the tray to leave the 1/4” lip on the back of the part.
This lip increases the strength of the part and also aids in lining up the
part during installation. After you have cut the parts to shape,
smooth the edges using sand paper.
STEP 12: Insert the servos into the molded slots in the wings. Using
a dowel rod or the like, press the servo wires into the servo wire slots
in the wing as illustrated. Do not use a screw driver or other sharp
instrument to install the servo wires or you may cut the wires.
TIP: When using a hobby knife, always make certain to cut away from yourself and your other hand to prevent injury!
