❑ Kwik Bond Thin C/A
❑ # 1 Phillips Head Screwdriver
❑ Scissors
❑ Electric Drill
❑ 1/16" & 5/64" Drill Bits
YOU'LL NEED THE FOLLOWING PARTS FROM THE KIT:
❑ (1) Clear Plastic Windscreen
❑ (2) 2mm x 6mm Wood Screws
SECTION 20: FINAL ASSSEMBLY
❑ (1) Decal Sheet
YOU'LL NEED THE FOLLOWING TOOLS AND SUPPLIES:
❑ Ernst Airplane Stand
❑ Ruler
❑ 220 Grit Sandpaper w/Sanding Block
❑ Masking Tape
Step 1: Installing the Windscreen
❑ Using a pair of scissors, carefully cut out the windscreen along the molded scribe line.
❑ Using 220 grit sandpaper with a sanding block, carefully sand the edges of the windscreen smooth.
❑ Test-fit the windscreen to the fuselage, as shown. The
base of the windscreen should be about 3/8" in front of the
cockpit opening and the windscreen should be centered over
the fuselage.
❑ When satisfied with the alignment, hold the corners of
the windscreen in place using pieces of masking tape.
❑ Drill a 1/16" diameter pilot hole into each corner of the windscreen and through the fuselage for the screws.
❑ Remove the windscreen and apply a couple of drops of thin C/A into the holes in the fuselage to strengthen them.
❑ After the C/A fully cures, secure the windscreen to the fuselage using two 2mm x 6mm wood screws.
Step 2: Installing the Receiver, Battery Pack & Switch
We don't suggest permanently installing the receiver and battery until you have balanced the airplane. Depending on
how the airplane initially balances will determine where you need to mount the receiver and battery.
❑ Wrap the receiver and battery in foam rubber to protect them from vibration. Use masking tape or rubber bands to hold
the foam in place.
☞
Do not wrap the foam rubber too tightly or its vibration dampening quality will be reduced.
❑ After you've found the final location of the receiver and battery, mount them into the fuselage using your favorite
method. Strips of Velcro
®
work good or sandwich them in place using a couple of scraps of balsa wood glued between the
fuselage sides.
