Install the Wheels

❏
1. Install the three wheels using the six 5/32" [4mm]
wheel collars and set screws. Grind or file a flat spot at
the point of the set screw contact for each of the outer
collars. This provides a better area for the set screw to
"bite" and helps keep the wheels in place.

Install the Canopy

❏
1. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Position the wing
fairing on the fuselage. Lightly mark the edges around the
wing fairing then remove the fairing. Lightly sand the wing
fairing and the wing where they contact each other, being
careful not to sand the exposed part of the wing. A strip of
masking tape can be used to protect the wing where you
do not want to sand. Clean the areas with rubbing alcohol
and a paper towel to remove any dust or oil. Mix some 6-
minute epoxy and glue the wing fairing in place. Use
masking tape to hold it in place until the epoxy cures. Any
excess epoxy can be cleaned up using a paper towel and
rubbing alcohol.
❏
2 Carefully trim the canopy as needed. Test fit the
canopy on the wing fairing making any adjustments needed
for a good fit. The area inside the canopy can be detailed at
this time by painting and adding a pilot figure to suit your
own personal tastes. Roughen the bottom of the canopy
edge, as well as the area on the wing fairing that the
canopy contacts. Be careful not to scratch any areas that
may be visible when the canopy is installed. Glue the
canopy in position with 6-minute epoxy or RC-56 glue.
Note: Always test your paint on a small sample of the
canopy to make sure that it doesn't attack or deform the the
canopy material.
