Windshield And Landing Gear Cuff Installation - Hangar 9 Taylorcraft 20cc ARF Assembly Manual

Step 4
Use double-sided adhesive tape to attach the ignition
battery to the front of the radio compartment tray.
Note: If needed for balance, the ignition battery may
be mounted forward of the radio compartment on the
left side of the fuel tank.
Step 5
Connect the power lead from the battery to the switch
and secure the connector with dental floss. Apply a
small amount of thin CA to the knot to prevent it
coming loose.

Windshield, Landing Gear Cuff and
Cowl Baffle Installation
Parts Required
Fuselage Windshield
Cowl Baffles (2)
Tools Required
Low-tack tape Canopy glue
Ruler
Step 1
Slide the landing gear cuff up the gear leg against the
fuselage. Apply a small bead of canopy glue around
the intersection of the gear leg and the cuff. Tape the
cuff to the fuselage with low-tack tape if necessary to
hold it in position. Gluing the cuff to the gear leg only
will allow the landing gear to be removed in the future
if required.
Step 2
Measure 1 3/4-inches behind the firewall and place a
piece of low-tack tape as a marker. This represents
the rear edge of the cowl when mounted; the
windshield can be positioned no further forward than
this point.
Step 3
Apply a bead of canopy glue around the inside of the
windshield and set it in place on the fuselage. Use low-
tack tape to hold the windshield in position while the
glue cures. Allow time for the glue to dry completely.
