  • Page 3 Canadair CL-415 Glued joints: selecting the correct adhesive can save a significant amount of weight. Use cyano-acrylate glue (“cyano”) wherever possible, either thin or thick as appropriate; the thin type penetrates into the wood grain and stiffens it considerably. You can often simply hold balsa parts together and tack-glue them with cyano.

    Canadair CL-415 Relieve the floats (78) to accept the pylons, and push them onto the float ribs (77). Check that everything fits correctly, then glue these parts together. Glue the second float shell in place using Stabilit-Express. Work carefully here, as the floats must, of course, be watertight! Fig. 10.

    Canadair CL-415 Three aluminium hinge lugs (38) are used as the basis of the rudder hinge system. Drill the 2 mm Ø holes and remove all rough edges. Cut down the lugs (38) approximately as shown on the plan. Roughen the surface of the metal lugs as follows: place the lug on a hard surface, lay a coarse, sharp file on it, and roll it to and fro - job done.
  • Page 8 Canadair CL-415 Fix the nacelles to the wing using three M4 x 30 mm screws each (you did remember to route the motor cables out of the wing, didn’t you?), and run thin cyano all round the periphery (and also to the screws inside the nacelles);...
