The horns must be bonded to the control surfaces of the wings and fins using epoxy laminating resin or 30
Minute Epoxy.
If you glue the horns to the control surfaces using CA of any type, you cannot be completely confident that the
joints will not fail in flight. It is essential to use epoxy laminating resin or 30 min epoxy for gluing the horns
in place!
If you are using 30 Minute Epoxy or epoxy laminating resin, be sure to use an adequate quantity of the adhesive
of your choice. In the case of the horn joints, this means completely filling the machined slots into which the
horns fit with resin!
Note:
Areas of the fuselage which are to be glued should be rubbed down with medium-grit abrasive paper to remove
any lingering traces of mould release agent. Aim at reducing the glossy surface to a FLAT finish, otherwise
there is little chance of a durable glued joint between the fuselage and other parts.
Caution:
Use only the adhesives which we expressly recommend.
Tips on assembling the model
The plywood parts for the KANGAROO are machine-cut to shape, but they may need fine trimming to obtain a
perfect fit. When gluing parts together ensure that the joint surfaces are dry and free of grease and dust. Be sure
to use the recommended adhesives.
Since so many parts of this model are of moulded construction, it is quite likely that some of the plywood parts
will not fit exactly. Be prepared to carry out minor trimming, but this only takes a little while.
