- Page 2 The Pilot is a based loosely on a modern 20 m pilot vessel. Boats of this kind are encountered along the Baltic and North Sea coasts, and are very fast - around 25 - 30 kn - and manoeuvrable. Their task is to transport pilots safely to the great ocean giants, regardless of the weather.
- Page 3 A certain amount of sanding at an angle is required on the laser-cut parts and some sub-assemblies, since the laser can only cut at an angle of 90°. Please use a fine file or a sanding block with abrasive paper glued to it for this purpose.
- Page 4 Glue the hull sides to the frames and stringers on the inside. Important! the hull sides must make contact with the keel at the bow, and engage in the notches in the frame Fig. 3 lugs. Leave them in this position while the glue hardens. The lateral edges of the hull bottom panels 15 must be bevelled towards the inside of the hull to ensure neat joints with the hull sides.
- Page 5 Do not press the bottom panels against the frames, as this would produce irregularities in the hull skin. Glue the bottom panels to the frames where they touch, but without exerting pressure. Sand the hull sides lightly at the stern to follow the bevel of the transom, using a sanding block or a file.
- Page 6 Fig. 9 The hull can now be lifted from the jig, and the support lugs on the frames removed: you can either snip off the lugs using side-cutters, or carefully break them off. Sand the cut or broken edges smooth. Attach the shaft couplings 20 to the shafts 18, then Fig.
- Page 7 Insert the rudders 33 from the underside. Fit 1 cm lengths of silicone tubing 36 on the rudder shafts from the top, and push them down until they rest on the rudder bushes. Open up the outer hole in the single-armed tiller 34 to 2.0 mm diameter.
- Page 8 Curve the bulwark sections 51 slightly towards the bow by pulling them over the edge of a table. Fit both bulwark components in the slots in the deck. Carefully sand the front edge of both parts 51 where they meet, so that a watertight glued joint can be produced.
- Page 9 Cut the railing components 62 and 67 to length from 1.5 mm Ø nickel-silver wire, and bend them to the shape shown in the Fig. 13.4 bending template in sheet 2. Solder the joints with the parts in the template. Paint the step sides 64 and 64.1, and glue three treads 65 and one platform 66 between them.
- Page 10 Glue together parts 79 to 81 to form the instrument Fig. 16 panel. Apply the instrument decal 83 to the panel. Stick the etched bezel 82 to the decal sheet using contact adhesive. Apply low-tack masking film to part 82, keeping accurately to the edges, to protect it from subsequent painting.
- Page 11 Bend the front windows 94 and 95 to the rear along the engraved lines, and glue them in the Fig. 19 slots in the instrument panel 79. Bend the centre and side cover panels 96 and 97 along the engraved lines, and glue them to the front panels 91 and 92, the side walls 90 and the front windows.
- Page 12 Fig. 22 Glue the seat squab 118 to the front section 119 and the bottom section 117. Bend the side panel 120 inwards slightly along the engraved lines. Fit the seat squabs in the side panels. Insert the backrest 121 and the backrest side fairings 122.
