You also want to avoid cutting or losing any of the parts in the bag. Safest Carbon method is to slide the carbon out one at a time, leaving the bag coiled.

- Page 6 A simple and very effective method to prevent epp hinge failure is to glue in fishing line. A shallow slot is cut across hinge line and a piece of fishing line is inserted. Do this at both ends of the hinge and at control horn. It is possible to use many other filaments.
- Page 7 Notches will help line up parts. Most builders have a glue preference. Many glues will work well for this. Horizontal nose, midsection, wing panels and elevator assemblies can all be glued up with parts laying flat on build table. Only thing to watch for is to not fill carbon slots with glue.

- Page 9 Carbon can now be added to horizontal assembly. Wing carbons are 6mm x 1mm. Front wing carbon is 35 5/16”. Rear wing carbon is 31 ½”. Test fit the carbon after cutting to length, then glue. Aileron counterbalance carbons are 2mm rod x 3 ½” long.
- Page 10 Glue lower side of vertical fuselage to bottom. Foam can be slightly stretched and compressed to fit into notches. Glue a small area at a time while checking for square with square scrap foam supplied with kit. Be sure the assembly lies flat and does not lift off the table anywhere. If it does not lay flat, move the lower until it will lay flat before gluing.
- Page 11 Carbon can now be added for landing gear legs, (2) 6mm x 1 mm x 9” long. A notch is provided in front of wing and a slot is precut for intersecting point in vertical fuselage. These are glued into place at notches and intersecting point being sure to pull carbon up away from table to top of slot.
