! Once both sides of the wing are covered, shrink the covering with a covering iron or heat gun. If
you are using the supplied clear covering, you will need a fair amount of heat to shrink the
covering but too much heat will result in a hole.
! Tack the covering down around the servo hole then cut the hole out with a sharp Xacto.
! You can paint the supplied Doculam covering with Testors Pactra Racing Finish car body paint,
which has been specifically designed for lexan car bodies. Krylon spray paint will also work.
! Cover the ailerons in the same manner you did with the wings.
! Apply the hinges to the control surfaces. I have had excellent results using packing tape sliced
down to ¾" as a hinge. Ensure the control surfaces move freely.
! Cut covering from the slots for the control horns and glue the control horn in place with thin CA.

Aileron Servo

! Install the aileron servo through the top of the wing.
! Use a servo control horn with two arms.
! Cut four pieces of 1/32" music wire 3.25" long. Bend a Z bend in one end of each wire.
! Install two of the wires in the outer holes of the aileron control horns and the other two wires in
the outer holes of the servo control horns.
! Cut two pieces of heat shrink tubing 2" long. With the heat shrink, join the pushrods.
! Adjust the pushrod lengths so that the ailerons are level with the wing. Use a drop of thin CA to
prevent the pushrods from slipping in the heat shrink. If you really want to get fancy, use Dubro
Micro Connectors on your servo horn as shown.

Fuselage Assembly

1. Lay the two fuselage sides down on a piece of wax paper so that the word "INSIDE" faces up.
2. Position the forward fuselage doublers on the fuselage sides and glue with thin CA.
