Page 11: Final Assembly
Final Assembly and Covering I will not talk in detail on how to cover your plane. Many online resources can be found, and many different covering materials are available. I do recommend that you cover the individual pieces before the final assembly. After covering the pieces it is time to mount the wing and horizontal stabilizer.

Take 2 hardwood sticks and glue them together, then slid that into the slot in the nose, setting the desired right thrust. The airplane was originally designed around a motor-on-a-stick Bolt the gearbox and motor to the stick, with the motor hanging off the system, but has been changed to an outrunner mount.
