the Top Frame. Finally, glue the curved diagonal Frame Member to the side of the socket that the Top
Frame is glued into. See the picture below. Test the Engine to make sure it rotates freely without
hitting any of the Frames and adjust Frames as needed.
Add a drop of medium CA to the side of the Cam Cover shaft and slip the Propeller in place on the
shaft making sure that the Propeller is completely seated against the shoulder of the shaft.
Wheels:
To assemble the Wheels gather the cast metal parts: Inner Wheel Half (2); Outer Wheel Half (2); Hub
Caps (2). Test fit the Inner and Outer Halves for a press fit. Check the center line to make sure both
parts are fully seated together. If not file the shoulder of the Outer Half until parts fit. While press fit
together, use a small round file to file the Tire seat for any burrs or mismatch.
Prime and paint the Wheel Halves and Hub Caps colors of the builder's choice. The Parts Layout
Color Guide Plan Sheet shows several authentic color schemes for the Wheels. When the Wheel
paint is dry, press fit, and glue the Halves together with the Tire in between and trapping the Tire. Now
index the Wheels onto the axle shafts and then very carefully glue the Hub Caps onto the ends of the
axle shafts to retain the Wheels to the axles. The Wheels should be free to rotate on the axles. See the
picture below.
The Eindecker IV model should now be completed and time to enjoy the result of your building efforts.
