A/B Epoxy glue.
Position the canopy so the rear frame on the canopy is
aligned with the rear edge of the cockpit opening. Use
canopy glue to secure the canopy to the canopy hatch.
Use low-tack tape to hold the canopy in position until
the glue fully cures. Wrap the tape completely around
the canopy hatch, as the tape does not stick well to
the covering. We used balsa sticks to hold the lower
edges of the canopy tightly against the canopy hatch.
Installing the fuselage hatch as same as picture below.
Item code: BH149.
Install the spinner backplate, propeller and spinner
cone. The spinner cone is held in place using two 3mm
x 8 mm machine screws.
1) It is critical that your airplane be balanced cor-
rectly. Improper balance will cause your plane to lose
control and crash.
THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED
101MM BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE OF THE
WING.
2) Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a couple
of pieces of masking tape, place them on the top side
of the wing 101mm back from the leading edge, at the
fuselage sides.
3) Turn the airplane upside down. Place your fingers
on the masking tape and carefully lift the plane.
