STAGE 12 RIGGING TENSION FRONT VIEW Ensure correct alignment when tensioning the rigging The rigging on the Bristol is functional. It strengthens and stabilises the wings to provide predictable flight characteris- tics so is important to get right! Stabalise the wire on both sides of the aircraft at the lower points on the undercarriage with some CA or Alphatic resin adhesive. - Page 27 STAGE 13 NOSE HATCH Sanding Stick 8mm x 80mm Paper Strip Bevel & Score before installation - See Scoring & Bevelling guide #2 Magnets x 2 Ensure magnets match magnets previously installed in chin.
