panel in place in the fuselage. It should fit snugly over
the portion of the cockpit floor that rests on top of the
fuel tank. Glue the instrument panel in position.
o
11. Glue the seats to the cockpit floor. Remember,
the seats should also be removable in case the floor
needs to be taken out. Hot glue works well for this. Small
dots of medium or thick CA could also be used.
INSTALL THE SPINNER & PROPELLER
o
1. Locate the spinner hardware. A two-stroke and
four-stroke spinner nut are provided.
o
2. Ream your prop as necessary. Install the spinner
backplate, propeller, propeller washer and spinner
nut onto the engine crankshaft. If you installed a
four-stroke engine, use the four-stroke spinner nut.
o
3. Tighten the spinner cone to the backplate using
the 4 x 45mm SHCS.

FINAL TOUCHES
o
1. Locate the small pin holes in the covering on the
fuselage and wing for the wing struts. Align the holes
in the wing struts over the pin holes in the covering and
confirm that they will line up (the end of the strut with
the flat base is installed on the wing). If not, make new
pin holes that align with the holes in the struts as near
to the original pin holes as possible. When satisfied,
drill 3/32" [2.4mm] holes at the pin holes into the strut
mounting blocks underneath the fuselage sheeting.
Thread a #4 x 5/8" [16mm] self-tapping screw into
each hole and back it out. Apply a couple drops of
thin CA to each hole to harden the wood. Install the
struts between the wing and fuselage using four #4 x
5/8" [16mm] self-tapping screws.
o
2. Roughen 1/4" [6mm] from one end of each metal
antenna wire and clean the area with alcohol. Glue
the antennas into the antenna bases as shown. We
used thick CA. However, epoxy could also be used.
