Final Details; Apply The Decals - GREAT PLANES Curtiss P-6E Hawk Instruction Manual

Final Details

❏
1. Glue the turtle deck in place to the top of the fuselage. A
white aliphatic glue such as Formula 500 canopy glue works
well for this. Tape the turtle deck to the fuselage while the
glue is drying.
❏
2. To complete the details of this airplane a windshield
has been included. The windshield does make it a bit more
diffi cult to install the battery. Test fi t the battery and canopy to
determine if you want to install the windshield. The windshield
can be glued to the fuselage with the technique used for the
turtle deck.
❏
3. Plug a 9" [229mm] servo lead into the appropriate
channel on your receiver for the ailerons. Feed the lead into
the battery compartment.
❏
4. To hide the servo lead coming from the top wing we
found it was best to make a slot the width of the servo lead in
the fuselage as shown. You can attach the lead from the top
wing to the cabane with tape or heat shrink tubing. Plug the
aileron servo lead into the extension in the receiver.
❏
5. Install a pilot fi gure if desired.
