Important Building Notes; Assembly; Assemble The Tail Surfaces - GREAT PLANES Escapade Instruction Manual

IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES

• Since the Escapade is made mostly of foam, and since CA
adhesives commonly used to build R/C model airplanes
dissolve foam, CA should not be used when gluing foam
parts. Therefore, 30-minute epoxy, which is compatible with
foam, is used for most of the construction. Unless otherwise
specified in the instructions, 30-minute epoxy is to be used
for gluing all parts of the model together. There are a few
instances where CA may be used for gluing wood to wood.
• For the strongest bond apply epoxy to both parts being
joined.
• Before beginning construction, refer to the parts drawings
and use a ballpoint pen to write the part number on all the
wood parts.

Assemble the Tail Surfaces

1. Using the precut lines as a guide, use a sharp hobby
knife to cut the rudder from the fin and the elevator from
the stabilizer (stab).
