6. Slide the wing panels onto the wing joiner tube and
push them firmly into place. Loosely thread a 4-40 x 1/4"
[6 mm] SHCS into two 3/32" [2.4 mm] wheel collars. Tighten
the wheel collars onto the threaded rods in the wings
against the fuselage side.

7. Connect the aileron servo leads to the Y-harness or
dual servo extension.
Attach the Canopy & Cowl
❏
1. Trim the canopy along the molded cut lines. Use
sandpaper to smooth the cut edges.
❏
2. Cut a 1/2" x 1" [13 x 25 mm] piece of clear decal from the
decal sheet and use it to tape the front of the canopy to the
fuselage. Applying the decal piece in this location will better
secure the canopy, but still allow it to open and close easily.
❏
3. Slide the cowl onto the front of the fuselage and make
a mark where it should be trimmed for the nose gear.
❏
4. Cut a slot at the mark slightly wider than the nose gear.Test
fit the cowl to the fuselage and adjust the slot as necessary until
the nose gear wire fits in the slot without touching.
❏
5. While holding the cowl in place with the paint scheme
aligned, drill four evenly spaced 5/64" [2 mm] holes 3/16"
[4.8 mm] from the back edge of the cowl as shown.
Reinforce the holes with thin CA glue. Attach the cowl to the
fuselage with four 2.6 x 8 mm [7/64" x 5/16"] self-tapping
screws. For a cleaner look, the cowl can be attached to the
fuselage with silicone adhesive. If adhesive is used, be sure
that the cowl is properly secured before each flight.
Note: Silicone adhesive will allow the cowl to be removed in
the future if you need to replace the motor or gears. Only a
couple of dots of adhesive are required to secure the cowl.
Make sure you roughen the area with sandpaper on the fuse
and cowl, then clean it with alcohol.
