Adhesives - You will need two types of adhe-
sives for the Fun Tiger - Epoxy and Instant
(cyanoacrylate) adhesives. We recommend that
you purchase both 5-minute and 30-minute
epoxy to cut down on assembly time, but you
can get by with only 30-minute epoxy if time is
not important. You will also need a small bottle
of both "Thick" and "Thin" instant adhesive.
Tools - Model assembly can be much easier if
the proper tools are used. Therefore, we have
included in our checklist to the right, a complete
listing of all the tools we used to assemble our
prototype models. As you will notice, many house-
hold tools can be utilized during construction.
Engine - The Thunder Tiger GP-42, PRO-40/46
and F-54S are the ideal engines for this air-
plane. These quiet-running engines are easy to
start, require no special break-in periods, are
very easy to maintain and will last for years.
Flight Equipment - There are several "support"
items that you will need to purchase in order to
get your engine running and your plane in the
air. These are listed at the bottom of the page.
