Building and Operating Instructions - Corsair ARF

1. Installing the elevator and rudder horns (Figs. 1 and 2)

The horns and spreader plates can be glued in place initially using robbe Speed Foam,

before they are fixed permanently using the screws supplied in the kit. Always sand the

plastic parts before gluing, and remove all traces of grease beforehand. This method saves

you the awkward task of holding the small plastic parts, and allows you to concentrate on

tightening the screws just to the correct extent, i.e. without deforming the moulded foam

part. Use the shorter screws for the elevators.

Please use the four long plastic screws for the rudder horn.

2. Joining the wing panels (Figs. 3 and 4)

All the joint surfaces must be sanded carefully before the wing panels are glued together,

with the aim of removing almost all the blue paint. As adhesive we recommend Ropoxi

5-minute epoxy thickened with micro-balloons. Apply the adhesive to the joint surfaces,

push the wings together, and screw them to the fuselage while the epoxy is curing. Wipe

off excess resin with a cotton bud or similar.

3. Installing the aileron and landing flap horns

The aileron and flap horns are fitted and screwed in place using a similar procedure to that

described in Point 1. Use four shorter screws (2 x 15 mm) for the landing flaps. For the

aileron horns use the longer plastic screws (1.8 x 20 mm) towards the nose of the aircraft.
