Note
Before gluing parts to the fuselage it is essential to remove lingering traces of release
agent by roughening the joint surfaces with fine abrasive paper. Rub down the glossy
surface of the fuselage until it is matt, otherwise you will not obtain strong, durable
joints.
Important: be sparing with all adhesives, as it is very easy to add unnecessary
weight in this way. Excessive weight always has an adverse effect on a model
aircraft's performance and handling in the air.
