Glue the hardwood reinforcements to the noseleg support former (note that the parts are
different lengths).
Screw the nosewheel retract unit to the former before epoxying the former in the
fuselage.
Push the end of the compressed air line onto the air cylinder and run it into the interior of
the fuselage.
Join the fuselage nose shells using epoxy, then attach this assembly to the main
fuselage using UHU por, taking care to line up the parts accurately.
Epoxy the canopy latch and the hardwood screw block in the fuselage.
Cut out the canopy frame, place it on the fuselage and mark where the canopy latch pin
meets the frame by pushing the latch against it; drill a hole at the marked point.
Cut out the instrument panels from the decal sheet and stick them to the cockpit frame
as shown. Cut out the clear canopy moulding, trim it carefully to fit, and glue it to the
canopy frame using UHU por.
File an open-ended slot at the front end of the completed canopy assembly; its depth
should be half the width of the canopy support flange. Place the canopy on the fuselage
and fit the retainer screw in the hardwood screw block: tighten the screw to the point
where the canopy is retained reliably, but leave sufficient clearance under the screw
head to allow the canopy to be fitted and removed without difficulty.
Cut out the air intake fairings as shown, trim them to fit on the fuselage and glue them in
place using UHU por.
Glue the fin in the slot in the tail end of the fuselage.
Epoxy the mounting plates in the recesses in the top and bottom of the tailplane panels.
When the glue has set hard, drill holes for the M3 screws through both plates. Fit an M3
x 30 mm screw through each panel from the underside, slip a washer on the top end,
and tighten the M3 nut to the point where it rests squarely on the washer; don't over-
tighten it. Screw the plastic linkage lug onto the end of the M3 screw until it ends flush
with the screw. Glue the nut and the screw-head to the screw shank using thickened
epoxy.
