11.2 Attaching the cabin
Press two rubber grommets 3515.3 into the appropriate holes in the bulkhead 4445.17; you may
like to apply a drop of cyano on one side to secure them. Fit the bulkhead, with the curved edge
facing down, onto the stand-off pillars which are located on the front of the mechanics. The
pillars should engage fully in the rubber grommets.
Fit two further rubber grommets in the 7 mm Ø holes in the top rear section of the cabin
moulding. Slide the cabin onto the mechanics from the front, and engage the two stand-off
pillars at top rear in the rubber grommets in the cabin moulding.
Swing the cabin up from the front until the bulkhead fitted to the front of the mechanics makes
contact with the bottom of the cabin. You will need to cut away the cabin shell on the left-hand
side to clear the exhaust manifold; there should be a gap at least 5 mm wide between cabin and
exhaust system. The bulkhead can now be glued to the cabin in this position using Stabilit
express. Allow the glue to cure fully before removing the cabin from the mechanics. It should
come off easily by first pulling it off the rear stand-off pillars at the sides, and then pulling it
forward. It should be equally easy to fit the cabin back on the model.
Tape the clear canopy screen 4445.1 to the cabin, then attach it using four 2.2 x 6.5 mm self-
tapping screws. Alternatively you can glue it in place using cyano or Stabilit express. Work
carefully if you use glue to avoid smearing the clear panel.
Run the receiver aerial along the mechanics to a point aft of the front skid bar, to ensure that the
cabin can be removed easily without snagging the wire aerial. Fit the plastic aerial guide tube
through the two holes on the inside of the skid bars, and fit short lengths of fuel tubing to
prevent it slipping out. Run the aerial wire down the skid bar and into the front end of the guide
tube, and allow it to dangle freely from the rear end of the tube.
