e) Preparations at the Fuselage
Various openings must be created in the fuselage. Before
cutting out the foil at the fuselage, we recommend that
this area is ironed again.
Feel for the cut-outs for the windows, elevator and rudder in the fuselage
(figure 4a, item 1). Open these points with a cutter knife. Use the
information from figures 4a and 4b.
Figure 4a item 2 shows the front window of the cabin hood. It must be
cut from a formed part and adjusted to the fuselage. The front window
is then attached at the left and right with two self-cutting screws
1.2 x 6 mm each.
f) Mounting the Elevator
Then push the elevator into the fuselage opening from the rear (figure 5a) and place it centrally on the fuselage.
Install the wings on the fuselage. For information on this, see chapter 8. s).
Measure the precise position of the elevator to the wing (see figure 5b).
Important:
The accuracy of this work considerably influences the flight properties.
When everything is measured perfectly, use a pen to mark the top and bottom of the fuselage for the precise position of the tail unit. Then pull it out of the elevator
again from the fuselage and carefully remove the iron-on film within the marks with a cutter knife.
Then you can attach the tail unit permanently to the fuselage with 30-minute epoxy glue.
Align the tail unit to the fuselage as illustrated in figures 4b, 5a and 5b.
After ht glue has cured, the tail unit clubs must be glued to the elevator unit at the left and right (figure 5a, item 1). Mark the top and bottom of the tail unit with
a pen in the precise position of the centrally placed tail unit clubs. Then remove the clubs again from the elevator unit and carefully remove the iron-on foil from
within the marks with a cutter knife.
Then you can attach the rudder clubs to the elevator unit permanently with 30-minute epoxy resin glue.
