place and drill 1.5 mm Ø holes at the ten marked points (Fig. 24). Cut ten spreader plates 18 - 20 mm wide from the plywood panel provided (200 x 15 x 4 mm). Drill 1.5 mm Ø holes in the ply plates (Fig. 25), and glue them inside the fuselage at the screw positions using thickened epoxy resin. Screw the cowl in place to prevent the reinforcements shifting. We recommend that you install the complete engine system before screwing the cowl to the fuselage, so that you can check that the spinner backplate lines up correctly with the cowl. Use the M5 x 90 socket-head cap screw to secure the spinner backplate / spinner / engine (ZDZ engine only) (Fig. 26). Plywood / self-tapping screws / washers, plywood panel (200 x 15 x 4 mm) in bag III. Completing the fuselage Establish the position of the undercarriage braces (8) in the fuselage (1) by laying the braces (8) against the captive nuts fixed to the undercarriage plate (Fig. 28) and fitting the other end under the GRP wing joiner sleeve (4) which is already in place (Figs. 27, 33). Check that the installation is symmetrical, then tack the braces in place using cyano. Glue the plywood undercarriage braces (8) in place permanently using thickened epoxy resin and glass cloth (Fig. 30). The fueltank support former (9) should be installed at right-angles to the GRP sleeve (4). The large circular opening is designed to support the fueltank, and may need to be adjusted to suit the diameter of the tank you wish to install. We used a plastic 1 litre Cola / Fanta bottle. We recommend that you trim the support former (9) to suit your fueltank before fitting it in the fuselage. Tack the front fueltank support (10) in the fuselage using cyano, then reinforce the joints with epoxy. The position of the support (10) is shown in the detail illustration (Fig. 34). When the model is complete the fueltank bottle is held in place by cable ties threaded through the holes in the support (10). Fit the two ring-screws in the fueltank support former (9) in the position shown in Fig. 33. Drill 1.5 mm Ø pilot-holes and glue the ring-screws in place using UHU plus endfest 300 (slow-setting epoxy). The tension springs (25) which secure the exhaust are connected to these hooks. Fig. 35 shows the complete forward fuselage nose and former assembly, and also illustrates the large openings at the front between the undercarriage braces. Through these holes sufficient cooling air reaches the interior of the fuselage when the model is flying (all plywood formers and the ring-screws are in bag I). Servo plate You will find the servo plate (11) in bag I, but before you glue it in place permanently you need to determine the size and number of servos you intend to install to actuate the rudder. The plate is supplied with machined apertures for standard-size servos (Fig. 38), corresponding to the case size of Graupner/JR servos. The opening for a Graupner/JR DS 14021 Jumbo servo (14 kg/cm torque) is also marked (Fig. 37); if you are using such a servo you must cut out the opening along the marked lines. The servo plate also includes pre-cut openings which will accept the Graupner/JR switches, Order No. 3046 or 3050, plus the battery controller, Order No. 3138 (for receiving system / ignition system). 11
Epoxy the servo plate (11) in the fuselage between the wing root fairings, as shown in Figs. 36, 37, 38 and 39. It is important that the plate does not distort or strain the fuselage (1); we recommend that you fit the wings and check alignment before finally gluing the servo plate (11) in place. Canopy Tape the canopy frame (12) to the fuselage and drill two 5 mm Ø holes symmetrically through frame and fuselage approximately in the positions shown in Fig. 49. Fix the two 5 mm Ø brass tubes in the canopy frame (12) using cyano (Fig. 50). Place the canopy frame on the fuselage, tape it in place and drill a 4 mm Ø hole on the fuselage moulding seam through frame and fuselage (Fig. 51). Tack the M4 captive nut in the fuselage from the inside, then apply thickened epoxy round it to secure it. The canopy frame is held in place using an M4 x 20 socket-head cap screw; open up the 4 mm Ø hole in the canopy frame to 7.5 mm Ø to a depth of about 6 mm to accept the screw head; the canopy (13) can now be secured “invisibly” using the socket-head cap screw (canopy fixings, brass tube, captive nut, socket-head cap screw: bag II). Cut out the canopy (13) to match the shape of the fuselage canopy recess / canopy frame (12). Take your time here; the more accurately you cut, the better. To ensure a sound glued joint sand the edge of the mouldings before gluing the canopy to the frame. We recommend painting the canopy frame beforehand to improve the model’s appearance. It is a good idea to fix the canopy frame to the fuselage (1) before gluing the canopy to the frame to ensure that the moulding is not pulled out of shape by the canopy. You can avoid the canopy becoming stuck to the fuselage by applying mould release agent or a layer of cling film to the fuselage in this area. We recommend using Stabilit express to glue the canopy to the canopy frame; this is best applied using a disposable syringe (Fig. 53). The adhesive sets hard in about 20 - 30 minutes and work on the fuselage can then resume. Note that excess Stabilit must be removed as soon as it is “green” (starting to set). Slice off the excess with a razor blade (Fig. 54). The adhesive residue can then be cleaned up and sanded flush using abrasive paper or a small electric sander. To remove the canopy from the model you must now drill a hole through the canopy over the head of the M4 x 20 sockethead cap screw. Drill the material very carefully, and open it up to 7.5 mm Ø. Cut the fuselage turtle deck braces from carbon fibre tube (black, 8 Ø x 6 Ø x 1000) (Figs. 39, 40, 41), and fix them in the positions shown using cyano. Reinforce the joints with epoxy when the cyano has set. Fin and rudder (14) Sand the trailing edge of the fin completely flat using a sanding block, as shown in Fig. 42. Fit the three GRP hinge pivot lugs (bag IV) in the slots in the rudder (14) as shown in Fig. 43, and thread the 4 Ø x 500 mm aluminium tube through them; cut down the aluminium tube to match the length of the rudder. Now fit the three hinge lugs attached to the rudder (14) into the tail post in the factory-fitted tail former in the fuselage, as shown in Fig. 45. Check alignment: the front face of the rudder must be recessed into the fuselage (1) as shown, and should follow the profile of the fin accurately. The three GRP hinge pivot lugs (as prepared in Fig. 43) can now be glued in the tail post using 5-minute epoxy. Align the whole assembly as shown in Fig. 45 before the glue sets hard. 12
