Manual

2. Glue 1/4" triangular corner blocks, leaving
space for F-3 at forward edge of fuselage.
Using F-3 and F-4 for spacing, cut and glue
1/32" vertical-grain nose doublers.
3. Add 1/8" longerons and uprights per
sections E-E, F-F, and G-G.
4. Drill LEFT fuse side for rudder control
tube exit as shown, glue tube in place to
inside of left side all the way to F-5
(about every 1") - set aside.
5. Build basic fin frame directly over plans
using 3/16" x 3/16" outside frame stock.
Remove from plans; lightly sand flat.
Glue block in place to RIGHT T-1, just
below cutout. Insert cable into tube and
use a heat gun to bend tubing and cable to
fit within right fuse side. Once bend has
been made, glue tube to right fuse side up
to F-5 location about every inch.
Install antenna tube
(sections E-E and F-F).

6. Glue RIGHT fin sheet part T-1 accurately
in place, as shown on fin drawing. Glue
rear 3/16" Sq. pivot block in place. Glue
RIGHT side 1/32" x 3/16" fin frame cap
stock in place; lightly sand flat. Glue
fin in place to RIGHT fuselage side, over
plans.
7. Solder drive fitting to cable end. Use
3/16" x 3/16" block to hold cable tube.
8. Notch F-5 to accept rudder, elevator, and
antenna tubes. Notch F-4 to accept rudder
and elevator tubes.
9. Mark rear pivot hole location onto LEFT T-
1 side. Use a punch (nail, etc.) to open
this hole enough so that later sanding
won't remove it. Glue LEFT T-1 sheet in
place. Use the 1/32" x 3/16" stock to cap
the left side of the fin. Lightly sand
flat.
10. Lay the LEFT fuselage side over the RIGHT
fuselage side/fin assembly. Check fit.
Sides should match. Glue LEFT fuse side
to RIGHT fuse side from 1" forward of the
fin, back to the end of the fuselage -
weight or pin and allow to dry.
11. Spread fuse sides and glue F-5 in place -
keep square (5-minute epoxy allows a bit
more positioning time. Glue F-4 in place;
keep square.
12. Glue rear 1/8" ply screw plate in place
against F-5 fuse sides and against bottoms
of F-2.
13. Epoxy F-3 in place.
14. Trial-fit motor, with the ASTRO FLIGHT
Cobalt 035, rotate motor as far as it will
go to the right (this minimizes the height
of the brush housings). Note that the
bottom brush housing will contact the
