INTRODUCTION
Thank
you
for
purchasing
the
GREAT
PLANES
MASTER
CADDY!
The
MASTER
CADDY
with
its
detachable
APS
(Auxiliary
Power
Station)
is
the
most
convenient
field
box
available.
You
will
not
only
be
able
to
neatly
carry
all
your
flying
equipment
to
the
field,
but
thanks
to
the
APS,
you
will
also
be
able
to
start
your
engine
on
the
flight
line
or
wherever
you
wish,
without
carrying
the
whole
field
box
around.
PRECAUTIONS
You
must
be
very
careful
when
assembling
this
kit
and
when
working
with
the
adhesives
and
tools
to
keep
from
hurting
yourself
or
damaging
personal
property.
Take
your
time
and
build
the
MASTER
CADDY
according
to
these
instructions
and
you
will
end
up
with
a
straight,
nice
looking
field
box
that
you
will
be
proud
to
take
to
the
flying
field.
You
must
exercise
extreme
caution
when
in-
stalling
or
storing
any
electronic
items
on
or
in
your
MASTER
CADDY.
@
When
mounting
a
power
panel
or
electric
fuel
pump
make
sure
the
leads
can
not
short
out,
which
could
cause
sparks
or
excessive
heat.
@
Do
not
allow
your
glow
plug
driver,
battery
or
any
electrical
device
to
be
stored
in
your
MASTER
CADDY
without
the
proper
insulation
in
place
to
prevent
short
cir-
cuits.
Model
airplane
fuel
is
highly
flammable
and
explosive!
Extreme
care
should
be
taken
at
all
times.
Do
not
allow
anyone
to
smoke,
bring
any
flame
near
or
allow
anything
that
could
set
off
a
spark
near
the
fuel
container.
If
fuel
leaks
out
of
its
container
and
onto
the
MASTER
CADDY,
clean
everything
thoroughly
being
very
careful
not
to
ignite
the
fuel.
Model
airplane
fuel
burns
very
quickly,
and
cleanly,
with
a
flame
that
is
almost
in-
visible.
Never
use
the
cradles
to
hold
the
model
while
the
engine
is
running.
The
cradles
were
designed
for
holding
the
plane
while
assembling
and
working
on
it.

should
line
up

C
and
be
parallel
with
the
bottom
of
the
MASTER

An
easy
way
of
doing
this
is
to
use
the
APS
bottom.
Slide
it
into
the
drawer
opening
and
up
square
against
one
of
the
uprights
to
hold
the
shelf
while
you
tack
glue

The
compartment
which
will
hold
your
trans-
mitter
should
be
laid
out
now.
Itis
best
to
put
it
on
the
same
side
of
the
MASTER
CADDY
as
the
drawers
so
you
won't
hit
the
transmitter
sticks
on
your
leg
when
you
carry
it.
Use
shelf
divider
A
as
a
spacer
and
draw
a
line
down
the
long
edge
of
the
divider.
Remove
the
divider
and
test
fit
your
transmitter
in
place
to
make
sure
it
fits.
This
method
makes
a
compartment
approximately
2-5/8"
wide
which
will
hold
most
transmitters.
You
can
put
this
divider
any
distance
you
wish
from
the
side.

Use
the
divider
again
to
mark
a
vertical
line
on
one
of
the
uprights
(it
does
not
matter
which
one).
It
just
depends
on
where
you
would
like
the
compartment
to
be,

With
the
compartments
laid
out
as
shown,
you
will
have
a
com-
partment
for
your
transmitter,
a
compartment
for
glues

Punch
out
the
remaining
sets
of
cradles
from
the
1/8"
die
cut
sheets.
You
should
have
four
‘‘sets’’
of
these.
It
takes
two
sets
(as
shown
above)
to
assemble
one
cradle.
C]

should
be
laminated
to
make
one
cradle
as
shown
at
the
top
of
the
next
page.
The
two
small
doublers
should
be
glued
together
and
then
they
should
be
glued
to
the
cradle
half
with
the
hole
in
it.

Test
fit
the
cradle
assembly
to
the
MASTER
CADDY
using
the
10-24
x
1-1/4"
bolt,
a#10
washer
and
a
10-24
wing
nut.
Assemble
the
other
cradle,
but
glue
the
small
doubler
on'the
opposide
side
of
the
cradle
since
this
cradle
will
face
the
other
direction
when
mounted
on
the
caddy.
The
foam

MOUNTING
THE
POWER
PANEL,
FUEL
PUMP
AND
FUEL
CONTAINER
C
1.
Test
fit
your
power
panel
into
the
cutout
in
the
APS
front.
The
cutout
was
designed
to
fit,
without
modification,
one
of
the
smaller
power
panels
on
the
market
so
you
may
have
to
cutor
sand
the
opening
larger
to
fit
your
power
panel.
Once
you
have
the
opening
shaped
to
fit
your
panel,
determine
where
the
battery
leads
will
go
and
drill
an
appropriately
sized
hole
in
APS
upright
A
for the
wires
to
pass
through.
CO
2.
The
battery
should
be
packed
in
foam
rubber
or
something
similar
to
hold
it
so
it
does
not
slide
around
inside
the
compartment.
Foam
can
also
be
glued
to
the
APS
sides,
but
donot
coverup
the
vent
holes,
as
airneeds
to
flow
through
the
compartment
to
keep
flammable
gases
from
building
up.
(
3.
Plan
where
you
are
going
to
mount
your
fuel
pump
and
if
it's
an
electric
one,
decide
where
the
wires
should
run,
Itis
a
good
idea
to
temporarily
mount
the
fuel
pump
and
then
remove
it
before
painting
your
MASTER
CADDY.
O
4.
Use
a
modeling
knife
or
scissors
to
split
the
nylon
strip
down
the
middle
and
into
two
pieces
17"
long.
Drill
a
1/8"
hole
through
each
nylon
strap
about
1/2"
from
one
end.
Drill
two
5/64"
holes
in
one
side
of
the
MASTER
CADDY
for
the
strap
screws.
You
can
position
these
straps
wherever
you
prefer
but
the
farther
apart
they
are
spaced,
the
better
they
will
hold
the
fuel
container.
Use
a
#4
x
3/8"
sheet
metal
screw
along
with
a
#4
washer
to
secure
each
strap
in
the
holes
you
just
drilled.
Pull
the
straps
snugly
around
your
fuel
container
and
drill
the
5/64"
holes
on
the
other
side
of
the
MAS-
TER
CADDY.
Use
the
two
remaining
#4
x
3/8"
screws
and
#4
washers
to
secure
the
fuel
container.
FINISHING
It
is
very
important
that
you
apply
some
type
of
finish
to
your
MASTER
CADDY.
Ifis
not
finished
it
will
become
dirty
and
fuel
soaked
very
quickly.
There
are
three
different
types
of
finishes
you
can
apply
to
your
MASTER
CADDY.
A
clear,
natural
looking
finish,
A
stained,
natural
looking
finish,
or
a
painted
finish,
CLEAR
FINISH
-
Seal
the
wood
with
either
poly-
ester
resin,
coating
epoxy
or
clear
polyurethane.
STAINED
FINISH
-
Apply
the
stain
first
and
then
seal
the
wood
with
either
polyester
resin,
coating
epoxy
or
clear
polyurethane
PAINTED
FINISH
-
Fill
the
wood
with
a
wood
filler.
Seal
the
wood
with
a
light
coat
of
either
polyester
resin,
coating
epoxy
or
polyurethane.
Then,
use
several
coats
of
primer
to
fill
the
grain
completely.
Apply
your
choice
of
fuelproof
paint
but
make
sure
itis
compatable
with
the
primer
you
used.
©
1.
Whichever
finish
you
choose,
itisimportant
that
you
take
your
time
and
properly
prepare
the
surfaces
to
achieve
a
nice
smooth
appearance.
Use
some
wood
filler
compound
to
fill
any
gaps
in
the
wood
orseams.
Remove
all
knobs
and
screws,
and
disassemble
the
cradles
so
that
it
is
easier
to
sand
and
paint
the
surfaces.
Sand
all
surfaces
with
400
grit
sandpaper
before
each
coat
of
paint.
Be
careful
not
to
sand
through
to
the
bare
wood
when
sanding,
especially
around
the
comers.
O
2.
When
painting
the
MASTER
CADDY,
it
is
a
good
idea
to
use
primer
for
a
base
coat.
It
will
help
fill
the
grain
and
will
give
a
consistent
color
to
all
surfaces.
The
mahogany
plywood
used
in
this
kit
can
vary
in
color
quite
noticeably,
which
can
make
the
same
color
of
paint
look
like
several
different
colors
when
applied
to
wood
that
is
not
primed.

FINAL
ASSEMBLY
O
1.
Useascissors
to
slit
one
side
of
the
foam
tubing
in
a
straight
line
from
one
end
to
the
other.
Cut
four
pieces
of
foam
tubing
3-1/2"
long
and
two
pieces
4-1/2"
long.
Cut
a
90
degree
notch
1/2"
from
one
end
of
each
3-1/2"
piece
as
shown
in
the
photo.
The
notch
should
be
centered
along
the
lengthwise
slit.
O
2.
Glue
the
3-1/2"
long
pieces
of
tubing
to
the
four
cradle
halves
with
C/A
glue,
and
use
Acceleratorto
speed
up
the
curing.
Install
the
cradle
assemblies
on
the
MAS-
TER
CADDY.
Slide
the
4-1/2"
long
pieces
onto
the
cradles
as
shown
above
and
glue
only
one
side
of
the
foam
to
one
of
the
cradles.
The
other
cradle
has
to
be
free
to
slide
under
the
foam
tube.
O
3.
Cut
the
Velcro
strip
in
half
and
separate
the
pieces.
Peel
the
backing
off
one
piece
and
stick
it
firmly
on
the
back
of
the
bottom
drawer.
Gently
touch
the
Opposite
piece
of
Velcro
to
the
piece
on
the
back
of
the
drawer,
but
put
a
scrap
of
paper
between
the
two
pieces
so
that
it
covers
approximately
3/4
of
the
surfaces.
This
will
help
the
second
Velcro
piece
stick
to
the
caddy.
Peel
the
backing
off
of
the
second
piece
of
Velcro
and
slide
the
drawerintoits
slot.
Push
the
drawer
against
its
stops
and
then
gently
pull
the
drawer
out.
The
Velcro
should
have
stuck
to
the
caddy,
If
it
did
not,
manually
stick
it
on
the
caddy
by
estimating
where
it
should
be
and
pressing
it
in
place.
In
either
case,
when
you
have
it
properly
posi-
tioned,
firmly
press
it
in
place.
The
adhesive
used
on
the
Velcro
will
hold
more
strongly
with
time.
If
the
Velcro
does
not
catch
when
the
drawer
is
in
place,
you
can
add
a
shim
between
the
Velcro
and
the
Drawer
Back
to
help
the
Velcro
grab.
NOTE
-
If
you
would
like
to
keep
your
newly
finished
MASTER
CADDY
from
sitting
directly
on
the
ground
we
suggest
the
addition
of
small
plastic
or
rubber
feet
which
are
available
at
your
local
hardware
store.
This
completes
the
assembly
of
your
GREAT
PLANES
MASTER
CADDY.
We
hope
your
building
experience
was
enjoyable
.
GOOD
LUCK
and
HAPPY
FLYING!
