to-t() ior proper consrstency. Unly apply dope to ot4tside
edges of areas being covered - do nor apply dope ro frame
work within area covered by section of tissue.
FUSELAGE; l-irst cover any flat surfaces such as sides and
botrom of frame. Coler curved areas of fuselage in sepa-
rate secrions - vertically bets'een formers. Diy fit tisiue
over curved sections to see how much of an aiea can be
covered with one piece of tissue without wrinkling. Cut
tissue slightly larger than are? to be covered then tlim off
excess after attaching to frame.
VINGS: Cover bottom of wings with single pieces of
tissue. Cover top of wings berween cenrer sdcrioi and tip
ASSEMBTIT{G
Vith a sharp razor, remove tissue frr:m around notches
in wing ribs that receive the wing and cabane struts,
Also remove tissue from notches in parts "L" of fuse-
Iage.
Cement bottom wing to the fuselage. NOTE: Some
models have short stringers between the formers at
the bottom wing center section. Insert these stringers
at this time; cover section with tissue and dope.
Cement stabilizer and rudder to fuselage. Alien care-
fully before cement dries hard.
Cement cabane struts into prepared notches in fuselage.
Cement wing struts in notches in bottom wing.
Cernent top wing to all struts - line up carefully before
cement dries hard.
Cement landing gear into notches in fuselage and bot-
tom ot w1ng.
Cenent fixed sub-wing panel between bottom of land-
ing gear struts. Cement tail skid "K" in place.
Cut wheel axle to iength then force through right and
left landing gear struts beneath the sub-wing - cemenr
bottom of stabilizer with single pieces of tissue.
DOPING THE COVERED PARTS: After covering is
completed and all excess tissue is rrimmed off, spray tiisue
with water from an atoinizer and ler _dry untii.covering
becomes smooth and taut. For best flying performance,
the model should be kept light and ir is sueeested thai
only one coat of clear dope be applied to rhe sur?aces. (If
model is ro be used for display only, it can be given several
coats_of cle_ar dcpe then finished up with colored dope.)
Lightly sandpaper_ remaining balsa parts and apply one coat
of dope to all surfaces.

ADJUSTING AND FTYING
1. Check wings for possible warps. If warped, correct by
holding the warped section over steam from a boiling
kettle and twisting gently in the opposite direction until
wing is straightened - be careful and don't get scalded!
2. Test glide model over grassy area by gently thrusting
model forward from shoulder height. Adlust model foi
level flight by gently bending stabilizer either up or down
to compensate for a dive or climbing stall. ("up"
stabilizer for dive - "down" stabilizer for stall). If.
COMPTETING
Use black thread to simulate rigging wires. Refer to
small three view plan for location of all wires.
Full scale details of guns, motors, non-fying scale prop,
etc., are furnished on plan. No material is furnished
in the kit for these parts but they can be made from
pieces of scrap balsa or similar material. Only add
THE MODET
solidly in place.
10. Slip wheels on axles and bend up ends with a pair of
needle nose pliers.
11. Cut celluloid windbreaker to shape and cement in
position in front of cockpit. (Pattern furnished on
plan).
12. At this time, balance model at point shown on plan by
placing softened clay inside the front and bottom of
fuselage behind the front former. Press firmly in
place -so that it will not become dislodged during
flights.
13. Trim plastic nose cowl to shape and slip over nose of
fuselage - bead all around edges with cement.
14. Assemble propeller, prop hook, head and nose bearing
as shown on plan. Install rubber motor as follows:
insert one end in fuselage and fasten in place by sliding
rear motor mount (cut frorn excess axle wire) through
loop and "L" parts. Attach other end of rubber loop
over prop hook and slip propeller unit into hole in
plastic nose cowl,
THE MODEL
these parts if an exhibition model is desired - their
extra weight will cut down the flight endurance of a
flying model.
3. Finally add the insignia as per instructions on reverse
side of decal.
THE MoDEt [nuearn PowER]
model veers right or left, adjust for straight glide by
bending rudder in opposite direction of curved {light.
3. $/ind propeller 1oo turns (clockwise when facing nose
of model) and gently thrust into prevailing wind. If
model climbs too rapidly or goes into a stall, correct
flight by bending rudder slightly to the right to give a
climbing right-turn. Longer flights can be made after
initial rests by winding propeller motor up to 2oo
