BEFORE BEGINNING: Please read the manual cover to cover. This will speed up your build time
considerable.
GET ORGANIZED: Prepare your workshop and be sure that what goes in the shop door will be able to come
out!
KEEP IT CLEAN!: The pre-sewn skins can soil easily. Wash your hands, tools and work tables. You will
notice many of the parts are marked with part numbers. These wipe off with a cloth dampened with acetoneor
lacquer thinner. CAUTION: Do not allow fuel, acetone, lacquer thinner or Loctite to come in contact
with the Lexan glazing. These and some other solvents will destroy the Lexan.
After drilling holes they will need to be deburred. This is an IMPORTANT step and must be performed.
Assembly of the parts with burrs can cause stress risers and eventual part failure. Various tools can be used.
An official deburring tool is nice, but a 1/2" drill bit can do a good job on most holes. Radius and smooth sharp
corners with files or fine grit sanders and grinders. Edges of certain parts also need deburring...a good file
works here.
A few special tools will be needed. A power drill, wrenches, and a pop riveter. “Clecos” make trial fitting and
assembly go smooth on assemblies such as windows, cowling and firewall.
FABRICATED PARTS: You will need to fabricate some parts out of the raw stock. These parts will be
identified in your assembly manuals.
STRUCTURAL STATIONS: Throughout the manual references will be made to structural stations. These are
locations of formers or bulkheads from the nose to the tail of the aircraft. Observe the drawing in this section
for locations.
CLECOS: Included in your kit is a supply of clecos. These are temporary fasteners that will be used to hold
things together while fitting and drilling. A Cleco Plier is also included to install and remove the clecos. The
clecos are color coded as to hole size. Silver #40 Copper #30 Gold #11
To use, simply set the cleco in the special pliers,squeeze closed, insertinto the holeand release. (Reversefor
removal). You will find the clecos to be extremely useful throughout assembly.
RIVETS:Your kitissupplied withvarioussizes ofaluminumandstainless steel pop rivets. Even though we are
careful, there is always the chance of the packages being mis-labeled. So before riveting, be sure to double
check that you have the correct aluminum or stainless steel pop rivet for the particular section you are working
on.
PLACARDS & MARKINGS
Included in your S-6ES kit is a decal sheetand gauge markingdecal. Theseshouldprovideyou with just about
every label/placard the FAA requires. Apply the decals as per FAA recommendations. Affix the passenger
warning decal to the instrument panel. Not included inyour kit isthe data plateand aircraft identifierplate. The
data plate can be purchased from one of the aircraft supply houses such as Spruce & Specialty. The identifier
plate (which is a fairly new requirement) can be made from a small 1" x 1" 2" piece of aluminum. Hand stamp
or engrave the make, model and serial number and then rivet this to the side of the tail channel. The
Experimental decal is best applied along either door’s bottom edge.
For the “N” number, use 3" vinyl letters. Cole brand is available at most hardware stores. These just stick on
the Vertical Stabilizer. Local Vinyl Sign Shops can also make them in colors and sizes as desired. Make sure
the skin is clean before applying.
