Assembly Tools
Few tools are required to assemble your FlyLite, so if you
have these on-hand before you begin you’ll be in the air in
no time.
❏
Small needle-nose pliers (HCAR0625) or hemostats
(BRUR1302)
❏
#0 magnetized (if possible) Phillips screwdriver
(DTXR0170) (A screwdriver can be magnetized by
rubbing a magnet against it.)

outdoor fl ying (see page 18).
Glue for Repairs
If repairs to your FlyLite are ever required, note that there are
certain types of glues that should be used. Usually,
foam-
safe
CA (super glue) is required to repair foam models and
many modelers keep some in their fl ight box so they can
make repairs at the fi eld. While only foam-safe CA can be
used on the wing, tail surfaces and on the battery plate in
the fuselage, the fuselage may be glued with either regular
CA or foam-safe CA. Sometimes though, you accidentally
reach for the wrong bottle on your workbench or forget which
kind of CA can be used on which parts, so it’s easiest just
to forget about regular CA and use only foam-safe CA when
making repairs to any part of the model. And when making
repairs, simply gluing the parts back together with CA alone
usually doesn’t work. Without a catalyst, CA can take a long
time to harden. To speed drying time, apply CA, hold the
parts together, and then have an assistant apply a light mist
of CA accelerator causing the CA to harden within seconds.
