Cutting small amounts at a time with sharp scissors, fit the

with canopy glue.

3. Slide the wheels on the axles and hold them in place

with the 2 remaining wheel collars.

4. Remove the covering from the landing gear slot in the

bottom of the fuse.

5. Fit the landing gear in the fuse. Lock the gear in place

by gluing the 1/16" x 7/8" x 2" [1.6x22x50mm] balsa sheet in
the landing gear slot.

1. Bend one end of both wire pushrods to the shape

shown in the sketch.

2. Slide the straight end of the pushrods into the fuselage

through the front of the pushrod tubes.

3. Fit two servos in the fuse. Plug the servos into your

receiver. Turn on the transmitter and receiver to center the
servos. Attach the pushrods to the servo arms. Making sure
not to preload the pushrods, mount the servos to the servo
tray with the hardware provided with your radio. Turn the
transmitter and receiver off.

4. Being careful not to push the pushrod tubes, glue the

balsa servo pushrod support to the former behind the servos.
