IMPORTANT BUILDING NOTES
•
There are three types of screws used in this kit:
Sheet metal screws are designated by
a number and a length. For example,
#6 x 3/4" [19mm]
Machine screws are designated by a
number, threads per inch, and a length.
For example 4-40 x 3/4" [19mm]
• When you see the term
test fit
in the instructions, it means
that you should first position the part on the assembly
without using any glue
, and then slightly modify or
custom
fit
the part as necessary for the best fit.
•
Whenever the term
glue
is written you should rely upon
your experience to decide what type of glue to use. When
a specific type of adhesive works best for that step, the
instructions will make a recommendation.
•
We recommend 30-minute epoxy to install the stabilizer,
because you will need the working time. 6-minute epoxy can
be used for the remaining assembly, but 30-minute epoxy
can also be used.
•
Photos
and
sketches
are placed
before
the step they
refer to. Frequently you can study photos in following steps
to get another view of the same parts.
•
The Yak-55M EP is factory-covered with Top Flite
®
MonoKote
®
film. Should repairs ever be required, MonoKote
can be patched with additional MonoKote purchased
separately. MonoKote is packaged in six-foot rolls, but
some hobby shops also sell it by the foot. If only a small
piece of MonoKote is needed for a minor patch, perhaps a
fellow modeler would give you some. MonoKote is applied
with a model airplane covering iron, but in an emergency a
regular iron could be used. A roll of MonoKote includes full
instructions for application. Following are the colors used on
this model and order numbers for six foot rolls.
White
(TOPOQ0204)
Sapphire Blue (TOPQ0226)
True Red (TOPQ0227)
