INSTALL THE WINGS
• Use the photo to help you identify
the correct wing and rudder panels.
Carefully remove the backing
paper from the double-sided tape
on the left rudder only.
• With the control surface to the
back of the plane, match the
bottom edge of the left rudder
cut out to the slot in the fuselage.
Push the rudder into the slot and
fold it up until it is vertical.
• Carefully peel the backing
paper off of both the left
wing and the fuselage.
• With the control surfaces
toward the rear of the plane,
join the left wing to the
fuselage. Make sure that the
wing’s edge sits tightly in the
fuselage cutout.
• Repeat the previous two steps to install the right wing.
• Use the photos on the box to apply the decals to your Star Blazer and
the charger.
• Repeat the previous steps to install the right rudder.
• Without pressing too hard, press the rudders into the fuselage to help
the tape stick. (Builder’s Tip: You know you are pressing too hard if the
foam begins to dent under your fi nger.)
