Sand a “very slight” bevel on the end of
the wings sloping to the upper surface
side. And also do the same on the wing
tips. This allows these pieces to fit
together flush for gluing. Don’t make the
bevel at too steep an angle as the wing
tips should only be angled up at about 30
degrees to the horizontal.
Glue in place the wing tip sections.
When using UHU Por Expanded Polystyrene
glue, “less is more”. If you put too much glue
on each surface they will not stick instantly
to each other when brought together.
Use the smallest amount just to cover the
surface and scrape off any extra. Apply the glue
to both surfaces. Allow to fully dry before
bringing the surfaces together.
Shown here is how to glue in the top front
plate. This is usually done after installing
your radio gear.
Attach the propeller using a pair of long
tip pliers. Do not press the propeller onto
the shaft. Instead, place the propeller
(the correct way up) flat on the table. Use
the pliers to grip the shaft near the gear
and press the shaft into the propeller
with the pliers.
This video explains the best
method to press the propeller
onto the shaft of the geardrive
without bending the geardrive
shaft.
