Body and Wing

Painting:

Prepare the Lexan® Body and Wing for painting by washing them thoroughly (inside and out) with warm water and liquid detergent.

Dry both the Body and Wing with a clean, soft cloth. Use the supplied Window Masks to cover the windows from the inside. A high-quality

masking tape should be used on the inside of the Body to mask off any stripes, panels, or designs that you wish to paint on the Body or Wing.

Use acrylic lacquer or other paints recommended for Lexan® (polycarbonate). (NOTE: LEXAN R/C CAR BODIES ARE MEANT TO

BE PAINTED FROM THE INSIDE!) Apply paint to the inside of the Body and to the under-side of the Wing and Winglets. Remove the

masking tape for the next color and continue. Try to use darker colors ﬁ rst. If you use a dark color after a light color, apply a coat of white

paint over the lighter color before applying the darker color, or if you are painting over white, coat it with silver. This will help prevent the

darker color from bleeding through the lighter color.

Mounting:

After painting, trim the Body along the trim lines as shown below, emphasized by the dark shading in the ﬁ gure below. There is an

indented trim line around the Body which can be used as a guide for trimming. Make ﬁ ve 13/64” -diameter holes at the locations marked

with dimples. There are two on the front hood, two on the back window and one on the roof. These will be the Body mounting and Antenna

holes.

Now trim the rear Wing along the trim lines shown below. Drill two 7/64” diameter holes in the dimples of both the Body and Wing. Cut

out and mount the optional Winglets using the two 4-40 x 5/16” Aluminum Button Head Screws and nylon 1/4” Nuts as shown below. With

the Wing assembled and the Body completely trimmed, mount the wing to the body using two more 4-40 x 5/16” Aluminum Button Head

Screws and nylon 1/4” Nuts (shown in Step F-09).

In order to mount the Body, the center Body Post must be cut down, it should be used to support the Body, but not protrude through it or

prevent it from sitting easily.

Stickers:

After the Wing and Body are mounted, you can apply the stickers. Cut the stickers from the sticker sheet that you wish to apply to the

Body or Wing. Before removing the protective backing, ﬁ nd the desired location. Remove the backing completely and reattach an edge of the

sticker to the shiny side of the backing material. Using the rest of the backing material as a handle, position the sticker and press ﬁ rmly into

place to complete its application.
