Wing fillets ❏ 1. The same as the air scoop and wing fairing,
position the fiberglass wing fillets on the wing and fuselage and trace their outline onto the fuselage. Remove the wing. Cut the covering on the fuselage 1/16" [2mm] inside the lines and peel off the covering. (Cutting 1/32" [1mm] inside the lines was appropriate for the air scoop and wing fairing, but 1/16" [2mm] is better for the wing fillets.)
❏ 2. Lay a sheet of wax paper or a plastic film (cut from a plastic bag) over the top of the wing to protect it from glue. Mount the wing. Use coarse sandpaper to thoroughly roughen the inside surface of the wing fillets where they contact the fuselage. 3.Without using any glue, test fit one of the fillets to the fuselage and wing. Press the fillet to the fuselage noting where pressure will be required to make it fit best when actually gluing it on. Remove the fillet.
❏ 4. Apply a bead of medium CA all the way down
the wing fillet approximately 1/8" [3mm] from the top edge. Apply another bead of medium CA down the middle. Do not apply any CA near the bottom of the fillet so glue does not drip out (although it wouldn’t be a disaster as the wing is protected).
❏ 5. Rest the fillet on the wing about 1" [25mm] away
from the fuselage. Then, working quickly, slide the fillet up to the fuselage tightly holding it down to the wing and to the fuselage. Do not relieve pressure until the CA hardens enough to securely hold the fillet it in place.
❏ 6. Glue the other wing fillet to the fuselage the
same way.
❏ 7. Remove the wing and place the fuselage upside- down in your building stand. Apply medium CA to any gaps between the fillets and the fuselage sides. Machine guns ❏ 1. Cut out the molded plastic machine guns first
by cutting 1/8" [3mm] outside the molded-in cutlines, then by cutting on the lines.True the edges with a bar sander and 180-grit sandpaper. Smooth the edges with 400-grit sandpaper.
❏ 2. The same as was done with the other molded
parts, position the machine guns on the wing 4" [100mm] from the “break” in the leading edge, trace their outline, cut and remove the covering, then glue the machine guns to the wing with medium CA.
