MOUNT THE HATCHES AND LANDING GEAR ❏ 1. Cut the openings for the aileron and flap (if
used) hatches. Start by cutting a small hole, then enlarging the hole until you get to the ribs and the servo rails. Use the die-cut 1/16" [1.6mm] plywood hatches as templates to enlarge the openings until the hatches fit perfectly (with an approximately 1/64" [.5mm] gap all the way around). Note that the ribs support both the sheeting and the hatch, so you’ll have to work with precision.
❏ 2. Center the hatch in the opening. Hold the hatch
down so it will not move, then drill 1/16" [1.6mm] holes through the hatch and the mounting rails.
❏ 3. Remove the hatch. Enlarge the holes in the
hatch only with a 3/32" [2.4mm] drill. Countersink the holes in the hatch with a small countersink, a hobby knife or a Dremel #178 cutting bit (shown in the photo).
❏ 4. Mount the hatch to the wing with four #2 x 3/8"
[9.5mm] screws. If necessary, perfect the gap all the way around the hatch by trimming the hatch or the opening. Remove the hatch, then use medium CA to glue the sheeting to the ribs and rails where it wasn’t glued before.
