MOUNT THE PILOTS
Two Williams Brother’s #62600 Sportsman 3"(1/4-
scale) pilots (WBRQ2626) were mounted in this
model. Even though the model is slightly smaller than
quarter-scale, these pilots look best.
1. Make a mounting platform from leftover
3/32"hard balsa. The platform fits between the
fuselage side stringers and will be glued to the
bottom of the cabin frame. Paint the platform flat
black. Note that the sides have been masked from
the paint to expose the wood for a better glue joint to
the bottom of the cabin frame.
2. Cut a notch in the outer shoulder of both pilots
to accommodate the cabin frame.
3. Shape, then glue sheets of leftover 1/8"[3.2mm]
plywood inside the base of both pilots.
4. Glue the mounting platform to the bottom of the
cabin frame. Be certain the platform will fit between
the fuselage side stringers when the cabin top is on
the fuselage.
5. Place one of the pilots on the platform. Drill two
3/32"[2.4mm] holes through the platform and the
bottom of the pilot. Enlarge the holes in the platform,
then mount the pilot to the platform with two #4 x
1/2"[13mm] screws and washers (not included).
6. Mount the other pilot the same way.
