Sand, paint and reassemble the
Gondola.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Getting ready for
paint
Remove the frame braces and use CA to
harden the plywood where the frame braces mount to the pay-load plate. Then
reinstall the frame braces.
OK
before you paint the frame.
I have revised the
rear main gear and have the details ready. However, I need you to email me here
at: paraplanes@atlantic.net so
I can send the .46 SB main frame update to you. It is a simple revision to the
main frame and even if you have already built the .46 Gondola and have been
flying it. You too can update your gondola to the new design.
Sand and paint
the Gondola and fuel tank compartment lid.
Place double sided tape on each
servo as shown.
Install the throttle
servo
Once the paint has cured you are ready to
assemble the model for the final time starting with the throttle
servo.
Note: You will use double sided tape and
the piano wire brackets made earlier to mount the servos. You will use 1/16''
wheel collars to secure the piano wire mounting brackets. I solder all the
collars except the ones on the battery bracket.
Engine mount.
Install the steering
servos
Large scale
servos.
Fuel tank.
Install the switch and
battery
Switch and
battery.
Antenna tube.
Mount the receiver inside the fuel
tank compartment.
Push the receiver antenna through the antenna tube.
Be sure to pull all the
antenna wire through the tube. DO NOT leave any antenna wire inside
the
fuel tank compartment
and NEVER cut the antenna wire. Let the extra hang from the antenna
tube.
If you have questions
just ask I am always glad to help when I can.
It will also help me (if you have a
problem) to let me know which step your on.
