push the brass spacer sleeves into the holes in the grommets from the underside.
TIP: slip the spacer sleeves onto a small screwdriver first; this makes them easier to insert.
Screw the servo to the servo mount as shown in the drawings.
•
Cut out the hatch cover (part 25) from the vacuum-moulded sheet; the cut-line is indicated by a bulge on
•
the inside. Cut out the front air intake (part 26), sand the cut edge flat, and glue it to the front face of the
air tube (part of the hatch cover). Don't drill through the air intake or otherwise open it up, as this would
allow water to enter the hull if the boat capsizes; the model would then sink.
Two different air intakes are included in the kit.
•
Select the air intakes 27 or 28 to suit the specific boat you wish to emulate.
These parts should also be cut out along the line marked by the inner bulge; sand them flat and glue the
•
half-shells together.
Use Stabilit Express, UHU-Acrylit or UHU-Plast Spezial for this. When the glue has set hard, fill and
•
sand the joint line on the outside. Glue the air intakes on the stub pipes, but do not open them up (see
above).
Glue the exhaust pipes 29 to the rear of the ventilator plinths using simple butt-joints. Do not open the
•
ventilators.

PaintingSand all the glued joint seams and make good any imperfections using filler paste where required.
Gaps and cracks can be filled using UHU-Plast Spezial.
When you are satisfied, sand the boat and the hatch cover overall using 400-grit to 600-grit abrasive
•
paper or a fine sanding pad, using light pressure and a circular motion.
Wash all traces of sanding dust from the model, and wipe it with a liquid detergent solution to remove
•
any traces of grease.
We recommend that you finish the boat using spray paints or an airbrush.
•
The large smooth surfaces of the model are an ideal basis for airbrush pictures.
•
Please ask your local model shop or specialist paint dealer for advice on the best paints to use, and be
•
sure to select a paint system which adheres well to ABS plastic. Do not combine paints made by
different manufacturers.
Cellulose paints are not recommended as they tend to attack and dissolve the plastic.
•
Allow the paint to dry thoroughly before re-installing the rudder system, shaft and motor.
•
Press the rubber bellows into the 7 mm Ø holes in the transom, and run cyano round them to produce
•
watertight joints.
Screw the clevises onto the rudder pushrods.
•
Lightly grease or oil the rudder pushrods and push them through the rubber bellows from the inside of
•
the boat.
Connect the clevises to the outer holes in the servo output lever. Push the rudder pushrods through the
•
rubber bellows.
Install the receiver in the hull adjacent to the servo mount using self-adhesive Velcro (hook-and-loop)
•
tape.
