Join the two halves of fuselage

If you have other wiring or modifications to add for the build run those through the

fuselage and tail-boom before closing the fuselage

*Note: Double check to ensure all parts are prepared and no parts are missing.

MAKE SURE to plan where you need glue before you begin!

Glue the left-half of fuselage, and other reinforcements parts that also need gluing

where the fuse halves meet. Make sure ample glue is across all points to be connected.

*Note: All gluing needs to be done at one time so make sure to move quickly

once starting as glue will dry fast. Gluing should be completed in about 9 minutes.

Add a moderate amount of glue to the contact surface.

Too much glue can cause erosion in the foam.

please find out one wood washer

size Φ15MM Thickness 3 0MM

add a little glue install it to the bottom of the tail boom

Join both halves of fuselage immediately after gluing, press firmly and use clamps

or other tools like painters tape to secure it until glue has dried.

Generally with air-drying indoors the glue will set after a 24 hour period.

Some of Penguin owners preferred to install the servo on the H wing directly or at the back of

the fuselages The Main purpose is to

Another reason is to use as shorter pull rod as possible this is good to protect the Servo Gear

Here Shown is the pilot modified his Airplane for your reference

avoid cutting out a hole by the side of the fuselage
