INSTRUCTIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Cut all fin and wing parts from the BFS-20 balsa stock. Round the outer edges
of all pieces, bot do not round the root, or gluing, edges.

2. Slip the BNC-5E tail cone into one end of the BT-5 fuselage tube. Do not glue
the either of the cones at this time.

3. Cut the canard pylon and the holddown pylon from the BFS-40 balsa stock. Round
only the leading and trailing edges. Do not round the gluing edges.

4. Draw a line lengthwise to the fuselage tube the full length of the tube. Draw a
second line 180 degrees from the first line, also lengthwise to the fuselage,
starting at the front and extending at least 4" toward the rear. Draw a line around
the bottom of the fuselage tube 3/16" from the edge.

5. Attach the canard pylon to the fuselage using Stine's double-glue method, even
with the front edge of the fuselage, and centered on the short line.

6. Lay a piece of wax paper on a flat surface, and assemble the canard pieces, using
clamps and weights to maintain alignment. Do the same with the V-Fin and Subfin
pieces. Glue one wing piece and one strake piece together for each wing half, but
do not glue the halves together at this time.

7. Attach the canard to the pylon as shown in the plan view, using the double-glue
method.

8. Lay one wing half flat on the wax paper, and attach the other half with its tip
raised 1/4". Clamp in place to maintain alignment.

9. Attach the completed main wing to the fuselage along the full-length line, with
the trailing "V" even with the 3/16" line, centered on the long line, and the
leading point of the wing centered on the long line. Use clamps and weights to keep
the wing aligned to both the fuselage and the canard.

10. Attach the V-Fins to the wing tips as shown on the plans, aligning the joint
line to the edge of the wing.

11. Attach the holddown pylon to the fuselage at the leading point of the wing, 
centered on the short line. This pylon should be 180 degrees opposite to the
canard pylon.

12. Attach the 1" dowel to the holddown pylon, as shown. Trim the front of the dowel
to match the angle of the pylon, and contour the dowel to match the pylon.

13. Slip the BNC-5W nose cone into the body tube, and test-glide. Add soft clay weight
to the front of the tube to compensate for any stalling behavior, remove weight to keep
the glider from diving to the ground. If the glider dives without weight, add weight
to the rear until a gentle, nearly-flat glide angle is achieved. Do not glue the cones
in place yet.

14. Use lightweight finishing techniques to complete this glider. J-Tissue and dope
are highly recommended, with careful, light sanding between coats. Dope is a lacquer,
and requires buffing and polishing to achieve a high lustre finish. An acrylic clear
coat may be applied, but go sparingly.

15. Test the glide again, adjusting the weight if needed. Glue the cones in place once
the glide is as desired, and touch up the finish if needed.
