<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is fine,but not essential to perfectlysand the
cheeks to match the fuse sides. The Hydeout cheeks are already very close
to the right curvature when you trim the flange. As you press them into
place, they will deform a small amount and conform to the fuse side. When
satisfied, tack with thick CA, then work on the fillet. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I forgot, if you have disposable plastic
syringes, you can fill it with the epoxy/micro mixture,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>clip the tip at an angle at the diameter you want
and apply...may go over it with a small spatula</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>or dip your little finger in a bit of 99% alcohol
and run it over the fillet......do a practice run before</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the real deal if you haven't tried this method
before.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would take the flange off.......then in order
to match the contour of the cheeks' base</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to the fuselage, put some stick back sand paper
on the fuselage, where the cheeks </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>will be glued, then move the cheeks back and
forth or up and down to sand to shape.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>120 grit should do....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As for gluing, you can tack glue with CA or 5
minute epoxy, then come back with a </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>fairly dry mixture of micro balloons and slow
cure epoxy and make a small fillet all</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>around....Once dry, use a small diameter dowel
and wrap sticky back sand paper</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>on it to sand the fillet.....should be
easy and the fillet adds about 2 grams to each</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>cheek....about 1/8" diameter fillet should
do.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Before gluing, scuff the the areas that glue
will be applied to with 220ish</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>grit paper lightly </FONT><FONT face=Arial

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>All,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm building a Hydeout and its about finished.
One of the last things I need to do is glue on the cheek cowls. I could
use some advice on how others did this. The cheek cowls have about a 1/2"
flange. The fuse sides are not perfectly flat and I'm dot sure how to hold
them in place as they dry. So here are a few questions for those of you
who have done this:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>1.) What glue did you use?</FONT> <BR><FONT
face=Arial size=2>2.) Did you keep the flange or cut some of it
off?</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>3.) How did you hold it in place
as the glue dries?</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for your
advice!</FONT> </P>
