Default RE: Multiplex Mentor

The next step is to join the fuselage halves. I have found from assembling previous Multiplex Elapor models that using medium CA and a spray accelerator like the Pacer (PT-15) Zip Kicker makes this assembly procedure quite easy. After first test fitting the two halves, I applied CA to one side and sprayed kicker onto the other side. You can then press the two halves together being careful not to warp the fuselage tail in the process. It is helpful to do this on the floor with towels under the fuselage so it can be compressed with multiple hands. I finish this procedure by checking all the seams and re-applying CA where needed.
