GREAT PLANES GPMA1154 Owner's manual

  • I have reviewed the technical notice for the PBY Catalina airplane model. This document provides an important correction to the strut installation process, specifically regarding alignment and drilling on the wing. I'm ready to answer any questions you might have about these instructions.
  • Where should the strut rest when installing it on the wing?
    What size hole should be drilled in the bottom of the wing?
    Should the hole be drilled through the top of the wing?
4. After installing the struts to the fuselage turn the airplane
upside-down. Align the struts on the wing making sure that the
strut rests on the wood sheeting, not the open wing structure.
Carefully drill a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole in the bottom of the wing
but do not drill through the top of the wing!
