Hi All, BigGrin

So Pack 10 has arrived and it covers issues 45 - 50. In these issues we will be fitting some of the large double solar panels together, make another large double solar panel and add to the base extension we started earlier.

Issue 45.

Parts supplied.....Pic 1. You will also need the large double solar panels from issues 44 and 4, plus the main spar and base assemblies from issue 41.

To start take one of the double solar panels already assembled and take note of the three small holes indicated in Pic 2. Then gently press one of the WIRE 1 parts into place as in Pic 3. Repeat that action and fix the other WIRE 1 part onto the other double solar panel, Pic 4. NOTE: Should the WIRE 1 parts be a bit loose, then a very small spot of super glue will cure the problem.

Now position the end of either double solar panel into the grooves in part 26F, as shown in Pic 5. Bring the main spar section from issue 41 to the table and keeping the solar panel correctly engaged with part 26F, turn them over and place them into the open side of the spar assembly, Pic 6. Whilst holding all the parts firmly together, turn them over and fix the all together using 2 x MS9 screws, Pic 7 and 2 x MS4 screws as in Pic 8. Finally for this section add the part 26G to the top of the spar section, Pic 9. NOTE: Use very small spots of super glue if the part is a bit loose. Your solar panel should now look like the one in Pic 10. Store the assembly carefully.

Take the base assembly from issue 41 and place it face down on the table. Press the part BASE 2 into position and fix it using 2 x BIG AS8 screws, Pic 11. Then press the BASE 11 part into place and fix that using a BIG AS8 screw, Pic 12.

That`s all for this update, so I`ll see you soon for issue 46.

Hi All, BigGrin

Here we go with the update for issue 46. We will add trim pieces to the base parts from issue 45 and then add a piece to the spar that has the double solar panel attached, also last worked on in issue 45.

Parts supplied.....Pic 1. You will also need the two assemblies from issue 45.

Start with the base assembly and add the 3 x BASE 12 parts to trim the edge of the base, Pic 2. Note: The positioning of these parts must be as shown as there are other base sections to be added later.

Now take the main spar section with the double solar panel attached and press the part 26H into place, Pic 3. I found this to be a snug fit, so it must be positioned straight with the spar to fit.

That`s all for this update, I`ll see you soon for the next one.

Hi All, BigGrin

Time for the issue 47 update. In this update we start the construction of another double solar panel.

Parts supplied.....Pic 1.

Take the main connector 27A and position the solar panel 3J onto the two small posts. Pic 2. Add the cover 3E, Pic 3 and fix it in place using 2 x MS4 screws as in Pic 4.

Finally press the WIRE 2 part into place on the main connector 27A, Pic 5. As before with the WIRE 1 parts, if the WIRE 2 part is a bit loose then very small spots of super glue will solve the problem.

That`s all for this update, Pic 6. Further construction of this solar panel in issues 48 and 49.
