(@) To save time, pack the wing boxas it is constructed. When finished it should contain wings, propellers, horizontal stabilizers, vertical stabilizer, elevators, rudder, tail cone, actuating arms of landing gear doors, main landing gear nacelle doors, nose landing gear doors, spark plugs, radio antennas, bead sight, and one set of self-sealing fuel lines (fuel lines lashed to boards to prevent bending). Before packing, clean these parts withnaphtha and spray all bare metal surfaces with Paralketone, Specification AN-VV-C-576, Coat all surfaces of the propeller with compound. Specification AN-VV-C-876. Seal propeller hub and dome openings with oileloth and waxed paper, Then ppack the propeller in a propeller-shipping box. See figure 12.) Coat eachspark plug contact with compound, Specification AN-VV-C-516. Install brass threaded protector cap, wrap each individual plug in waxed Paper, and pack in a cardboard container marked with the engine serial number and number of the air- plane. (b) Construct and pack the wing box as follows: 1, Nail 2- by 8-inch flooring to three 6- by Grinch skids. 2, Build an inner crate of 2- by 4-inch studding and bracing. 3, Pack ail large parts except tail cone in the horizontal position.
