HMS Prince of Wales Order No.: 2159 - Graupner

• The superstructure for the Prince of Wales is made in two sections which can be removed
completely. These must be removed to perform maintenance and install RC components.
• Solder a G2 plug onto the regulator's leads (+ is red, - is black). Check the direction of the motor's
rotation when the battery is connected. The ship's screw should turn in the direction that would
propel the model forward. NOTICE: The G2 connector system is designed such that the size of
the plastic housing dictates the polarity of connections. When one complies consistently with this
scheme, the batteries and regulator are
exchangeable and reversed polarity conditions
are prevented by this connector system. Follow
one of the following tips to make soldering of the
connector pins easier. These tips also reduce the
chances of damaging model details during the
soldering process. TIP 1: Remove the regulator.
Do this by disconnecting all connectors.
Reassembly is done in exactly the reverse order.
TIP 2: With the help of a so-called "third hand",
the connector can be soldered right next to the
model (see photo).
• Check the screws on the shaft coupling and the propeller to be seated securely (if not already
done) as these could have been loosened during the transport. This can be checked by pulling on
the propeller. If the shaft can be pulled toward the rear then one of the set screws is loose.
Tighten down a loose screw carefully. First remove the superstructure so the stud screw
becomes accessible. NOTICE: Secure a stud screw that has become loose with screw lock lacquer,
e.g. UHU thread-lock fluid (order no. 952), because otherwise vibration could cause it to become
loose again during operation.
