have to enlarge the holes to take the screw from
the ball link (Dubro #189 set of 2).
2. Install the servos for rudder and
elevator and temporarily connect the servo arms
to the ball links. Deflection for elevator is 20° up
and down and for rudder 30° right and left..
3. Install and connect the throttle servo
in the fashion you prefer.
4. Install the tank in the available space in front
of the rudder and throttle servos..
5. Install the aileron servo in the lower
part of the fuselage and connect the two wires
from the warping actuator to the srvo arm. Use
the cerulets provided. Stretch the wire and crimp
the cerulets. Make sure that the servo arm and
the actuator arm are parralell.
6. Fasten the upper servo tray and make
the final connections.
7. Install the radio switch on the
dashboard.
8. Place the receiver and the battery

Assembly and rigging
There are 30 pcs of rigging wire fittings
consisting of 2 mm Ø threaded bar stock soldered
to wire eylets. On each there is a 2 mm
locking nut.
Landing wires (top of the pylon) 6 pcs
the rest have one kwick-link added.
Flying wires 6 pcs
Warping wires 12 pcs
Elevator wires 4 pcs
Rudder wires 2 pcs
All wires are fixed at one of their locations and
cut to proper length.
Start with the control wires. The drawing
indicates the location. Insert the wire with kwick
link into the hole in the joy stick. The rudder wires
ar fixed to the rudder bar and need only to be
clipped onto the rudder horn. Note that the elevator
wires are crossed in the fuselage.
The wing rigging starts with the landing
wires wich are fixed to the wings. Add the fittings
to the tower threading a nut halfway in. Alternate
left and right starting from the front / inner
positions. Proceed as described earlier. Proceed
with the flying wires, and attaching the fitting to
the locations on the fuselage.
The lower warping wires are fitted to pulleys.
The upper wires are moving freely in the pulley.
The lower wires are turned around and locked
to the pulleys front and aft. Note that the inner
lower warping wires are fixed to the fuselage.
Covering and finish
The model is covered and painted from
the factory. However where you remove material
from the dummy engine, you have to cover
the areas with fuel proof paint.
The original aeroplane was covered with linen
fabric and coated several times with dope. This
gave a translucent, very glossy finish.
The insignia (roundels on the wing upper
and under sides) are painted with enamel. Same
paint is used on the rudder.
Balancing
The center of gravity / balancing point should be
approx. 4" = 10 cm from the leading edge of the
wing, and make adjustments if necessary.
