The servos
for rudder
and elevator
are mounted
inverted in the floor
of the cockpit. Access
through hatch in the bottom
The throttle servo is
mounted next to
the tank,
behind the
fire wall
The aileron interconnecting
wire runs thhrough
guides in the
upper wing
adjustment after a while. Aileron can be adjusted
with the clevices connecting to the aileron horns.
Assembly of wing panels
1. Push the lower wing halves into the holes
in the fuselage.
2. Push the upper wing halves into the holes
in the wing cabane. Connect the flying wires and
the landing wires. Attach the flying wires in place.
Attach the landing wires in place.
3. Install the interplane struts. Note that the
approx. 1/8" shorter struts fit in the front positions.
Connect the strut cross bracing by clipping the
kwick links in place.
The wires from the aileron servo run from
the fuselage to the pulleys on the underside of the
upper wing. The upper aileron horns are connected
with a wire running on top of the wing and joined
in the center. The aileron control wires form a
Turnbuckle for rigging
The tailskid
can be
reached from
under the
stabilizer
closed loop from the servo in the fuselage.
Should you need to replace a wire, use the
attachment method indicated in the picture. When
crimping the cerulet (sleeve) use a flat plier or a
crimping tool, press firmly and don't cut through
the wire.
Landing gear
1. Install the landing gear in the holes in the
fuselage and secure with crossbracing.
2. Install the wheels on the shaft and secure
with the stoppers.
3.Lace rubber bands in the fashion shown in
the sketch. This is a very efficient shock absorber.
Balancing
The center of gravity / balancing point
should be approx. approx. 14 cm (5.5")
measured from the leading edge on the upper
wing. Make adjustments if necessary.
