The GRP lugs can now be glued permanently in place using UHU plus endfest 300 (slow-setting epoxy) or thickened epoxy laminating resin, applied through the opening in the top of the fin which you cut previously (Fig. 3). You may need to extend the factory-cut slots in the rudder (14) slightly in order to obtain equally large rudder deflection to both sides of centre. Drill a 6 mm Ø hole right through the rudder (14) at the marked point. Cut a 100 mm length from the M3 studding supplied (Fig. 46). The M3 threaded brass sleeves are screwed on both ends of the studding, where they are locked in place using M3 selflocking nuts. The horn lugs are then fitted on both ends of the studding. The completed horn assembly must be symmetrical on both sides as shown in Figs. 47 and 48, otherwise rudder travel will not be equal on both sides. Install this assembly in the rudder, screwing the threaded sleeves onto the studding, and apply plenty of UHU plus endfest 300 epoxy to the M6 through-hole to secure the horn (small items in bag IV). The prepared rudder (14), complete with horn, can now be attached to the fuselage. Cut slots in both sides of the fuselage to clear the horns, and check that maximum rudder travel is available on both sides of centre. Caution: the marked line on the fuselage is only a guide, and may not be accurate for your particular installation. The rudder function (14) is operated by means of two pull-pull cables (braided cable, 0.8 Ø x 2000). Cut slots in the fuselage for the cables at the marked positions, and open them up slightly if necessary to avoid the cables chafing on the GRP fuselage skin. It is also possible to glue two small pieces of plastic sleeve in the slots (as for the steerable tailwheel), and run the cables through the sleeves (rudder cables in bag IV). If you wish to use standard servos to operate the rudder (14) you will need to install the maxi-lever (Fig. 95) in order to obtain suitably large rudder deflections, as required especially for 3-D flying (torque rolls etc.). If you are using two standard-size rudder servos, couple them together as shown in Fig. 38 (four M3 clevises, four locknuts, two threaded rods). Small parts to make up the rudder linkage, maxi-lever (Figs. 46, 93, 95) in accessory pack IV. Wing / fuselage joints The wing joiner tube (15) is supplied overlength and has to be cut to the correct length. The overall length is the sum of the maximum fuselage width (wing joiner sleeve position in the fuselage) and the depth of the joiner sleeves in the left and right wing roots. Measure carefully, carry out the calculation, then calculate again before shortening the tube. We recommend that you saw off slightly less than required from the tube (15), then check and shorten it again as required. The absolute maximum permissible axial play in the wing joiner tube (14) with the wings fitted to the fuselage is about 5 mm. An approximate guide for the overall length of the joiner tube is 1030 mm. Fit the wing joiner tube (15) and the incidence tube (brass tube, 9 Ø x 500) in the fuselage, and plug in the wings. The holes in the wing roots and the openings in the fuselage must line up correctly, and the wings must rest flat against the root fairings, with no gap top or bottom, front or back. The incidence tube (9 mm Ø brass tube) can now be glued in the wings using UHU 13
plus endfest 300. To save weight the brass incidence tube can be shortened from about 350 mm to the point where it projects into the wing roots by about 40 mm on each side. Before you glue the incidence tubes in place permanently (Figs. 55, 56), check one last time that the transition between wing root and wing root fairing is correctly aligned and devoid of gaps. The holes and support points of the wings and joiner tubes are factory-set using complex jigs and fixtures. If the transition area between fuselage, root fairings and wings looks and “feels” correct, then the fit is accurate enough even for fairly demanding flying. Even so, it is always better to measure everything carefully, as minor adjustment may be necessary in rare cases. When the epoxy has cured, saw through the brass incidence tubes inside the fuselage so that they project by about 20 - 30 mm into the fuselage (Fig. 57). Apply UHU endfest 300 to the factory-drilled holes in the wing roots, then fit the screw-hooks (bag VI) in the holes. The wings are held against the fuselage using tension springs (bag I) (three tension springs are connected together to obtain the requisite spring length and retaining power). Tailplane Fit the tailplane joiner tube (17) and the incidence tube (7 Ø x 200 mm brass tube) through the fuselage. The latter can be shortened so that it projects by about 20 - 30 mm into each tailplane panel (19). Glue the incidence tube in both tailplane panels (Figs. 59, 60, 61). The holes and support points of the tailplane and joiner tubes are factory-set using complex jigs and fixtures. If the transition area between fuselage, root fairings and tailplane panels looks and “feels” correct (Fig. 61), then the fit is accurate enough even for fairly demanding flying. Even so, it is always better to measure everything carefully, as minor adjustment may be necessary in rare cases. Use an incidence gauge to check longitudinal dihedral. When the epoxy securing the incidence tube (brass tube, 7 mm Ø) in the tailplane panels (19) has set hard, cut through the tube using a hacksaw blade, working through the rear fuselage opening as shown in Fig. 62. Fig. 64: mark and drill the 7.5 mm Ø hole in the tailplane panels (19) as shown in Fig. 63. Install the tailplane retainer system (contained in bag VIII, with instructions), as shown in Figs. 64, 65 and 66. Glue the aluminium sockets in the 7.5 mm Ø holes using UHU plus endfest 300, and set them parallel to the tailplane joiner tube (17) as shown in Fig. 66. The length of the yoke must be adjusted carefully to match the width of the fuselage. Set the retaining spring tension as described in Point 4 of the “Retainer” instructions. Cut the beech dowel (10 Ø x 140) to fit inside the fuselage between the tailplane root fairings (visible in Fig. 6), close to the tailplane incidence tubes (19). Glue the dowel in place using UHU plus endfest 300. The beech dowel prevents the fuselage / tailplane root fairings twisting or distorting over time due to thermal fluctuations. Don’t omit this part! The actual length of the beech dowel should be around 85 - 90 mm. 14
