access to interconnect the rest of the equipment between the wing root and fuselage. All persons must
still hold and support the wing to avoid its fall. Support the wing at the area of its root rib with a help of
the assistant (or you can support it by your knees) to be able to interconnect the rest of the equipment.
Then connect the equipment:
- static and dynamic pressure hoses of Pitot tube (on the left wing only)
Note: Pay attention not to interchange the hoses of Pitot tube during assembly.
- quick couplings of fuel hoses
- cable connector of the fuel gauge
- cable connector of the strobes/position lights
(if equipped with)
Push the wing towards the fuselage to attach it completely without any gap in between. Insert main wing
pins into the holes with fittings. Insert the upper pin (without thread) first and then insert the lower pin
(with thread). This operation requires careful use of the hammer and any auxiliary meta
llic rod (Ø 18mm)
to beat the pins into the holes. During this operation, the assistant (holding the wing by the wingtip) pays
attention to keep the correct dihedral angle. If needed, he can slightly lift the wing to match the holes with
the fittings and so to get appropriate position needed for smooth passing of the pins through the fittings.
Both pins must be inserted to their fully beaten position. Then the assistant can leave the wing then.
From the upper side, secure the pins by the bolt and tighten it by the torque 25 Nm. Install the M10 self-
locking nut on its lower end to secure the wing connection properly. Finally, cover the holes with composite
covers (delivered with the plane). Upper one with the hole heading backwards, lower one is half ball-
shaped. Or when any next re-assembly, you can use any removable white plastic sticker (to avoid water
intrusion).

Flaps pushrods connection inside the cockpit
Remove the seats to have better access to the flap steering lever situated in the central tunnel. Connect
the pushrod with the lever and secure it by
the pin Ø
5mm and split pin (all parts delivered with
the pushrod). Eventually, it is possible to insert the p
in Ø 5mm
via from the bottom side (better
accessibility to insert the spacer and split pin). Install seats back.
•
Ailerons pushrods connection inside the cockpit
Screw the connecting pushrods of the ailerons to the control stick to be in fully tightened position. Then
loosen it again by a number of turns indicated on the pushrod. This assures correct neutral position of
ailerons. Secure the connection with
the pin Ø
5mm and spacer + split pin (all parts delivered with the
pushrod).
