•Wing connection to the fuselage
Prepare two of main wing pins. Lubricate them with an appropriate quantinty of vaseline. Pay
attention to their correct position - UPPER wing pin is WITHOUT thread, LOWER wing pin is WITH
thread.
Your assistant holds the wing on the wingtip and you hold it on the root. (The second assistant which
can hold the wing on flap would be helpful).
Pick the wing up and attach it close to the fuselage so that pushrods (aileron and flap) enter the
fuselage through the appropriate holes, but keep the space between the wing and fuselage yet to
reach enough access to connect the rest of the equipment. All of you are still holding and supporting
the wing against fall. Then you support the wing by your knees (at the area of wing root) and
connect (or you just hold the wing and some next assistant can help you to connect):
- static and dynamic pressure hoses of Pitot tube (just on the left wing)
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 play between the wing and
fuselage. Insert the main wing pins into the hole with fittings (wing attachment) inside. Insert the
upper pin (without thread) first and then insert the bottom pin (with thread). This operation requires
careful use of the hammer and auxiliary metal rod (Ø 18mm) to beat the pin into the hole. During
this operation, the assistant (holding the wing on the wing tip) pays attention to keep the correct
dihedral angle. If needed, he can slightly lift the wing to fit the fittings exactly with the hole in correct
position and so to enable pins easily pass through the fittings. Both pins must be inserted to their
fully beaten position. Then the assistant can leave the wing.
Secure the pin from upper side by the bolt – tightening moment is approx. 25 Nm. Install the M10
locking nut from the bottom side, so that the wing connection is properly secured.
Cover the holes with any plastic white sticker (to avoid water intrusion).
•Flaps pushrods connection inside the cockpit
Take the seats out of the cockpit to have an access to the flap steering lever situated in the central
tunnel. Connect pushrods to the flap lever using the pin Ø 5mm and split pin (all parts
delivered attached to the pushrod). You can insert the pin Ø 5mm from the bottom side (better
accessibility for the spacer and split pin assembly). Install seats back.
•Ailerons pushrods connection in the cockpit
Screw the pushrods to the control stick to fully tightened position. Then loosen it again by a number
of turns indicated on the pushrod. This ensures correct neutral position of ailerons. Secure the
connection with the pin Ø 5mm and split pin (all parts delivered attached to the pushrod).
