

The front of the cockpit tub is cut for

clearance to allow it slip around a part that
is mounted to the glare shield.

INSTALLATION OF THE WINGS AND TAIL

WINGS



The wings slide into the fuse and have three

connectors that have to be hooked up. The
connectors are polarized so they will only go
one way.

NOTE:

Use tape or servo locks to hold

connections together.



Wings are retained by two screws in the

back and one in the front. A 9/64

th

driver is

all you need to put the wings on.

NOTE:

You do not have to make these super

tight. A snug twist is all that is needed.
