Trim the clear canopy to fit hatch.
Install pilot(not supplied) if desired.
Canopy should fit flush with the tur-
tledeck bulkhead at the read and the
canopy frame at the bottom. Do not
glue canopy on with frame off plane.
canopy mount bolt
With hatch bolted in place, put wax
paper between the turtle deck and
hatch and between bottom of hatch
and fuselage side to prevent gluing
hatch to fuselage. If you do not have
the hatch bolted in place when glu-
ing the canopy on , it is very easy to
warp the hatch with the canopy and
then it will not fit on the fuselage.
use a pin through the holes inside the
fuselage to locate the canopy mount
hole. Remove covering from hole and
attach the hatch using the two 6-32 x
1” socket head screws. The blind nut
are already installed in the hatch.
Final Set Up
The CG is 7” behind the leading edge
of the top wing measured in the cen-
ter section of the wing.
The elevator throw should be set at
1” low rate, 2-1/2” high rate,rudder
2” low rate, 5” high rate, and
ailerons 1/2” low rate, 1-1/4” high
rate.
The cabane struts attach to the top
wing with 6-32 aircraft lock nuts. The
I-strut bolts should be attached
using low strength thread lock.
Regular thread lock may be too
strong and cause the blind nut to
pull out when the bolts are removed.
The canopy should also be attached
using the low strength thread lock.
The cabane struts should already
have regular thread lock on the
bolts where they are attached to the
fuselage, if not be sure and thread
lock them. There is a lot of vibration
with a single cylinder gas motor and
care must be taken to make sure all
the bolts stay put. Run the engine and
range check the radio. Run it at full
throttle to check the vibration and
