Installing Plastic Joiner Tube and Coupler
Optional 3-Piece Wing Add-on Kit for Alula:
►
Keep high-strength magnets away from electronics!
I.
Inspect interior of aluminum coupler around set screw.
Using supplied hex key, back out set screw so that
black plastic joiner tube (H) can slide through freely.
II.
Slide coupler onto tube and center.
III.
Firmly press plastic tube/aluminum coupler assembly
into provided channel located at end of each foam
wing panel. Ensure set screw is facing up so that it can
be adjusted during final assembly. See Figure 25. Do
not tighten set screw at this time. Adjust tubing if
necessary so that it does not protrude past end of wing
panel.
IV.
Apply thin instant glue to exposed sides of tube,
allowing it to wick down and in between the foam
and plastic tube. Do not apply excess glue around
ends of tube. In addition, apply a good drop of glue
where coupler meets foam on both sides. See Figure
25. CAUTION: Do not to apply glue in or around set
screw. Using back end of a ball point pen, firmly
press tube down to ensure a good, tight bond between
foam and tube assembly.
V.
Repeat Steps I-IV for remaining wing panel.
VI.
Locate eight circular magnets and note small mark on
the “North” side of each magnet. Keep magnets free
of grease by minimizing handling of them prior to
gluing. CAUTION
:
Magnets must be installed with
proper orientation. It is best to glue one magnet in
place at a time, as adhesive “sets” quickly.
VII.
Place both left and right wing halves on work surface,
top surfaces facing up.
VIII.
Note two deep circular recesses on inner face of
each wing lap joint.
IX.
Remove one magnet at a time from stack. (If you have difficulty, use a razor blade to split magnets
apart). Lay magnet, with black mark showing, next to the first recess on lap joint. Apply one drop of
thin instant glue to bottom of first recess. With dulled graphite pencil tip, slide magnet gently into
recess. Quickly and firmly press magnet into place using pencil tip so that magnet is flush with foam. See
Figure 27 on the next page. Next, quickly wipe away excess glue using a paper towel.
