3. Glue the four die-cut 1/8" ply servo mount
pieces together for the throttle servo. Mount the
servo in the mount. Glue the servo mount to the
fuse side in a location that does not bind your
throttle linkage.
Note:
There is another set of die-
cut 1/8" ply servo mount pieces which can either
be used for a kill switch or a smoke switch or valve,
or not used at all.
SET THE CONTROL THROWS
❏
1. Measuring at the widest part of the trailing
edge of the rudder, ailerons and elevator, set the
control throws as listed below. After a few flights
you may want to change the throws to suit your
own flying style.
Set your control throws as follows:
High Rate
Low Rate
Ailerons:
1-1/4” up
5/8” up
1-1/4” down
5/8” down
Elevator:
1-1/2” up
1” up
1-1/2” down
1” down
Rudder:
1-1/2” left
1” left
1-1/2” right
1” right
FINISHING
❏
1. Finish the cockpit. The cockpit area was
designed to be structure-free so that you could add
as much detail as desired. Add neat details such
as seats and scale instrument panel by installing
the cockpit kit (available separately).
❏
2. Cover the model. If you prefer iron-on
coverings that do not require painting, this type of
model lends itself very well to 21st Century Fabric
®
.
This material has a painted appearance with a
fabric texture. It will make your Super Decathlon
look like it has been covered with fabric and
painted, just like the real Super Decathlons were
when they came off the assembly line! Your
Dynaflite Super Decathlon will require two fifteen-
foot rolls of covering.
❏
3. Finish the hinge installation.
❏
4. Position and glue the windshield to the fuse
with special canopy glue such as RC/56 Canopy
Glue. Paint the cabin and window frames. Trim the
plastic sheets to fit behind the window openings
and glue trim in place with canopy glue.
Note:
Test
spray your paint on a small, leftover piece of your
butyrate windshield and allow to dry for at least
48 hours to ensure compatibility prior to painting
your windshield.
FINISHING THE STRUTS
❏
1. Attach the wing to the fuselage and the struts
to the wings. Place the aircraft upside-down and
support as necessary so that the wing incidence
measured at the fuselage is zero.
❏
2. Use an incidence meter to confirm the 2° of
washout at the wing tips. Remove the struts and
epoxy the strut studs into the struts at the exact
length which gave you the proper washout.
