E-flite Alpha Sport 450 PNP Assembly Manual
OPTIONAL - EPOxy ThE WING hALvES
As an option, you can use epoxy to join the wings
together of your Alpha 450. Make sure your vehicle
is large enough to accept the assembled wing before
gluing the two panels into a one-piece wing.
A. Mix 1/2 oz (15ml) of 6-minute epoxy. Use
an epoxy brush to apply a thin layer of epoxy to
the exposed plywood on the left and right wing
panels as shown.
B. Use six 3-inch (76mm) pieces of low-tack
tape, three on the top of the wing and three on
the bottom of the wing, to hold the wing panels
together until the epoxy fully cures.
C. Use a paper towel and rubbing alcohol to
remove any excess epoxy from the wing before it
has a chance to cure. You may need to use two or
three clean paper towels to remove all the epoxy
residue from the wing.
4. Plug the leads from the aileron servos into the
Y-harness from the receiver that is plugged into the
AIL port of the receiver.
5. To fit the wing to the fuselage, rest it on the
fuselage as shown. The dowels at the front of the
wing will fit into the holes in the fuselage. Slide the
wing forward until the leading edge of the wing is
against the fuselage as shown in the bottom photo.
