WARNING!

   

Always

 

balance

 

your

 

model

 

and

 

check

 

the

 

CG

 

before

 

your

 

first

 

flight!

  

ALWAYS!!

  

If

 

the

 

CG

 

is

 

too

 

far

 

off

 

you

 

will

 

crash.

  

If

 

it

 

is

 

a

 

little

 

off,

 

it

 

will

 

just

 

fly

 

terribly.

  

If

 

you

 

don't

 

have

 

a

 

balance

 

machine,

 

get

 

one

 

because

 

they

 

are

 

worth

 

it.

If

 

you

 

want

 

to

 

take

 

the

 

time

 

for

 

an

 

easy

 

wing

 

servo

 

connector,

 

solder

 

up

 

a

 

pair

 

of

 

Multiplex

 

connectors

 

for

 

each

 

wing.

  

Then

 

you

 

will

 

always

 

be

 

sure

 

that

 

the

 

flap

 

and

 

ailerons

 

are

 

plugged

 

in

 

correctly,

 

and

 

you

 

will

 

only

 

have

 

one

 

plug

 

for

 

each

 

wing

 

instead

 

of

 

two.

  

I

 

always

 

do

 

this

 

on

 

my

 

big

 

planes

 

where

 

there

 

is

 

more

 

than

 

one

 

servo

 

per

 

wing.

  

Just

 

take

 

some

 

3"

 

servo

 

extensions

 

and

 

clip

 

off

 

the

 

ends

 

and

 

carefully

 

solder

 

up

 

the

 

Multiplex

 

connectors

 

as

 

shown

 

in

 

the

 

pictures.

  

Be

 

sure

 

to

 

use

 

heat

 

shrink.

  

You

 

can

 

also

 

glue

 

the

 

female

 

connector

 

to

 

the

 

fuselage

 

and

 

make

 

each

 

wing

 

plug

 

in

 

automatically

 

as

 

you

 

slide

 

it

 

in

 

place.

Page 1: ...ugh doorways with those wings The kit is an easy build but requires a lot of patience The motor ESC and radio installation is easy but the wings take some time to do right I have already worked out all the bends and tricks you will need to shoe horn in the servos and get the recommended control throws to fly this awesome glider Have fun and take your time You will be rewarded with an excellent fly...

Page 2: ...but expect to do some modifications to avoid binding of the control rods The low profile servos are more expensive but I think they are worth it If you don t use a low profile servo or you want more than 20 degrees of stock flap deflection you will have to install the flap control linkage with the arm in the down position There are plastic bumps supplied in the kit to protect and cover the servo a...

Page 3: ...ron Linkage Clearance 4 Clear the flap linkage exit hole at an angle so it doesn t bind when the flap is extended down Reference Figure 6 Flap Linkage Exit Clearance 5 Before flight you must glue down the elevator control rod inside the fuselage about 12 aft of the servos as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 You can use 30 minute epoxy and micro balloons This will eliminate any flex in the control ro...

Page 4: ...x of 12mm and the up aileron max deflection to 20mm measure from the inboard edge of the aileron Check your aileron throws and set your servo travel in the transmitter to get these settings Also make sure the full flap deflection gives you 20 mm down as measured from the inboard edge of the flap The rudder and elevator deflections should also be set per the manual The mixes and dual rates for easy...

Page 5: ...f Multiplex connectors for each wing Then you will always be sure that the flap and ailerons are plugged in correctly and you will only have one plug for each wing instead of two I always do this on my big planes where there is more than one servo per wing Just take some 3 servo extensions and clip off the ends and carefully solder up the Multiplex connectors as shown in the pictures Be sure to us...
