7. ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY OF THE AIRCRAFT
At least two persons are necessary to perform the assembly described below:
a)
All parts and elements that are to be assembled must be checked for any
visible damages.
b)
Before commencing assembly, examine general condition of the wings and
fuselage structure. If necessary, clean all bolts, pins and holes and cover
them with thin layer of Vaseline. Check fuel tank breather for any obstruction
(a hole close to the flap drive lever, on the left side of fuselage).
c)
Put the wing on the fuselage in such a way that its central part slips into the
gap over the cockpit.
Flaps must be displaced up in such a way that they are above the flaps drive
lever (picture 8-1).
d)
Put pins into the mounting seats ( 2 in front and 2 in back) Front pins are to
be inserted after removing top windscreen panel, back pins are to be inserted
in the compartment area. The pins are to be secured with bolts. Bolts are to
be secured with cotter pins (picture 8-2).
e)
Flaps drive is to be connected by a clamping ring, secured with bolts. Bolts
are to be screwed into using LOCTITE 262 fluid. They must be secured with
cotter pins from the bottom (picture 8-3).
f)
Ailerons drive is to be connected in the cockpit through placing rods’ eyes on
drive lever pins in the bottom part of the wing. Tighten the castellated nuts
and secure with cotter pins (picture 8-4).
g)
Fix the control drive cover and the panel in front of the windshield.
h)
Insert the pin located in the front part of horizontal stabilizer, to the hole in the
fuselage and tighten two bolts to fix the stabilizer to the fuselage (pictures 8-6
and 8-7)

pin, screw the bolt in and put the cotter pin (picture 8-8)

Disassembly of the plane is to be done in reverse order.
