Once fully home insert the ½" main pins through the seat back
approximately 1" and insert the 1/4” pip pin vertically through the rear
12 mm pin and receptacle. Ensure it springs back into the locking position.
In a similar manner engage the starboard wing, push the ½" pins in the seat
back bulkhead fully home, and latch.
The aircraft can now be removed from the transporter.
De-rigging the wings is the reverse of rigging.
Tailplanes
The tailplanes, port and starboard, engage on the tailplane torque tube that
passes through the rear of the fuselage, and are held in place by 1/4” pip
pins. The tailplane is driven by two 1/4” drive pins which locate into bushes
built into the tailplane inboard rib. The anti-servo/trim tab drive is also
located into the drive tube passing through a slot in the fuselage sides.
Rigging the tailplanes
Inspect the individual tailplane for damage. Inspect the tailplane torque
tube for damage, scoring or corrosion. It should be kept well greased. A
plastic tube can be slid over it for ground handling and to stop dust from
sticking to the grease.
Warning: Take care when sliding the tailplane onto the tube, make sure
that they are supported until the tube contacts the outer bush in the
tailplane - avoid using any force.
Hold the tailplane as shown, holding the anti-servo/trim tab from flapping
around.
