Fuselage Assembly
Bolt the front and rear sections of the fuselage together using the four M4 bolts and washers
supplied, ensure these are completely tight and recheck these during routine maintenance. Connect
up extension leads to the leads from the tail servos and lock or tape together for security. Also
connect up the air lines to the underfuselage airbrake.
Temporarily position the tailpipe making sure that it is aligned at the rear of the fuselage and then
offer up the turbine being used and carefully position this , ensuring the turbine manufacturer’s
recommendation as to the correct gap between the rear of the turbine and the front of the pipe is
followed, and that the turbine and pipe are perfectly aligned. Depending on the turbine being used
and its mounts it may be necessary pack the turbine up to obtain this perfect alignment of turbine
and tailpipe, or to add wider sections of ply for narrower turbines Once satisfied drill through the
turbine mounting rails to enable the turbine to be fitted, either using large self tapping screws or
using bolts and spike nuts into the rails.
