EDF ACCESS HATCH, TAIL PIPE, and THRUST VECTORING NOZZLE INSTALLATION
Carefully collapse the tail pipe (without creasing) and insert the tail pipe into the fuselage until it reaches the EDF fan housing.
Note,
the tail pipe is asymetrical and can only be installed in one orientation. Make sure the side with the wider opening is inserted
towards the EDF fan housing.
Un-bend the tail pipe. Align the tail pipe with the fan housing, and 'tap' on the tailpipe's aft edge with your palm to help it move forward.
Slide the tail pipe over the EDF Fan Housing. Note, ite may helpful to loosen the 4-EDF Housing screws to allow for more play.
Place the TV nozzle over tail pipe onto the fuselage. Secure the TV nozzle using a #1 Phillips screwdriver and (2) M3x25 Phillips self-
tapping screws.
Note, the TV Nozzle is asymetrical and will only fit the fuselage in one orientation. Do
not
use blue thread
locker on this connection.
Slide the tail pipe until it is flush with the end of the exhaust nozzle. Once satisfied with the finish, secure the tail pipe to the EDF fan
housing using the two included pieces of clear tape at the 2 and 10 o'clock orientation.
Re-Connect the thrust vectoring servos to their respective extensions and secure the EDF acess hatch to the fuselage using a #1
screwdriver and (2) M3x10 Phillips washer head self-tapping screws.
Note, the EDF access hatch is asymetrical and will only fit
the fuselage properly in one orientation. Do
not
use blue thread locker on this connection.
