If you wish, you can fit supplementary wing struts and supports as shown in the next
series of photos.
Assembling the BELLANCA
We recommend that you permanently connect 100 mm extension leads to receiver
output sockets 2 and 5 for connecting the aileron servos.
Join the wing panels using the aluminium tube. Connect the aileron servo leads to
the extension leads already plugged into the receiver. Fit the wing root lugs into the
notch in the fuselage former, then secure the wing on the fuselage using the plastic
retaining screws provided.
Fit the flight battery through the opening in the underside of the fuselage and connect
it to the speed controller. Pack foam round the flight pack before fitting the battery
compartment cover to secure it.
Balancing the BELLANCA
The completely equipped model, with the flight battery installed, should balance level
at a point about 65 mm aft of the wing root leading edge, ideally with the nose
inclined slightly down. If necessary, adjust the position of the flight battery, or fit nose
or tail ballast, until the model balances at the stated point. Before flying the aircraft,
set the transmitter trims to centre and ensure that all the control surfaces are exactly
at centre (neutral).
Control surface travels for normal flying
Ailerons
8 mm up and down
Elevators
16 mm up and down
Rudder
20 mm right and left
We recommend that you set 50% Exponential on all channels at the transmitter.
Important:
When fitting and adjusting the various linkages you should ensure that they move
freely, without binding, are able to move to their full extent - including trim travel - and
are not obstructed mechanically at any point.
When you move the rudder stick to the right, the rudder should also deflect to the
right (left stick: left rudder). Pull the elevator stick back towards you, and the elevator
must deflect up (stick forward: elevator down). If you move the aileron stick to the
right, the right aileron should rise, the left aileron fall. When you move the throttle
stick forward, the motor should run at full power.
All that remains is to wish you many hours of pleasure flying your BELLANCA.
Yours - the
Graupner
