panels overlap. We recommend that you apply clear adhesive tape over the faces into which the
hinges are to be glued, as damp tends to get under the film at these points and lift the edges.

Assembling the ELEKTRO KADETT
The wing
Mark the centre on the wing dihedral brace.
Glue the dihedral brace in the right-hand wing panel using plenty of glue. Allow the adhesive to set
hard, then glue the wings together.
Apply the self-adhesive tape over the wing centreline to conceal the joint.
Use a fingertip to locate the aileron servo openings, the cable openings and the retaining screw holes,
and run the tip of a hot soldering iron round them to melt away the unwanted covering film.
Press the rubber grommets and tubular rivets into the servo mounting lugs.
Extend the servo leads using extension leads, Order No. 3935.32, secure the connections (e.g. using
plastic retainer clips, Order No. 3503) and draw the leads through the wings.
Place the servos in the servo wells, drill 1.5 mm Ø pilot-holes through the mounting lugs and secure
them with the screws supplied with the servos.
Screw a plastic clevis on each of the aileron pushrods.
Set the aileron servos to centre by connecting the receiving system and switching on the transmitter
and receiver; check that the transmitter trims are at centre. Fit the output arms on the servos and
secure them with the output arm screws. Connect the plastic clevises to the servo output arms to allow
you to mark the position of the horns on the ailerons. Note that the 2 mm Ø holes in the ailerons for
the horn retaining screws must be positioned so that the clevis linkage point lines up exactly with the
aileron hinge pivot line.
Remove the pushrods, and fix the horns to the ailerons using the retaining screws and spreader plates
supplied. Sand or file back the screws flush with the spreader plates on the top surface.
Connect the clevises to the aileron horns. Set the servos and ailerons exactly to centre, and mark the
point on the pushrods where they cross the servo output arms. Bend the pushrods at 90° at the
marked point.
Fit the retainer clips on the pushrods, and cut off the unwanted pushrod material, leaving about 1 mm
excess.
Fit the pushrods in the servo output arms and engage the retaining clips to secure them.
Fit the plastic bushes in the screw holes in the wing to reinforce the holes. The wing can now be
attached to the fuselage using the plastic screws supplied.
