This Premium Line model is designed for modellers with little experience. Installing
the receiving system components requires no modelling experience or manual skill.
Adjusting the working systems does call for accurate working and some patience;
please carry out this stage conscientiously. Your care will be rewarded with a model
boat which attracts attention wherever you go, and which will give you many
interesting hours at the lakeside.
This model is capable of manoeuvres which are not feasible with any other model
boat fitted with a conventional propulsion system.
Thanks to the close collaboration with Voith Turbo Schneider Propulsion of
Heidenheim, the model is capable of carrying out the same manoeuvres as the full-
size vessel.
Assembly instructions
•
In the following section the Voith Schneider Propeller is abbreviated to VSP.
•
Stick
: dual-axis transmitter stick
•
Control lever
: lever on the VSP
•
Remove the security packaging, lift the model out of the transport box and place it
in the boatstand.
•
Ensure that all the components are present, and check the transport box for parts
which might have come loose in transit. Any such parts can be re-attached to the
appropriate location on the model with a drop of cyano glue.
•
Lift off the superstructure, followed by the winch.
•
Locate the second hole from the
outside of the double-ended servo
output levers, and open them up
using a 2 mm drill, so that the
clevises can be connected to them.
Press the rubber grommets supplied
with the servos into the mounting
lugs, then push the brass spacer
sleeves into the holes in the grom-
mets
from the underside
.
Place the
servos in the openings in the wooden
plate and fit the four retaining screws
for each one.
IMPORTANT:
ensure that the servo leads are not trapped or
damaged.
•
Screw the threaded rods into the aluminium ball-links and the steel clevises.
Engage the clevises in the drilled-out 2 mm holes in the servo output levers.
•
Remove the black bellcranks from the VSP control levers, as they are not needed.
•
Set the control levers of the VSPs approximately to centre by clamping them with
a suitable tool.
•
Screw the aluminium ball-links to the control levers using the M2 x 12 screws
supplied; you will need to screw the clevises in or out on the threaded rods to
achieve this. Apply a drop of thread-lock fluid, e.g. UHU Schraubensicher (Order
No. 952), to the threads of the ball-links to prevent them working loose. When
tightening the M2 x 12 screws, hold the control levers with pointed-nose pliers to
prevent them moving.

Thread-lock fluid is not necessary at this point, as the linkage balls revolve in the
links themselves. The balls should therefore be oiled lightly.
