PREPARATIONS
❏
1. If you have not done so already, remove the major
parts of the kit from the box and inspect for damage. If any
parts are damaged or missing, contact Product Support at
the address or telephone number listed in the “Kit Inspection”
section on the opposite page.
❏
2. Remove the tape and separate all the control surfaces
if not pre-hinged. Use a covering iron with a covering sock
on high heat to tighten the covering if necessary. Apply
pressure over sheeted areas to
thoroughly
bond the
covering to the wood.
ASSEMBLE THE WINGS
Note:
Servos in the top wing are optional. The installation
of the servos is the same procedure for the top and bottom
wings. The top wing is shown in the following steps. The
same procedure should be used to install the servos into the
bottom wing.
❏
1. If you plan to install servos into the top wing, trim the
covering from the servo arm slots in the servo hatch covers
using a sharp hobby knife. If you plan to connect the upper
and lower ailerons with pushrods and have all four ailerons
controlled by the two servos in the bottom wing, then do
not trim the covering from the top wing hatch covers. Skip
to step #9. After step #9, complete the bottom wing servo
installation as described in step #14.
CUT OFF UNUSED ARMS
❏ ❏
2. Cut three arms from a four-armed servo arm for
each aileron servo. Enlarge the outer hole of each remaining
arm with a 5/64" [2mm] drill bit.
❏ ❏
3. Attach a 12" [305mm] servo extension to each
aileron servo and secure the connector using tape or heat
shrink tubing (not included). Center the servos with your radio
system and install the servo arms to the servos perpendicular
to the servo cases as shown. Be sure to reinstall the servo
arm screws into the servos. Install the rubber grommets and
eyelets onto the servo mounting tabs.
❏ ❏
4. Position the servos onto the aileron servo hatch
covers with the servo arms centered in the openings. Place
an aileron servo mounting block behind each servo mounting
tab and mark their locations onto the hatch covers.
