Hangar 9 Taylorcraft 26cc BNF

Note

: Do not over-tighten the hardware that 

secures the wing struts to the fittings so the 

struts can be folded in for transport.



 

3. The jury struts are secured using the clevis pins and 

keepers. Attach the struts toward the root of the wing. Note 

the silicone tubing is placed on the pin before its installation. 

The struts can be left folded in for transportation.

 

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the remaining wing  

strut installation.

Wing Installation

Required Parts

Fuselage assembly 

Nylon 1/4-20 wing bolts (2)

Transmitter 

Anodized-aluminum wing tube

Wing assembly (right and left)

 

1. Slide the wing tube into the wing panel as shown. The 

tube will slide in easily, so don’t force it in farther than it will 

easily slide. Also remove the nylon wing bolt from the wing.



 

2. Remove the pins, keepers and silicone tubing from 

the fitting on the fuselage.



 

3. Slide the wing panel into position on the fuselage. 

Make sure to connect the aileron extensions together using 

the connector fasteners.



 

4. Slide the wing tight against the fuselage.

Note

: If the length of the strut is not correct, loosen 

the nut on the strut end. Adjust the position of the strut 

end so the hole in the end aligns with the hole in the 

bracket. Once adjusted, tighten the nut against the end 

to prevent the end from vibrating and changing position.
