Securing the aileron pushrods Install the wing mounting dowels
D 20. Locate the 1/4" (6.5mm) diameter clear
retaining tube and cut two 1/4" (6.5mm) pieces. Slide
one piece onto each clevis to secure the connection
between the clevis and the horn.
This concludes the wing assembly for now. Tape the
pushrods to the wing to keep them in place until you
install the servo.
D 2. Insert both wing mounting dowels so they
protrude an equal distance on both sides. Mix 1/4oz.
(7.4ml) of 30-minute epoxy. Apply glue around the
dowels next to the fuselage and slide them in and out
to help force the glue into the holes. Using a paper
towel, spread the excess glue around the ends of the
dowels. This will fuelproof and add strength to the
wood. From the inside of the fuselage, apply more
epoxy around the dowels where they meet the sides of
the fuselage. These wing dowels will be used as anchors
for rubber bands to hold the wing in place. Wipe off all
excess epoxy with a paper towel and rubbing alcohol.
Locate the wing dowel holes
D 1. Locate the four round holes (two on each side of
the fuselage, see photo below for reference) and
remove the covering over each hole.
Caution: Do not cut out the rectangular holes in the
side of the fuselage.
Locate the stabilizer slot
D 3. Locate the horizontal stabilizer slot under the
covering on the tail section of the fuselage by pressing
lightly with your finger. The slot is located on both
sides of the tail. Using a hobby knife, carefully remove
the covering, exposing the slots.
NOTE: Do not cut into the wood around the slot.
