Use the flat parts with claws on upper side and press the
into the EPO. The pilot pins goes through the elavator and
reache the middle of the mounting socket of the rudder.
Put the opposite plate on the lower side and screw rudder
and elevator together.
The model is completely covered with a co-
lor, which includes a lot of aluminium pow-
der. This aluminium parts are a shielding
against radio waves. So we recommend, that
the Rx antenna should go through the base
of the canopy to reach the cockpit inside.
First connect the wires, coming from the retract (No. 5)
and from the steering servo (No. 4) to the according plugs.
Then connect all other plugs to the receiver. Take care,
that you have the correct channels of your radio.
For Tactic and Futaba radios apply the following channels:
1. Ailerons 2. Elevator
3. Throttle 4. Rudder
5. Retracts
If you like to connect the two aileron servos to separate
channels, you have to change the aileron V-cable to 2
pcs. of 10 cm servo extensions.
In the picture above, you can see a possible placement of
the receiver. The antenna is pointing upwards.
With a hot brass tube you can make a hole in the bottom
of the cockpit. The direction of the hole should be retro-
verted a little, that you meet the place between pilot and
pilots seat. Glue a drinking straw into the hole, that the
antenna is gliding inside the straw without any resistance,
when you snap in the canopy.
Hole for antenna
Glue the elevator levers into the flap. Do not forget to sand
the glueing areas before. Take care, that the screw for
mounting the linkage wire points to the middle of the
elevator. Otherwise you cannot reach the screw.
