1.
Remove packing tape, clean and polish the wing surface.
3.
Find the short servo mounts. Drill pilot holes for the servo mounting
screws.
4.
Carefully roughen the wing servo mounting surface for the servo
mount using either a rotary tool on low speed or 80 grit sandpaper.
Only lightly scuff the inner surface of the wing panel to give the
epoxy something to grip.
DO NOT
sand through the surface of the
wing panel. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly with denatured
alcohol or 91% IPA.
5.
Cut 3 arms from a 4 arm servo horn.
6.
Test fit the servo with the servo arm
installed. Enlarge the opening in the mount
as necessary to allow the servo to sit fully
in the mount.
Test fit the servo mount screws as well to
ensure they do not protrude through the
mount and damage the wing surface. If
the screws protrude, cut them off so they
are below the surface of the mount.
BUILDING PRECAUTIONS
Prepare the work surface prior to beginning the build. The surface
should be soft and free of any sharp objects. We recommend resting
the airframe parts on a soft towel or pit mat to prevent scratching or
denting the surface of the aircraft.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
When transporting and storing your model, you will need a minimum
of 80 inches (2m) in length, and 18 inches (46cm) in height to
accommodate the size of the fuselage. We also recommend the use of
wing and stabilizer bags to help protect these surfaces during transport
and storage. The control horns and linkages can cause damage to
other surfaces even when placed in storage bags. Always transport
and store the wings and stabilizer so the linkages do not contact other
panels to prevent damage.
FLUORESCENT COLOR CARE
The fluorescent color used on your model can fade with exposure to
direct sunlight over time. To increase the longevity of the fluorescent
color on the aircraft, limit the exposure to direct sunlight when not flying.
If repairs become necessary or if you decide to color optional parts
to match the fuselage color, Tamiya spray color, PS-24, Fluorescent
Orange is a close match to the color used on the model. For best
results, PS-24 needs to be sprayed over Tamiya Fine White Primer
(TAM87044) and clearcoated with Tamiya TS-13, Clear.
OUTER WING PANELS
2.
Cut an access hole in the root end of the outer wing panel using a
rotary tool.
TIP:
Make the hole just large enough for the servo connector to fit
through. If the hole is too big, the extension will fall back into the
wing panel when disconnected.
