Step 10 Setting up the aileron upper and lower joiner rods
▼
1. Check that the ailerons are level and inline on both the bottom and top wing.
▼
2. Insert the brass balls into the ball cups on each aileron.
▼
3. Measures the distance from the end of the tread at the ball end to the same point on the opposite
aileron then trim the carbon tube to size.
▼
4. Using epoxy, glue the carbon tubes in place and mark left and right as the length from left and
right may vary.
This system has been used for many years and given excellent service, however, there are many other
ways you can join top and bottom ailerons together so please feel free to use your preferred method.
Step 11 Check the C/G (Centre of Gravity) location and the control throws
▼
1. The C/G location is measured on the top wing at 100mm (4”) back from the leading edge.
▼
2. In order to obtain the correct C/G, move the RX battery inside the fuselage until you are happy
then secure in place.
