6.0 AIRCRAFT ASSEMBLY PROCESS
The following are the required steps to get the ARF A-7 Corsair II ready to fly. If
at anytime you have a question please feel free to email or call. We are here to
help you have a good experience and enjoy this hobby.
6.1 Wing Assembly (Flaps/Ailerons)
1. ‰
Locate the wing servo mounting plate (1 for
each wing panel). This will mount the flap
and aileron servos. Note that there is a left
and a right.
‰
Test fit the part into the wing saddle. If
necessary, remove any interference material
to achieve a proper fit. Remove the balsa
cross brace to allow for the servo leads.
‰
Mount the flap and aileron servos into the
servo mount pulling the servo leads through
the center hole.
2. ‰
With the servos installed, glue the wing servo
mount into the wing root using 5-minute
epoxy. Ensure no interference with the servo
leads in the event a servo is to be removed.
‰
Center each of the servos and install the
servo arms.
Note: The forward (closest to
leading edge) servo is the aileron servo with
the arm directed downward towards the
fuselage. The rear servo is the flap servo
with the arm directed upwards toward the
main hatch. This is the intended
configuration.
3. ‰
Locate 4 each of 4-40x¾” bolts, ¼” wheel
collars, and 4-40 horn brackets.
‰
Using a Dremel cutoff wheel bevel the head
of each of the 4-40 bolts. This will allow for
the horn bracket to reach to the top of the
bolt.
‰
Thread each of the horn brackets onto the 4-
40 bolts. Ensure they are screwed
completely to the top of the bolt head.
‰
Test fit the ¼” wheel collar onto the wing
torque tubes. Additionally, check fit the 4-40
bolts into the ¼” wheel collar. Ensure the 4-
40 bolt tightens well.
Note: horn bracket
orientation should be parallel to servo
actuation when bolt is fully tightened.
