Trim the covering to open up the two elevator slots
and one rudder slot in the rear of the fuselage. The
elevator slots are located closest to the stabilizer on
each side of the fuselage. Open the right side rudder
slot only. The slots can easily be found by shining a
flashlight inside the rear of the fuselage.
Begin the elevator and rudder control rods by
bending 3 rods at a 90-degree angle 8 inches from
the threaded end. Using wire cutters cut the wire
3/16-inch from the bend. The elevator control rod
has two slots in one end, one slot in the other. The
rudder control rod has one slot at each end.
Insert the bent end in the hole with the wire in the
slot. Wrap the wire with thread, soak with medium
CA, and allow to cure. Bend the elevator rod 3
inches and 1.5 inches from the ends at the angles
shown. The rods will be installed later after the
elevator and rudder has been installed.
Drill a 5/32 hole in the firewall at the location
marked earlier for the throttle push rod.
Temporarily install the throttle servo. Make a Z
bend at one end of the throttle wire, install the Z
bend in the servo end and pass the other end
through the fuel tank opening, and out the hole in
the firewall. Make a mark 3/8-inch from the tank
opening at the wire location, and drill another 5/32
hole.
Slide the nylon outer throttle casing through the two
holes until it just passes the front wing support
bulkhead. Trim the casing 3/8-inch forward of the
firewall and epoxy in place. Install the servos
following the radio manufactures instructions.
FUEL TANK
Because the motor and carburator are completely
enclosed by the cowling it will be necessary to ad a
fill/drain line to eliminate the need to remove the
cowl to refuel the aircraft.
Insert the three tubes through the rubber stopper.
Install the inner and outer cap plates and the center
screw, do not tighten the screw. Slide the long and
one short tube in allowing 3/8-inch to protrude to
the outside. The second short tube [
fill/drain
]
should be 1/8-inch beyond the inner plate. Bend the
long tube as shown to the tank top bubble. Insert the
flop weight in the end of the supplied flop tube. Cut
