28.
Use the hardware supplied with your front
elevator servo to attach the arm to your
servo and to mount your front elevator servo
under the seat.
29.
Attach the approx. 3
3/4
-inch long pushrod
(shown below on
1/4
-inch squares) between
the pilot's control stick and the front
elevator servo's EZ-Link
connector.
30.
Center your front elevator
servo and use the EZ-Link
connectors and clevises to adjust the pilot's control stick to a
near vertical position and to adjust the front elevator to the same
angle of attack as the horizontal stabilizer. Securely tighten the
EZ-Link connectors onto the front elevator’s pushrods.
31.
After adjusting the pilot’s control stick and front elevator,
secure the clevises to their pushrods with CA adhesive or epoxy
glue.
32.
Use a 6-inch Y-harness to couple the front and rear elevator servos
and attach the Y-harness to the elevator port on your receiver.
33.
Use the hardware supplied with your motor to test-fit your motor with its propeller shaft at the
intersecting lines on the rear "firewall" of the motor-mounting box.
(NOTE: If necessary, adjust the size of the precut
opening at the center of the firewall to fit your motor.
Customers are free to choose whether to mount the
motor on the outside, rear surface or on the inside
surface of the motor mounting box's “firewall.”
Mounting the motor outside, behind the mounting box,
may help the CG and provides more space inside the
box for your ESC. Mounting the motor inside the box
might provide a more realistic, scale-like appearance.
If you use machine screws to mount your motor, be
sure to apply threadlock compound or CA adhesive.)
34.
Connect the 3 wires from your motor to your electronic
speed control (ESC). Position your ESC in the front of the
motor-mounting box.
35.
Guide the red and black ESC-to-battery wires and the ESC-
to-receiver wire servo-like wire out through the front of the
motor-mounting box.
36.
To test-run the motor and observe its direction of rotation:
Connect your ESC’s throttle lead to your receiver, carefully
connect the ESC’s battery lead to your flight battery, and operate
the motor only briefly and at low power. (NOTE: Although this aircraft is a “pusher,” test flights
were performed with “tractor” propellers, with the motor setup to rotate in the clockwise
direction as viewed from the rear of the airplane. No matter which type propeller you choose,
always mount your propeller with its front/curved surface facing toward the motor in the
direction of flight.) Reverse either 2 of the 3 motor wires if your motor runs in the wrong
direction.
(NOTE: Your receiver may be
placed under the pilot’s seat
as pictured above.)
