To determine how to correctly position the vertical engine-bearer struts in their openings in the
top of the lower wing’s center section:
a
) Position the engine-bearer assemblies with
the horizontal engine bearers at approx. 90
degrees to the vertical engine bearers as
shown at the right. Observe that the end of
one of the vertical engine bearers is about
1/4
-inch higher than the other. The ‘higher’
vertical engine bearer will be installed near
the leading edge; the ‘lower’ vertical engine
bearer will be placed near the trailing edge.
b
) Observe the bolts that connect the vertical
and horizontal engine bearers: When the
engine bearer assemblies are correctly
positioned, the heads of these bolts will be
facing each other.
4.
Being careful to
face the heads of
the bolts toward
each other, test-fit
the ‘
HIGHER
’ vertical
engine bearers into
the openings near
the leading edge of
the lower wing’s
center section and
the ‘
LOWER
’ vertical
engine bearers into
the openings near the trailing edge. (NOTE: Do not poke accidently any ‘extra’ holes in the Mylar.)
5.
As shown below, test-fit the horizontal stabilizer into the slot at the rear of each tail boom.
(NOTE: The tail boom’s
SHORTER
struts and the horizontal stabilizer’s
TAN
side are both at the
TOP
.)
6.
Test-fit a servo tray under each side of the hori-
zontal stabilizer above the lower tail booms.
7.
Position the vertical braces
in front of the horizontal
stabilizer into the notched
openings as pictured
at the right.
8.
Tighten all the 2mm dia. bolts
into the nuts on both tail boom
assemblies.
