INSTALL THE RUDDER PULL - PULL CABLES:
Attach the rudder to the fuselage with two CA hinges using the same procedure as
you used for the ailerons and
elevators.
Locate the two shortest cables and
connect the clevis of one to the
control horn on one side of the
rudder. Thread the cable through the
rear exit hole in the side of the
fuselage. Pay attention to the cable
routing through the rear fuselage.
(See photo above.) You do not want
the cables to rub together. Do not
cross the rudder cables. Put a crimp
tube on the cable and then feed the
cable through the outer hole of that
same side of the servo arm of the
front
servo.
Make sure the servo is
centered
.
Feed the cable back through the crimp tube, then, while holding the rudder centered,
pull the cable tight and finish the cable end the same way as the elevator cables.
Now build the cable for the other side of the rudder the same way. Don't worry too
much if the cables are loose. You will tighten them up later when you set up the
control throws.
ASSEMBLE AND INSTALL THE LANDING GEAR:
Locate the left and right main landing gear struts and the axle, the axle fairing and
the four plywood landing gear fillers. Slip the axle through the fairing and drip thin
CA on the ends to hold it in place. Pass the axle though the round fitting at the
bottom of the both of the struts. Insert the ends of the struts into the slots in the
bottom of the fuselage.
Now you need to add
the plywood fillers.
Push the fillers all the
way in until they are
flush with the bottom
of the fuselage. Do
not put CA glue on the
fillers before you push
them in. The CA will
grab before they are
all the way in. You can
use wood glue or
epoxy, or drip thin CA
on them after they are all the way in.
