Put one of the supplied wheel collars on each side of the axle, followed by the 
 wheel, followed by another wheel collar. 

 

Locate the predrilled holes 
and install the two flying wire 
brackets near the landing 
gear struts on each side of 
the fuselage using the M3x16 
self-tapping screws provided  

 

Install the tailskid wire in the 
groove of the wooden tail skid 
using thick CA or epoxy.  
Then wrap the wire and the 
wood using the scale rope 
provided.  Put thin CA on the 
rope to hold it in place. 
 

INSTALL YOUR RECEIVER NOW 

 

Plug all of the servos and the ESC into 
your receiver and mount it somewhere 
in the area of the cockpit.  Plug in the 
12" extensions you will connect to the 
aileron wires.  (You can use a "Y" 
extention for this, but using aileron 
differential will require two separate 
channels and separate extensions.)  
Pull the extensions through the holes in 
the top of the fuselage near the rear cabane mounts. 

 

Now is a good time to tighten the pull - pull cables and set the direction and travel of 
the elevators and rudder (see Setup below).  The cables should be just tight enough 
that there is no sag between the ends.   
 

FITTING THE WINGS: 

 

Mount the bottom wing onto the fuselage using the supplied nylon machine screws. 

 

Now mount the top wing using the supplied M3x10 machine screws to connect the 
cabane struts to the blind nuts in the sides of the fuselage and the supplied M3x10 
machine screws, M3 locknuts and flying wire brackets to connect the interplane 
struts to the wooden tabs in the top of the bottom wing.  (See photos below.) 

 

INSTALLING THE FLYING WIRES: 

 

 

Select one of the two remaining long cables and connect the clevis to the flying wire 
bracket at the top of the rear cabane strut.  This cable goes through a crimp tube, 
through the bracket at the bottom of the interplane strut, back through the crimp tube
