Locate the two metal interplane struts and four flying wire brackets. Mount the struts
and brackets to the wingtip side of the wooden tabs that protrude from the bottom of
the upper wings using the M3x12 machine screws and M3 locknuts provided.
Locate the fiberglass wing joiner tubes
for the upper and lower wings. Test fit
them into the wings and slide the
wings together to make sure the wing
tube sockets are not obstructed.
Slide the wing joiner tube into one
upper wing half. Put thick CA or
epoxy on the root end of the other
wing and slide the wing halves
together. Glue the lower wing halves
together as well.
Locate the metal rear cabane strut,
the two pre-covered wooden front
cabane struts and four flying wire brackets. Carefully center the rear cabane strut
over the rear mounting position on the bottom of the upper wing. Drill two 1/6" holes,
through the pre-drilled
holes in the strut, into the
wood for the mounting
screws.
Screw the rear cabane
strut in place with the
M3x10 self tapping screws
provided. Mount the front
cabane struts to the
wingtip side of the wooden
tabs that protrude from the
bottom of the wing using
the M3x10 machine
screws and M3 locknuts
provided. Put a flying wire
bracket on the wing tip
side of each strut.
INSTALL THE MOTOR AND ESC:
The twist-on "Max-Cowling" is a Maxford exclusive. Notice the four small holes near
the edge of the front of the fuselage. These are for the screws that hold the cowl in
place. Screw the four provided M2x12 self tapping screws into the holes. Do not
screw these screws all the way in. There should be a 3/32" gap between the screw
heads and the wood. Test fit the cowl by pushing it over the screw head and then
twisting the cowl a few degrees clockwise. If the cowl won't turn, loosen the screws.
If it goes on but is loose, tighten the screws.
