If using your existing GWS fuselage this step
would be necessary. Installing Rubber Band
Post Extenders:
One minor design flaw in the
original Slow Stick is that the rubber band
posts are too short. Using 5/32 aluminum
tubing, cut 4 3/8” long pieces. (Some kits may
come with these already cut). Use thick CA
glue and glue them to the existing rubber band
posts of the original Slow Stick wing saddles.
Make sure you do not leave sharp edges that
can cut the rubber bands. I like to fill the tube
with thick CA and leave a bead at the top of the
tube. If you do not have a tubing cutter, you
can use an X-acto knife in a rolling action to
cut the tubing. Our new X-Fuse eliminates the
need for rubber band post extenders.
Main Wing Decal
(not included in “short kit”)
1.
Cut excess material from decal before
removing the backing.
2.
Remove the protective backing to expose
the adhesive.
3.
Add about 3 drops of dish soap to 2 pints of
clean water. Put it in a spray bottle and
spray the back of the decal.
4.
Allow the decal to dry overnight.
5.
Slide the decal into position and squeegee
the excess water from under the decal.
Control Throws
Most advanced modelers will want every bit of
control they can squeeze from this model.
Advanced pilots will set all throws to
maximum and use rates where appropriate.
Beginners should set controls to 50% of the
maximum possible or 25 degrees for ailerons
and elevator and max for rudder.
First flight:
Be sure all controls are set
correctly. Set low rates to about 50%. Take-off
should be at half throttle with recommended
power plant. Climb to a higher altitude and
adjust trims as needed. You should find that
this aircraft has a very low stall rate and is
capable of most acrobatics. Happy flying!
