A close up of the lead-

ing edge. Notice that 

the front bottom edge is 

lifted up from the floor. 

This is all there is to 

create the Semi-

symmetrical airfoil.

Your wing and fuselage 

will not fit perfectly and 

will seem to be incor-

rectly spaced. It’s not. 

Apply glue into the 

gaps and seat the wing 

COMPLETELY

 down in 

the slots, then spread 

the fuselage walls with  

elerator. 

Trim to fit the included 

servo mount wood 

piece and glue it right 

up behind the front 

carbon fiber flat spar.

The servo should now 

be a tight perfect fit and 

will require you to insert 

it diagonally and twist it 

into position.

Use 1 screw on the 

front wood mount and 

use hot glue on the rear  

mount over the carbon 

tube to secure your 

aileron servo.

Now test fit the rear 

top cover and you will 

see that the servo area 

needs to be trimmed in 

order to close properly.

Trim the area around 

the servo.

You will also need to 

trim the area on the 

front top cover piece. 

These 2 top pieces 

should not be glued on.  

Close them with tape 

only for access to the 

gear if needed

Now that the top covers 

are trimmed to fit the 

servo, you can compete 

the aileron set up as 

shown by installing the 

control horns and push-

rods. Make Z bends on 

the pushrod to make 

minor adjustments.

Prepare your elevator 

push rod with this zig-

zag bend (or Z bends) 

to allow for minor 

adjustments if needed. 

Also make a Z bend at 

the tip to install into the 

elevator servo arm.

Use the “T” jigs for 

scrap parts to support 

the pushrod tube.

2 pieces of the foam 

was enough height to 

create a nice support 

for the pushrod tube.

You may need to trim 

the height to close the 

top cover.
