14. Glue (Epoxy) the tailplane steel joiner [B2-14] into the
fuselage’s fin. Check that it is perpendicular both to the fin
and to the length of the fuselage.
15. With a sharpen balsa cutter cut out the covering film over the
hole of the left horizontal tailplane [4]. Insert into the hole of the
tailplane [4] the fastening connector [B2-15] and insert also the
connecting rod [B2-2] into their holes. Fasten the connecting
rod [B2-2] to the connector [B2-15] with the screw [B2-11].
16. Glue (CA, Epoxy) the connector [B2-15] to the tailplane.
Take care to avoid that some glue is also gluing the
connecting rod. Glue has to be put only on the connector’s
sides and very sparingly.
17. When the glue has cured it is possible to release the
connecting rod loosening the screw [B2-11].
18. Insert the auxiliary tailplane connecting rod [B2-2] into
the hole of the right tailplane [4] and glue (Epoxy) it in place
leaving outside about 50 mm. Fit the elevator control horn
[B2-7] into the holes in the elevator by punching the film over
the holes and inserting the control horn [B2-7] into the holes.
Fasten the control horn with two nuts [B2-8].
19. Insert the rudder outer tubing [B1-3] and the elevator outer
tubing [B1-4] into the exit holes of the fuselage and carefully
glue (Epoxy) it in place leaving a couple of cm extending from
the fuselage.
20. Fit the rudder control horn [B2-7] into the holes in the
rudder [3] by punching the film over the holes and inserting
the control horn [B2-7] into the holes. Fasten the control horn
with two nuts [B2-8].
21. Fasten the servos on their support with their screws (not
supplied)
22. Note that the pushrods cross inside the fuselage to give
a straight pushrod run. Switch on the radio and position both
the servos at their centre positions. Insert the rudder and
elevator pushrods [B1-1], [B1-2] in the plastic tubes [B1-3],
[B1-4]. Insert the Z bent ends of the pushrods into the servo
arms. Fit the servo arms to the servos ensuring they are
centred correctly.
23. Glue (Epoxy) the plastic tubes holders [B2-4] to the
fuselage sides and next glue (Epoxy) the plastic tubes [B1-3]
and [B1-4] to the groove in the holders and to the slots in the
former [DC-5].
24. Attach the kwick link [B2-10] to the middle hole in the
rudder control horn [B2-7]. Insert the end of the pushrod into
the threaded adapter [B2-9] and check the length of the
pushrod [B1-1] keeping both the rudder and the servo
centered. If necessary, shorten the pushrod [B1-1].
25. When the pushrod [B1-1] is the correct length, glue (Epoxy)
or solder the pushrod [B1-1] into the threaded adapter [B2-
9]. To improve the join, use pliers to kink the end of the
pushrod to fit tightly in the adapter.
26. Complete the elevator with the fuselage and repeat the
point 24 – 25 to install the linkage.
27. The inner and outer wing panels [2] are covered together.
With a knife carefully cut away the covering film over the gap
between the two wing panels, on the upper side of the wing
only. Remove the excess film and the triangular packing strip
that you’ll find inside the slot. Do not cut the film on the bottom
of the wing.
28. Carefully apply some glue (Epoxy) in the slot between the
two wing panels. Put the wing flat over a desk and raise the
tip of the outer panel about 110 mm. Check to ensure the two
panels fit together without any large gaps at the joint.
29. With a sharp blade cut off the film over the holes for the
fastening screws, on the top of the wings [2].
30. Take the brass wing fastening insert [B2-12] and screw
temporary inside it the screw [B2-17]. Put some amount of
epoxy in the outer surface of the insert [B2-12] and inside the
wing’s hole. Using a screwdriver gently screw the assembly
into the wing. Allow the resin to cure and then remove the
screw [B2-17] by unscrewing it.
31. Using the sanding block round the edges on the both
sides of the steel wing joiner [B1-5]. See the drawing.
32. Using the sanding block round one of each wing dowels
[B2-3]. Attach the the wing dowels to the wing, next attach the
wing to the fuselage using the wing joiner [B1-5] and check
the correct position of the wood wing dowels [B2-3]. Now
carrefully glue (Epoxy) the wing dowels [B2-3] in the holes on
the both wings [2]. Check the correct position of the wings.
33. Attach the wings to the fuselage and check the alignment.
Fasten the steel wing joiner with screws [B2-11] using the
special allen wrench [B2-16].
34. With scissors, trim the canopy [5] along the outer line,
keeping a safety margin of about 1 or 2 mm. Sand the edges
of the canopy to fit the canopy to the fuselage.
35. Secure the canopy [5] with masking tape to the fuselage.
Drill two 1.5 mm holes at about 4 mm from the canopy rim
forward and rearward. With the sharp kniwe cut out two slots
into the canopy [5] in order to extract the canopy by just pushing
on it. This will allow the canopy to be removed without
unscrewing the fastening screws[ B2-8]
36. Refer to the drawing for a recommended arrangement of
equipment. You may lead the receiver aerial out either from
the top of fuselage behind the canopy to the fin.
37. When connecting electronic equipment, follow the
instructions supplied.
38. Use the details shown check the throw and direction of
the control surfaces. If necessary, change the position of
control rods on the servo control horns or control surface
horns.
39. If you have not applied all decals during the assembly,
now is the right moment to do so.
40. Check the centre of gravity (CG) position with batteries in
place. It should lie 70 - 75 mm back from the wing leading
