CABANE STRUT INSTALLATION
1)Locate the items for this section of the
manual.
2)Use a hobby knife with blade to remove
the covering on the top of the fuselage so the
cabane struts can be inserted into the
fuselage.We recommend using a trim seal tool
to iron the covering neatly into the openings in
the fuselage .
3) Place the cabane struts on position
,noting their position as shown in the
photo.Loosely install the four M3x6 socket
head machine screws and M3 washers.Leave
, the hardware loose so the struts can be
positioned while installing the upper wing
center rib.Maker sure to use threadlock on the
screws so they won’t vibrate loose.
M3x6mm.
4) Place the upper center wing rib in
position on the cabene struts.Start the M3x12
socket head screws that secure the rib to the
cabane struts.
5)Use a 2.5mm hex wrench to slowly
tighten the hardware securing the cabane
struts in position on the fuselage.You may want
to use hemostarts to hold the M3 nuts when
using them to attach the upper center wing rib
to the struts .Again ,make sure to use
threadlock on all the fastenners to prevent
them from vibrating loose.
M3x12mm.
