4) Assemble and install the aileron pushrods.
a)
Turn an M3 nut and Ball Link onto each end of the 70 mm aileron
pushrod, and adjust the center-to-center length of the pushrod to
approximately 3-1/2”. You will most likely need to fine-tune this
adjustment in the next steps, but this measurement will get the
pushrod close to the correct length.
b) Enlarge the hole in the servo arm to 3mm at a distance of 1-1/4”
from the center of the servo arm. Then, snap the aluminum balls
into the nylon links. With the servo arm centered and the aileron
set at neutral, adjust and attach the pushrod’s ball link ends to the
control horn and servo arm using M3 x 16mm machine screws and
M3 locking nuts.
c) When the pushrod has been adjusted to the proper length,
tighten the two M3 nuts against the ball links.
d) Repeat steps 1 through 4c for the other wing half.
FUSELAGE ASSEMBLY
TAIL INSTALLATION
For the following steps you will need:
(1) Fuselage
(1) Aluminum Wing Tube
(2) Wings
(4) Nylon Wing Bolts
(1) Horizontal Stabilizer & Elevator set
(1) Vertical Fin & Rudder Set
❑
5) Install the Horizontal Stabilizer and Elevator
a)
Remove the elevator and hinges from the horizontal stabilizer,
and set them aside for now. Draw a center line on the
stabilizer mount and on the horizontal stabilizer. Test fit the
stabilizer on the fuselage. Notice that the covering has been
removed from both the fuselage and horizontal stabilizer
where they will epoxied together.
b) Slide the aluminum wing tube through the tube holder in the
fuselage and install the wing halves to the fuselage with the
nylon wing bolts provided, and set the horizontal
stabilizer in place. Carefully check the alignment of the
stabilizer to the wing.
c) First view the model from directly in front. Check to see if the
stabilizer is level with the wing. You should find it to be very
close. If necessary, use a sanding block to fine tune the
stabilizer platform to level the stabilizer to the wing.
