❑
10) Hold the plastic tailwheel Mounting Bracket in place against
the bottom of the fuselage.
Mark the locations of the four
mounting holes on the fuselage. Drill 3/64" dia. pilot holes at the
marks. Install the Mounting Bracket with the four M2 x 10mm
Phillips-Head Screws provided.
❑
11) Hold the Wheel Collar that is on the Tailwheel Wire up tight
against the bottom of the Mounting Bracket, and then tighten the
Set Screw.
❑
12) Install the 1" dia. Tail Wheel on the axle, holding it in place
with the Wheel Collar provided.
RADIO INSTALLATION, PART I: Elevator
For the following steps you will need these parts:
• The fuselage assembly
• 1 - Nylon Control Horn and Retainer Plate
• 2 - M2 x 15mm Phillips-Head Bolts
• 1 - Wire Elevator Pushrod
• 1 - Metal R/C Link
• 1 - Elevator Servo (not supplied)
• 1 - 12" Servo Extension Chord (not supplied)
❑
1) Plug a 12" long servo extension chord onto the end of the
elevator servo wire. Secure well with tape. Poke the free end of
the extended servo wire through the elevator servo mount in the
rear of the fuselage.
Hold the fuselage vertically, nose down,
as you pass the servo wire all the way forward to the radio
compartment. Once you have the wire completely inside, install
the elevator servo in the fuselage using the using the rubber
grommets and screws that came with the servo.
❑
2) Mount a control horn on the BOTTOM OF THE LEFT
ELEVATOR. Locate the horn at the inboard end of the elevator,
directly in line with the elevator servo. The front edge of the horn's
base should be located right at the front edge of the elevator's
leading edge bevel. Once you have the horn properly located,
❑
7) The fin can now be permanently glued in place on the
fuselage. Epoxy glue is recommended for this step for maximum
strength. Wipe any excess epoxy glue smears off the covering
material with a rag soaked in rubbing alcohol.
❑
8) Look closely at the bottom of the rudder leading edge. Notice
that there is a pre-drilled hole in the leading edge, about 5/8" up
from the bottom corner, where the 90
O
arm of the Tailwheel Wire
will be installed.
c. Glue the Tailwheel Wire in place, being careful not to get any
glue on the plastic Mounting Bracket.
❑
9) Install the rudder to the back of the fin and fuselage with three
CA Hinges. After preliminary assembly and alignment, glue the
hinges permanently in place using the same proceedures you
used for gluing the aileron hinges and elevator hinges in previous
steps. Let dry 10 minutes before flexing the hinges.
11
a. Use a sharp #11 hobby knife
or single-edge razor blade to inlet
the rudder leading edge, from the
hole down to the bottom corner, to
accept the shank of the Tailwheel
Wire.
b. Trial fit the Tailwheel Wire in
place in the rudder leading edge.
Adjust the slot if necessary.
