Assembly & Operation Manual
ELEVATORS
NOTE:
Use some protective foam on the work bench to protect the paint surface from
unwanted dents. A removable elevator mechanism is installed. Mark √ each step.
Make up elevator horn. 1pr semetrical. (p32)
Trial fit JR8911 servo to elevator mount. The depth of the servo is
EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT
. We have deigned the mount for 8911 servos. Some shimming
may be needed to get correct height. The elevator horn must be as close as
possible to fuselage skin. When happy secure servo with 4 screws.
Fit servo horn and centre servo using radio. Remove horn. Locate servo cover and
mark location of horn. Drill hole to clear horn, refit horn and cover.
Cut a slot slightly over size in the root of elevator to hold bearing mount for elevator
control. Trial fit the elevator assembly with recess mount.
NOTE: because of the
angle of elevator shaft and rear fuselage, the slot WILL NOT be flush with
root of elevator. Do not glue flush! (p35)
Mix 30 minute epoxy and fill slot in root of elevator with glue. Use some oil over
the servo horn and root of elevator. This will prevent gluing horn to elevator.
While glue still wet, fit elevator with bearing mount over servo horn and keep in po-
sition till glue set.
Unclip elevator and check operation. Careful planning is needed.
Make sure the elevator is clipped before each flight. (p36).
Run servo wires away from tailpipe. Repeat for other elevator.
