Battery Hatch Door
o
There is a piece of self adhesive
¼” foam in the kit to go on the
inside of the battery door. When
applied it will hold the door shut
from pressure on the battery pack
inside.
o
I would place the Velcro on the
bottom of the battery compartment
floor and on the side of your
battery pack. This makes it easier
to get the battery in and out
without pulling the Velcro off the
surface. It also leaves more space
for the battery pack. See picture 8.
Rudder Assembly
•
Using 5 minute epoxy glue rudder shaft into milled slot in foam rudder. 5 minute
epoxy is available at most home improvement stores and at Walmart.
o
Rudder shaft is oriented so that the hole for retainer clip is at the bottom
and so that the clip when inserted is parallel to the rudder. If you have the
landing gear option, you can use the tail wheel wire here to make sure that
the holes are parallel to the rudder. Tail wheel wire will install through
this hole to make the tail wheel steerable.
•
When the rudder shaft is dry in the
rudder, slide rudder control horn onto
rudder shaft from bottom
o
Rudder control horn is oriented
so that it extends to the right of
rudder when viewed from behind
•
Using 5 minute epoxy glue rudder
control horn to shaft and bottom of
rudder
o
See illustration for position of
rudder control horn
o
The control horn will be perpendicular to rudder or 90 degrees
