Final Assembly Continued
Electronics
45. Feed the motor lead through the slot created by the space between parts
F2a and F2b, the fuselage F1 and part F3. Feed the lead all the way
through until it exits behind the fuselage doublers F2 and F3, near the
aileron servo pocket.
46. Dry fit the motor within the motor pocket. Ensure the motor is oriented so
that the propellor shaft is positioned on the
LEFT
side of the fuselage.
Mount the motor by applying a small drop of medium CA between the
mounting tabs and the ply parts F5. Lightly mounting the motor in this way
will allow the motor to separate from the fuselage in the case of a less than
perfect landing, possibly avoiding damage to the motor, gearbox, and
propellor.
47. Position the tail skid S over the etched are at the
BOTTOM
rear of the
fuselage. Bond with medium CA.
48. Slide the wing through the opening within fuselage. Carefully align the wing,
centering it within the fuselage. Ensure that the pushrod exit slots in the
rear portion of F13 and F15 are not blocked by the fuselage. Square the
wing with the fuselage, as viewed from the front and above. When you are
satisfied that the wing is correctly positioned, bond it to the fuselage by
applying a thin bead of medium CA along the joint between the wing and
both sides of the fuselage.
Control Surfaces
49. Refer to the Tape Hinge Diagram on the detail sheet, and attach the ailerons
to the wings. Ensure that there is a gap of about 1/64 in. between the wing
and ailerons.
50. Refer to the Tape Hinge Diagram on the detail sheet, and attach the rudder
and elevator to their respective stabilizers.
Tip: Tape the parts to the table
with low tack masking tape, ensuring that there is a 1/64 in. gap between
them, then apply the clear tape to the hinge line.
51. Mount the horizontal stabilizer in the slot in the rear of the fuselage. Square
the stabilizer, and bond with medium CA.
52. Mount the vertical stabilizer on
TOP
of the fuselage, aligning the trailing
edge of the rudder with the end of the fuselage. Bond with medium CA.
