Final Assembly Continued
Linkage Installation Continued
47.
Fit the horizontal stabilizer/elevator assembly to the slot in the
rear
of the fuselage. Ensure
that the stabilizer is perpendicular to the sides of the fuselage, and bond with medium CA
glue.
48.
Remove the covering over the slots in the
upper
rear
of the fuselage that will receive the
Vertical Stabilizer / Rudder assembly; Now, fit the Vertical Stabilizer / Rudder assembly to
these slots within the
top
of the fuselage. Ensure that the Vertical Stabilizer is
perpendicular to the fuselage and Horizontal Stabilizer, and bond with medium CA glue.
49.
Pre-shrink the supplied length of heat shrink tube by passing it over two short lengths of
scrap .015 pushrod wire. Shrink tubing with a heat gun then, when cool, remove wires from
tubing and cut tube to length specified in the “Pushrod Detail” on the plan page 2 of 2.
50.
Follow the “Pushrod Detail” on the plan to attach the pushrods to the Elevator and Rudder
horns.
Landing Gear
51.
Bend the landing gear over the diagram on the Landing Gear Detail on the plan using a
single length of 1/32 inch diameter wire supplied in your kit. Proceed carefully, as accurate
bending is critical to a proper fit.
52.
Slide the properly bent landing gear wire into the slot within the fuselage
bottom
. Retain the
landing gear within the fuselage using fuselage ply part F22. Insert F22 fully into the gear
pocket after the landing gear has been installed. Friction between the gear pocket sides
and F22 should be sufficient to retain the landing gear, but you may wish to wick a little CA
along the slot and around the exit points of the landing gear wire as added security.
53.
Fit the provided plastic wheels to the landing gear wire. Bend the wire
up
at a 90 degree
angle to retain the wheel, then cut off the excess wire.
Motor and Gearbox
54.
Remove the pointed mounting studs from the gearbox mounting tabs on the motor gearbox
combo [PKZ3624] and sand the remaining stud protrusions smooth.
