15. Unthread the ball link and install the sponge on the
tail boom section where the plastic tube for the sponge
insertion. CA the tube in the sponge but be careful not
to apply any glue inside the plastic tube and make sure
the pushrod can move freely.
Thread the ball link back to pushrod at the original
position.
Glue the sponge on tail boom but make sure the sponge
will tight-fit in the fuselage.
If Raptor 50 Titan is used then the position of sponge is
about 1-1/2" (40mm) to the end of boom.
If Raptor 50 V2 is used then the position of sponge is
about 1-1/8"(28mm) to the end of boom.
16. Insert the tail boom into the fuselage again and sit
on the brace, make sure the sponge is tightly fit in the
tail and secure the tail boom firmly. Check the pushrod
movement is freely without binding and adjust it if
necessary. Install the tail rotor assembly in place
firmly and snap on the ball link.
Note: do not glue sponge in the fuselage in case you
had to remove the heli from fuselage.
17. Secure the helicopter onto the landing brace with
four 3x20mm Socket Screws. Star from the rear brace
then the front.
18. Secure the fuselage with 3x10mm washer self-
tapping screw as shown.
19. Secure the Vertical Fin in place with two 3x40 Socket
Screws, two M3 Washers and two M3 Locknuts.
20. Trial fit the Horizontal Tail onto the vertical fin, note
that flat surface should be facing up and the other side
with the air foil facing down. It might be necessary to
file/sand the contact area on the vertical fin so that
they make perfect contact. Apply epoxy at the contact
area and make sure it is perpendicular after securing it
with two 3x18mm Wood Screws and two M3 Washers.
Secure two vertical Tip Fins onto horizontal tail with
four 2x8mm Wood Screws and M2 washer.
21. You will have to install the remote glow plug
adaptor (TTR3803). for easy glow ignition. Also install
a diverter and drill an exit hole at the bottom of the
fuselage or you may extend the diverter to fuselage
exhaust vent to obtain a more scale-like look.
22. Install the wire strike on the front windshield. The
big one is at the bottom and small one is on the top.
Use 2x5mm wood screws to secure the strike in place.
23. Install the front windshield with twenty 2x5mm
screws and M2 nuts. Carefully make drill marks and
drill 5/64" (2mm) holes then secure the front windshield
in place. Apply Loctite for each screw and nut.
24. Trail fit the windows and you may need to trim the
fuselage to get a better fit. Next make drill marks and
drill 1/16"(1.5mm) holes then secure the front side
window with eight 2x5mm wood screws. After you
done the installation of the window then peel away the
protecting film.
You may skip the installation of rear side windows as it
is easier for you in case of tuning engine or adjustment
and it also gets better cooling.
