ASSEMBLY
IV. ASSEMBLY
A. Secure the main landing gear
The main landing gear is secured by a “twist ‘n lock” system.
Simply put the landing gear into position on the belly of the airplane
then rotate the thumb tab 1/4 turn clockwise until it snaps into the
groove.
B. Attach the tail
The vertical fin and horizontal stabilizer attach to the fuselage
with the two thumb screws furnished. Insert the plastic posts that
protrude out the bottom of the fin through the sleeves in the stabiliz-
er as shown, then slip them into the sleeves in the rear of the fuselage.
Secure the tail assembly to the fuselage with the two special thumb
screws, making sure they are firmly tightened and the tail assembly is
securely attached to the fuselage.
Snap the pushrod clevises into the holes in the control horn as
shown.
C. Join the wing
Insert the dihedral brace into one wing half. Slip the other wing
half into place, lining up both the plastic joiner blocks and the rear
alignment dowel as the wing comes together.
Secure the connection with the special tapered thumb bolt,
screwing it in until it is snug to the bottom of the wing. Do not over-
tighten!
Snap the servo linkage clevises into the holes in the nylon horns
that are pre-installed on the aileron torque rods.
D. Charge the batteries
Refer to the Radio’s Instruction Manual.
Note that there is an unoccupied two-wire connector coming
from the receiver switch. It is your charging jack. The switch must be
OFF in order to charge the batteries. Plug the Receiver output from
your radio system charger into this connector. Plug the Transmitter
output into the charge jack on your transmitter. Now plug the
charger into a wall outlet. The two LED indicator lights should be lit,
indicating that current is flowing into the batteries. If not, double
check that connections are secure and both switches are off.
The first time you charge your batteries, leave them on charge for
24 hours. For all subsequent charges, charge the batteries overnight
(14-16 hours).
