BUILD THE FUSELAGE
❏
4. Attach the wheel pants to the landing gear legs using four
2-56 x 3/8" [9.5mm] machine screws, four #2 fl at washers, four
#2 lock washers, and thread locking compound.
❏
5. Attach the landing gear legs to the fuselage using six 4-40
x 1/2" [13mm] socket head cap screws, six #4 fl at washers, six
#4 lock washers, and thread locking compound.
❏
6. Secure the tail wheel to the tail wheel assembly with a
3/32" [2.4mm] wheel collar, 4-40 set screw and thread locking
compound. Be sure that the tail wheel rotates freely on the axle.
Oil the axle if necessary.
INSTALL THE TAIL SERVOS AND PUSHRODS
❏
1. Attach a 24" [610mm] servo extension to the rudder and
elevator servos.
❏
2. The installation of the elevator servo and pushrod is the
same as it was for the ailerons. Make the elevator pushrod
from a 12" [305mm] pushrod wire. Be sure to harden the servo
mounting screw holes with thin CA.
❏
3. Trim the rudder control horn as shown before installing
it onto the rudder.
❏
4. Before making the 90 degree bend in the rudder pushrod,
epoxy the included 4" [102mm] carbon tube onto the
pushrod as shown. Be sure to leave enough room for the
90 degree pushrod connector to connect to the pushrod
wire. The carbon tube will prevent the pushrod from
flexing during flight.
