the nylon landing gear straps with two sheet metal screws.
Follow this procedure for the remaining landing gear wire.
❍
4. File a flat spot on the end of the landing gear wire.
❍
5. Locate two 4mm wheel collars, two 3 x 5mm set screws
and one foam
wheel
. Install one wheel collar and set screw
onto the landing gear wire followed by the wheel and another
wheel collar and set screw. Tighten the wheel collar set
screws onto the landing gear wire, making sure the set screw
on the outer wheel collar is tightened against the flat spot you
filed on the wire. Be sure to use a small amount of
threadlocker on the set screws. Do the same for the other
landing gear. Apply a drop of oil on the wheels.
INSTALL THE AILERON SERVO
❍
1. Install your servo into the servo compartment following
the instructions included with your particular brand of servo.
Install the servo arm in the orientation shown. Drill 1/16"
[1.6mm] pilot holes for the servo screws. Remove the servo.
Then, install and remove a servo screw into each of the holes.
Put a couple of drops of thin CA into each of the holes and
allow the glue to cure. Permanently install the servo using the
screws provided with the servos.
❍
2. Locate two nylon
aileron torque rod links
. Thread them
onto the aileron torque rods approximately 20 full turns.
❍
3. Locate the two 6" [152mm]
aileron pushrod wires
.
Install a nylon
clevis
onto the threaded end of the wire
approximately 20 turns. Then, slide a silicone clevis keeper
onto the wire. Install the clevis onto the nylon torque rod link
and lock it in place by sliding the silicone clevis keeper over
the clevis.
❍
4. Be sure the aileron servo is centered. Enlarge the first
hole in the servo arm with a Hobbico Servo Horn Drill
(HCAR0698) (or a #48 or 5/64" [2mm] drill bit). Center the
aileron and align the wire pushrod with the hole in the end of
the servo arm. Using a marker, mark the location where the
wire aligns with the hole in the servo arm. On that mark make
a 90° bend. From the bend measure an additional 3/16"
[4.8mm] and then cut off the excess pushrod wire.
❍
5. Install the wire into the hole in the servo arm using a
nylon pushrod keeper as shown in the sketch.
