To install the plug-in wing of the Easy 3D you will need the
following parts.
- Right & left wing panels.
- 2 aluminum tube wing joiners 370 mm (14 1/2”) long
and 12mm (1/2”) diameter
- 2 metal washers 4mm
- 2 steel butterfly nuts 4mm (or nuts)
Step 1.1
Turn over the fuselage and remove the hatch cover.
See 1.B.
Step 1.2
Insert the front wing joiner tube and the rear wing
joiner tube. See 1C.
Step 1.3
Carefully slide each wing on to the wing joiner tubes
while threading the servo wiring harness through the
side of the fuselage.
Step 1.4
Install the washer on the metal wing bolts and then
the wing nuts. Tighten the wing nuts.

FITTING THE AILERON SERVOS
Step 2
To install the aileron servos into the wing you will need the following items:
- Servos
- Servo mounting screws and grommets as supplied with the servos.
- Servo control arms as supplied with the servos.
- Two aileron control rod assemblies supplied with the kit. The assemblies
consist of a metal rod with a clevis screwed onto one end.
- 2 aileron control horn assemblies
Connect aileron extension wires to each aileron servo. Install the aileron
servos into their mounting cavities per figure 2D while threading the
extension wires through to the wing roots.

Install the rudder servo in its cavity
(See 18A and 18B). Connect the
rudder servo to the receiver and turn
on your transmitter. Center the trans-
mitter rudder trim and center the rud-
der (hold with low tack tape) before
connecting the control rod.
INSTALL THE RUDDER SERVO AND PUSHROD

CONNECTING THE THROTTLE CONTROL
Step 19
Connect the clevis to the engine throttle arm at roughly half throttle. Look
into the throat of the engine carburetor as you rotate the throttle arm and
select a position where the throttle opening is about half what it is when
fully open.
19A. Typical throttle control connection
Adjust the deflection of the control surfaces to match the
specifications on page 14.
You can reduce the amount of throw by doing either or both
of the following:
From the servo end, move the clevis or EZ connector to a
hole in the servo arm that is closer to the servo output shaft.
From the control horn end, move the horn out further on the
threaded bolts. Always confirm that the horn is still
thoroughly engaged with the threaded bolt after you have
adjusted it.
ADJUST CONTROL SURFACE THROW LIMITS.
Step 20
Before starting the final set-up of the model, switch on the
radio and ensure that all trims are in their neutral positions.
Check that the ailerons, elevator and rudder are centered.
If any adjustments are needed, do these by uncoupling the
relevant control and turning it clockwise to shorten the
linkage or counter-clockwise to lengthen it. Only when each
control surface has been centered mechanically in this way
should you begin adjusting the surface movement
(or throw)
FINAL R/C SET-UP
Step 21
Now confirm that the control surfaces are moving in the
correct direction. Check the up-down of the elevator, the
left-right of the rudder and the roll left-roll right of the
ailerons. Use the reverse switches on your transmitter to
reverse the direction of a servo if necessary. The most pop-
ular transmitter mode (with the throttle on the left, with
ailerons and elevator on the right) is shown here.
