eSKA - FINISHING
1
M O D E L S
Cover your eSKA model with your favorite lightweight covering. We
recommend using either Hanger 9 Ultracote Lite or Nelson LiteFilm covering.
The Nelson LiteFilm comes in 12 colors and is only 0.6 oz. per sq. yard. After
the wing is covered, build in a couple of degrees "Wash-out" at each wing tip.
With the wing laying flat at Rib 1 there should be about 1/4" gap between
the TE at Rib 11 and the surface. Check that both wing tips have the same
amount of twist or wash-out.
Use 3/4" wide strips of clear packing tape to join the Ailerons to
the Wing. Re-install the Aileron Servos and connect the Pushrods. Adjust the
Pushrods so that the bottom of the Ailerons are level with the bottom of the
Wing.

Use 3/4" wide strips of clear packing tape to join the Rudder to the
Fin. Pull the Rudder Pushrod back through the Pushrod slot and connect it to
the Rudder Control Horn. Adjust and tighten the Servo set screw.
3
Use 3/4" wide strips of clear packing tape to join the Elevator to the
Stabilizer. Pull the Elevator Pushrod back and connect to the Elevator Control
Horn. Adjust Elevator and tighten the Servo set screw.
4
Fasten the Receiver to the bottom of the Fuselage with double
sided foam tape. Mount Motor and Speed Control, Use Adhesive Back Velcro to
mount LiPoly Battery Pack to the Fuselage Floor.
5
Re-assemble your eSKA model including optional Landing Gear
6
Use a small rubber band looped through the Battery Hatch Former
BHF2 and attached to the two Hatch Hooks. The hatch keeps the Wing from
sliding forward during flight. You lift the hatch and turn it sideways to access
the Battery Compartment.
7
Balance your eSKA. You can re-locate the Battery, Receiver, etc. to
balance. The Balance point is at the rear edge of the Wing's bottom Spar. Once
you have eSKA balanced, mark the location of the Motor Battery Pack. You
should also check the balance side-to-side and correct if necessary.
8
Make sure that Prop is balanced and secured to the Motor.
KEEP CLEAR OF THE PROP!
Secure the airplane before you connect the
Motor Battery to the Speed Control. Follow your Motor and Speed Control
directions on proper arming and disarming procedures. Make sure you have
brake disabled and the correct voltage cut-off set for your speed control.
9
Test run the Motor. Make sure the Prop is turning in the correct
direction.
Note:
This completes the construction phase of your eSKA. It's time to charge
up the batteries and head to the flying field.
