making sure the horn remains at 90° aileron leading edge. Once satisfied that the horn is secured run some
Cyano onto the thread to ensure the nut cannot be loosened.
Cut the threaded rod to the correct length before soldering on the threaded extender as shown below. When
correctly fitted the clevises should be threaded onto the rod so that it can be threaded in or out an equal
amount. Lock the clevises in place using the supplied M3 nuts, ensure this cannot become loose, use a
thread lock if needed.
Repeat this for the second aileron.
The wing support plate (Part 17) should be covered but not glued to the wing. The bolts are inserted through
the plate into the wing and into the captive nuts the support plate remains independent to spread the load
into the wing.
Fuselage
Take the fully covered parts for the Fuselage and insert the 8mm (5/16”) dowels provided. Glue in place with
white wood glue or Cyano. Fit the wing to the Fuselage and hold in place with an elastic band so that it is
firmly seated, but able to move for adjustment. With a tape measure check that the Fuselage is square to
the wing as per the diagram. Ensure A1 = A2.
Insert the Tail Plane into its slot and check the measurement B1 = B2. Once satisfied that the Tail Plane is
square, mark with a pencil both top and bottom along the edge of the Fuselage. Remove the Tail Plane from
its slot and carefully cut 1.5mm (1/16”) on the inside of the line to remove the covering film from both the top
and bottom.
Take the Fin and insert into the slot. With a pencil mark along the Fuselage as with the Tail Plane, remove
the Fin and remove the covering from 1.5mm (1/16”) below the line.
!!!
Warning
. Only cut through the film while undertaking the tasks above,
do not
cut into the balsa as this will
weaken the Fin and may cause it to fail in flight!!!
Re-insert the Fin and make sure that the cut-out in the base of the Fin lines up with the Tail Plane slot.
Insert the Tail Plane to confirm. One satisfied with the fit, glue the Fin into position using epoxy on the base
where it joins to the Tail skid and Cyano or white wood glue at the junction with the top deck. Ensure that
the Fin is vertical, with the wing seated; also check that the Fin is at 90° by viewing it from the front.
