Extreme Flight 110" YAK-54 V2, Инструкция по сборке

Страница: 5 / 45

1. Before starting assembly, take a few minutes to read the entire instruction
manual to familiarize yourself with the assembly process.
2. Go over all the seams on the aircraft with a covering iron on a medium heat
setting. Also, due to climate changes, wrinkles may develop in the covering. These
are easily removed with a little bit of heat. Use a 100% cotton tee-shirt and your
heat gun and
heat the covering while gently rubbing the covering onto the wood with the t-shirt.
Be careful not to use too much heat as the covering may shrink too much and begin
to lift at the edges. Take your time, and a beautiful, paint-like finish is attainable.
3. Apply CA to high stress areas such as servo mounting trays, landing gear
mounts, anti-rotation pins, wing and stab root ribs, and motor box joints etc.
4. By the time your aircraft arrives at your door step, it will have been handled by a
lot of people. Occasionally, there are small dings or imperfections on some of the
surfaces. An effective method to restore these imperfections to original condition is
to use a very fine tipped hypodermic needle and inject a drop of water under the
covering material and into the ding in the wood. Apply heat to the area with a
sealing iron and the imperfection will disappear. Deeper marks may require that
this process be repeated a couple of times to achieve the desired result, but you will
be surprised at how well this technique works.
5. Use high quality, fresh epoxy for installing the composite control horns and
hinges. We highly recommend Mercury Adhesives 30 minute Epoxy as well as
Pacer Hinge Glue. We are very pleased with the results and ease of application and
cleanup of these products.
6. Take the time to properly balance and trim your aircraft and set up rates with
exponential values. Your flying experience will be greatly enhanced once your
plane is properly dialed in.
7. Extreme Flight now has their own Vimeo channel and we highly recommend
viewing the assembly videos on this resource. There are many assembly videos
providing extreme detail on certain aspects of the assembly of this very model and
performed by Jeff Williams. However, if you are assembling a different Extreme
Flight model many of these videos are still applicable as some aspects are the same
regardless of the aircraft type. https://vimeo.com/user40004054
