Position the gear legs back on the fuselage. Line the
axles up parallel to each other and the same height off
of the work surface. Glue them in place.
Place the wheel on the axle and slide a piece of small
fuel tubing on the end of the axle. Secure the fuel
tubing in place with a drop of CA.
Push Rod Installation:
Position control horns in place and cut a slot for the tab
to sit in. Glue in place. Line them up with the ends of
the servo arms and so the holes in the control horn are
above the hinge line.
Cut a piece of 1.5mm carbon rod for each push rod.
Cut a 1.5” long piece of 1/32” wire and make a z-bend
on one end. Slide a 1” length of heat shrink over each
end of the carbon rod and then slide in a z-bend wire.
Shrink the heat shrink tubing with a heat gun or flame.
The z-bend wire is not glued in position yet and can be
moved for final adjustments.
With the servo centered make any final adjustments to
the z-bend location. Use thin CA to secure the z-bends
to the push rods by placing a drop at each end of the
heat shrink tubing.
Center of Gravity:
3” aft of the leading edge of the wing. Built per plans
the CG should be correct.
Flight set-up:
Use your computer radio to set the final sub-trims,
exponential and dual rates. Double check the control
directions before your first flight.
With proper CG,
the plane should fly nearly the same upright or
upside-down.
We have found that a 500 mah 3s battery are perfect for
giving good flight times and plenty of power as well as
a proper CG.. The final airplane weight should be
between 6.0 and 8.0 oz.
The controls can be set up with throws up to 60
degrees on all surfaces. Low rates would be 30 degrees.
We hope you enjoy your airplane.
