Cut three pieces of silicone fuel tubing and push them onto the tubes where they exit the
fueltank.
Mark the fuel lines using a felt-tip pen or coloured tape to indicate which is the fuel feed,
the overflow and the filler.
Fit the tank in the fuselage through the bottom wing saddle, and thread the fuel tubes
through the hole in the nose bulkhead. Note that the overflow pipe must be at the top of
the tank. Secure the fueltank with the rubber band supplied.
Connect the fuel line from the clunk pick-up to the carburettor nipple. Route the overflow
tube down and out of the cowl. The fuel line for filling the tank can be routed out of a
hole in the side of the cowl.
Cut and file away the cowl to clear the silencer, the cylinder head, the needle valve etc.
The cowl is attached to the fuselage using two screws on each side. Inject a little UHU
coll (white glue) into the holes before you fit the four cowl retaining screws; this prevents
them working loose.
The bottom wing
Extend the aileron servo leads using 180 mm extension leads, and secure each
connection with a piece of heat-shrink sleeve or similar. The servos are screwed to the
servo mounts as shown in the photo.
The servo leads can now be drawn through the wing panels and out of the holes close to
the root ribs using the thread inside the wings. Fix the aileron servos to the mounts in
the wing panels after drilling pilot-holes for the retaining screws.
Mark the position of the horns on the ailerons using a setsquare for correct alignment.
Attach the ailerons to the horns as shown in the next set of photos. Ensure that the pivot
point of the ailerons lines up correctly with the linkage holes in the horns.
Cut off excess screw length using side-cutters, and file the cut ends flush with the
spreader plates.
Screw an M2 nut and a clevis on each aileron pushrod. Connect the clevis to the aileron
horn. Set the servo to centre, hold the aileron at neutral, and mark the point where the
pushrod crosses the servo output arm.
Bend the pushrod at right-angles at the marked point, and cut it to length as described
for the elevator servos. Secure the pushrod in the servo output arm using a plastic
retaining clip. Repeat the procedure with the other aileron.
Cut out the cabane strut fairings, working along the marked lines, and slip them over the
cabane struts.
Insert the cabane struts in the appropriate slots in the fuselage and fit the retaining
screws. Secure the screws with UHU thread-lock fluid to prevent them working loose.
Join the top wing panels using the aluminium joiner tube supplied, then screw the top
wing to the cabane struts.
Attach the diagonal struts to the front and rear cabane struts using screws and nuts.
Glue the cabane strut fairings in place using UHU Alleskleber Kraft (clear cement).
