Place the aileron servos in the recesses and drill pilot-holes through the tubular
spacers. Attach the servos using the retaining screws supplied with them.
Mark the position of the horns on the ailerons, exactly in line with the servo case side.
The horns should be positioned with the clevis linkage holes exactly in line with the
hinge pivot axis. Fix the horns to the ailerons using the pan-head screws and plastic
spreader plates supplied in the kit. Snip off excess screw length using side-cutters,
and file the ends back flush with the spreader plates.
Connect the clevises to the aileron horns, and mark the point where the pushrods
cross the servo output arms. Bend the pushrods at right-angles at the marked point,
and remove the excess rod length so that they project beyond the retaining clips by
about 1.5 mm.
Connect the pushrods to the aileron servo output arms and fit the plastic retaining
clips as shown.
Assembling the CARAVELLE
We recommend that you connect a 100 mm extension lead permanently to each of
the appropriate receiver sockets (2 and 5); this makes it easier to connect the aileron
servos to the receiver when you rig the model.
Fit the aluminium wing joiner tube through the fuselage, and slide both wing panels
onto the tube to the point where you can slip the aileron servo extension leads
through the openings in the fuselage sides. Connect the aileron servos to the
extension leads already plugged into the receiver, then slide the wings up against the
fuselage sides. Fit the four plastic screws to hold the wings against the fuselage, but
take care not to over-tighten them; they should be tightened just to the point where
the wings are firmly seated.
Locate the two hardwood tongues at the front of the top fuselage hatch, and engage
them in the slots in the former. The rear end of the hatch is held closed by a magnet.
Balancing the CARAVELLE
Support the assembled model (fueltank empty) under both wing roots at a point
about 102 mm aft of the wing root leading edge. The CG position is correct when the
model hangs level, with the nose inclined slightly down. If necessary, re-position the
receiver battery or glue lead ballast to the nose or tail to obtain the correct balance.
All the control surfaces must be exactly at centre when the transmitter sticks and
trims are in the neutral position; check this before flying the model for the first time.
