Assembling the model
The airframe requires just a few glued joints and assembly steps to complete, but the
following instructions must still be observed carefully to ensure that the model flies
safely.
The first step is to open the canopy: grasp it firmly at the rear end, and pull it upwards
and off. Now use a servo tester or your radio control system to centre the rudder and
elevator servos.
The photo shows the fuselage with the tailplane and fin inserted. Push the panels
into their slots as far as they will go, set them exactly “square”, and slip the pushrods
through the swivel connectors. When you are satisfied, apply low-viscosity cyano-
acrylate (“thin cyano”) along the joints. Caution: do not use activator for these
joints, as this will prevent the adhesive running fully into the joints.
Allow the glue to set hard, then tighten the grubscrews in the swivel connectors using
the 1.5 mm A/F allen key. Ensure that both elevator panels are exactly parallel and at
neutral (centre).
Caution: after tightening the grubscrews check that the pushrods are securely
fixed. If either of them should work loose, the model is likely to crash.
