Press the rubber grommets and tubular spacers into the servo mounting lugs, and
screw the servo to the servo plate after drilling 1.5 mm Ø pilot-holes for it. You may
need to shorten the control “snakes” (outer pushrod sleeves).
Form a Z-bend in one end of the pushrods, Order No. 5732 slip them into the snake
outers from the tail end and thread the plain ends through the pushrod connector. Fit
the elevator horns on the pre-formed end, hold the horns on the elevators with the
pushrods running in a straight line, and check that the linkage holes are at 90° to the
hinge pivot axis. Mark the hole positions, drill 1.7 mm Ø holes at the marked points,
and fix the horns to the elevators using the spreader plates supplied.
Caution:
note that the right and left elevators and spreader plates are different
(handed pair).
Snip off excess screw length using side-cutters or a rotary cutting disc, and file the
ends back flush with the spreader plates.
Set the servo to centre from the transmitter, hold both elevators at centre (neutral),
and tighten the M3 grubscrew in the pushrod connector to secure the pushrods. Cut
off the excess pushrod material.
Glue the trailing edge in-fill piece inside the top of the fuselage using UHU plus,
taking care to position the thick end
facing the tail
. The thin edge should be flush
with the end of the wing saddle opening. Clamp the in-fill piece in place while the
glue is hardening.
A 3 mm Ø hole has to be drilled at the appropriate point in the fuselage to accept the
wing locating dowel. With the dowel glued in the wing, lay the wing on the fuselage
saddle with the dowel resting against the fuselage side; this enables you to see the
correct height of the dowel hole. Mark the hole position and drill it, initially slightly
lower than marked. Offer up the wing, and use a round needle file to adjust the hole
in stages until the wing is a snug fit.
Important:
the leading and trailing edges of the wing must rest squarely on the wing
saddle.
Place the wing on the fuselage, fitting the dowel into the hole at the leading edge. In
this position drill a 4 mm Ø hole in the fuselage, working through the screw-hole.
Important:
it is essential to set the wing exactly at right-angles to the fuselage
centreline, and to drill the screw-hole exactly central. You can check the position of
the wing by measuring the distance between both wingtips and the tail end of the
fuselage: the dimension should be the same on both sides.
Fit the M4 screw through the hole in the in-fill piece, and screw the M4 captive nut on
the underside. Draw the nut up into the in-fill piece, and glue it in place using UHU
plus.
Caution:
don’t let any glue get onto the threaded part of the screw.
