1. For the best adhesion on the painted surfaces,we

recommend roughing up the painted surfaces to be glued
with fine grit sandpaper such as 320-grit. Wiping the areas
to be glued with a paper towel dampened with denatured
alcohol will reduce the gloss of the paint and also improve
adhesion. If using alcohol, we recommend only making one
pass with the towel. Excessive wiping will completely
remove the paint from the foam.

2. Apply a bead of thick CA glue to the tops of the wing

supports on the right side of the fuse. We recommend using
CA accelerator to speed the assembly time.

❏ ❏

3. Insert the right wing panel into the slot. The notch

at the inside LE of the wing panel will contact the fuse when
fully seated. The TE of the wing panel must be aligned with
the center of the fuse.

❏ ❏

4. Apply a bead of CA around the joint between the

wing and the fuse on both the top and bottom of the wing.

5. Repeat this procedure for the left wing panel.

1. Enlarge the outer holes of two control horns with a 3/64"

[1.2mm] drill bit. Apply a couple drops of CA glue to the
underside of the control horn backplates. Push the control
horn tabs through the slots in the ailerons as shown.

2. Press the control horn backplates onto the tabs to secure

the control horns to the ailerons. Glue the backplates to the
control horn tabs with a drop of CA.

3. Locate the four 2-7/8" [73mm] pushrods and hook the 

Z-bends into the outer holes of the servo horn and the outer
holes in the control horns. Slide a piece of 1" [25mm] heat-
shrink tubing onto one of the pushrods for each wing panel.

Assemble the Aileron Pushrods

Install the Wing Panels
