16. After the glue holding the servos to the wing has
dried, turn on the radio to center the servos. Holding the
ailerons centered, connect the pushrods to the screw-lock
connectors with an M2x3 Phillips machine-thread screw
and a drop of threadlocker. Operate the aileron with your
radio to make sure everything moves smoothly. Make any
adjustments necessary. Trim the excess pushrod material.
Install the Servo Covers
❏
1. Use curved-tip scissors
or any other kind of small
hobby scissors to trim the
hatches down to the fl at
base lip that will be taped to
the wing.
❏
2. Position the hatch
over the servo. Operate the
ailerons with your radio to
make sure the servo arm
and/or pushrod do not
interfere with the cover. Make
any adjustments necessary.
❏
3. Mount the hatch to the wing with clear tape.
Join the Wing Halves
❏
1. Test-fi t the wing halves together with the wing joiner
and the nylon alignment dowel. Make any adjustments
necessary for a good fi t.
❏
2. Make certain you have everything on-hand to glue the
wings together including 30-minute epoxy, a mixing cup, a
mixing stick, an epoxy brush, masking tape and those paper
towel squares and denatured alcohol mentioned earlier in
the manual.
NOTE:
Even though 30-minute epoxy provides enough
working time to glue the wing halves together, make sure
you have everything ready and work effi ciently so you don’t
run out of working time before the epoxy begins to harden.
❏
3. Mix approximately 1/4 oz. of 30-minute epoxy.
Working quickly, pour some epoxy into the spar cavities in
both wings.
❏
4. Coat one end of the joiner and insert it into one of the
wing halves, pushing it in and out several times to thoroughly
coat the entire spar cavity. Remove the joiner and perform
the same procedure for the other wing, but this time leave
the joiner in place.
❏
5. Coat the protruding end of the joiner and both ends of
both wing halves with epoxy. Then, join the wings together
and wipe away excess epoxy.
❏
6. Use strips of masking tape on the top and bottom
of the wing to tightly pull the wing halves together while
using the paper towel squares dampened with denatured
alcohol to wipe away excess epoxy as you proceed. Allow
the epoxy to fully harden before removing the tape.
