Hangar 9 Alpha 40 ARF Assembly Manual

 

Step 13

Use hook and loop tape to secure the remote receiver above 

the throttle servo as shown. Mount the receiver as high in the 

fuselage and as far away from the main receiver as possible to 

provide the best reception from your radio system.

Wing dowel Installation

Required Parts

Fuselage assembly 

Wing dowel (2)

Required Tools and Adhesives

Thin CA

 

Step 1

Locate the wing dowels for your aircraft.

 

Step 2

Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to remove the covering 

from the fuselage for the wing dowels.

 

Step 3

Slide the wing dowel into the pre-drilled holes in the front 

of the fuselage. Center the dowel so it extends equally from 

both sides of the fuselage.

 

Step 4

Slide the second wing dowel into the pre-drilled holes in the 

rear of the fuselage. Center the dowel so it extends equally 

from both sides of the fuselage.

 

Step 5

Apply thin CA into the joint between the dowel and fuselage 

to keep it from moving.
