6. Slide the wing into position on the fuselage. Slide
the wing tight against the fuselage. Use an M3 x 12 socket
head machine screw and M3 washer to secure the wing in
position. Use a 2.5mm hex wrench to tighten the screw.
Connect the aileron servo extension to the receiver at this
time.
7. Attach the remaining bottom wing panel to the fuselage
using an M3 x 12 socket head machine screw and M3
washer. Tighten the screw using a 2.5mm hex wrench.
When installing the top wing, the pins
will be in position in the interplane struts.
Use care not to damage the covering on the
bottom of the top wing during installation.
8. Place the four remaining 2.6mm x 16mm aluminum
pins into the struts. Slide the 370mm aluminum tube
into the top wing panel. Slide the tube through the upper
center wing rib. Guide the interplane strut into position,
then secure it using an M3 x 45mm machine screw and #1
Phillips screwdriver.
9. Install the remaining top wing panel. Use an M3 x 45
machine screw and #1 Phillips screwdriver to secure the
interplane strut. The right and left upper wing panels are
connected using an M3 x 12 socket head machine screw and
M3 washer. Tighten the screw using a 2.5mm hex wrench.
10. Thread a clevis on each end of a 3mm x 270mm
threaded rod. Connect the rod between the top and bottom
ailerons. With the radio system on and the bottom aileron
centered, adjust the length to center the top aileron. Once
centered, slide the silicone tubing over the forks of the clevis
to prevent it from opening accidentally. Apply threadlock on
the nuts and clevises to prevent them from vibrating loose.
Use needle nose pliers to tighten the nut against the clevis to
prevent it from vibrating and changing positions.
11. Repeat step 10 to install the remaining aileron
linkage. Place the canopy back on the fuselage to complete
the assembly of your model.
