brace. Test fit the braces in position, starting with the
vertical braces. The vertical braces should have a
downward angle when installed. Once the braces are
fitted, use medium CA to glue the braces into position.
Install the Nose Cone:
❏
3. Locate the left and right sections of the nose cone.
Test the halves and trim if necessary to provide
clearance for the nose gear strut and steering arm. Wick
thin CA into the seam between the two halves while
they are positioned on the fuselage. Do not use CA
accelerator, as it may damage the plastic. Drill four 1/16"
(3mm) holes at the locations shown in the following
photo. Remove the nose cone and enlarge the holes in
the plastic only, using a 1/8" (3mm) drill bit. Replace the
nose cone, and secure it into position using four 2.5mm
x 10mm sheet metal screws. (See the following photo
for screw locations.)
Install the Nose Cone Decals:
❏
4. Using a sharp hobby knife. trim out the decals for
the nose cone. Apply the decals as shown in the photo.
Route the Antenna Wire:
❏
5. Drill a hole in the side of the fuselage near where
the antenna exits the receiver. Route the antenna away
from the servos and out through the hole in the
fuselage. Use a trimmed servo arm and rubber band at
the end of the antenna and secure it to a T-pin secured
at the aft of the fuselage. Use the drawing to assist in
routing the antenna properly. Remember not to cut the
antenna, or tie it into a knot, as this will greatly reduce
the range of your radio system.
❏
1. Turn on the transmitter and then the receiver.
Standing behind the plane, make the following
movements with the transmitter and observe the
movement of the control surfaces:
