Diagram #11 – WING INSTALLATION
*Locate the pre-covered plywood wing bolt plate in the parts package. Puncture the covering over the two
pre-drilled bolt holes. Insert two 3 x 25 mm Philips screws (with 3 mm flat washers) through the bolt plate.
*Puncture the covering (top and bottom) over the pre-drilled mounting bolt holes near the trailing edge of the
wing.
*Test fit the wing onto the fuselage. The leading edge tab should fit snugly but smoothly into its notch at the
top of the forward cabin bulkhead. Sand the tab or notch if necessary for a smooth fit. Check to be sure the
wing is properly seated, then insert two 3 x 25 mm Philips screws (with 3 mm flat washers) through the bolt
plate holes and the two holes in the wing, and thread them into the pre-installed T-nuts in the fuselage. If the
bolts do not line up properly, slightly enlarge the bolt holes in the wing (but NOT the bolt plate). Tighten the
bolts and check for proper alignment.
*Slip a very short piece of fuel tubing, an O-ring, or a leftover servo grommet over the bottom of each bolt and
up against the underside of the wing. This will prevent inadvertent loss of the bolts when removing the wing.
DIAGRAM #12 – WING STRUTS
*Refer to the color label on your model box, and use that strut attachment position if it differs from the
pictorial manual in diagram 12. Using the tabs on the inner end of each wing strut to determine the exact
location, drill two 1.5 mm holes in the fuselage sides, behind the landing gear. Fasten the inner ends of the
wing struts to the fuselage with two 2.3 x 8 mm washer-head screws.
*Drill 1.5 mm holes in the underside of each wing for the outer wing strut tabs, after checking to be sure that
sufficient wood exists underneath (tap with fingernail, etc). Fasten the outer ends of the struts in place with 2,3
x 8 mm washer-head screws.
*Remove all screws and the struts, and saturate each of the screw holes with fast CA to strengthen the wood
around the holes. Reinstall the struts after the CA has set thoroughly.
*Locate the clear plastic landing gear strut retainers and sand the inner surfaces lightly. Test fit the landing
gear strut and retainer over the landing gear wire. There should be a 4-5 mm gap between the top of the strut
and the bottom of the fuselage to allow for landing gear flexing during takeoffs and landings.
*Once the struts and retainers fit properly, fasten them in place using medium CA to hold the plastic retainer to
both the landing gear wire and to the strut itself.
DIAGRAM #13 – CONTROL SURFACE SETUP
*The diagram shows the recommended maximum control surface movements. If your transmitter provides
dual rate capability, set the low rate to 60% of maximum.
DIAGRAM #14 – CG Adjustment
*With all equipment installed, shift the on-board battery pack forward or aft to achieve the proper balance
point as indicated in the diagram.
