(NOTE: If necessary, use a Q-tip dipped in acetone or polish remover to clean excess epoxy from
the bottom of the fuselage. Read and follow all health and safety warnings associated with
these chemicals.)
23.
Slide the wings back onto their wing rods. As the wing panels near the center sections, connect
the aileron extensions to the ends of the Y-harnesses. (NOTE: We recommend using optional
servo safety clips to secure all servo, servo extension and Y-harness connections.)
24.
Push the excess aileron servo extension and Y-harness wires back inside the wing panels and
gently press the wing panels against their wing center sections as shown below.
25.
Temporarily secure the wing panels to their center sections by applying 1 inch of 3/4-inch wide
transparent tape to cover the area where each wing panel touches its center section.
NOTE: Since disassembly is optional, instead of using tape, a conservatively minded customer
may apply epoxy to the wing rods to permanently secure the wing panels to their center sections.
26.
Locate the interplane strut-mounting ‘pockets’ in the bottom of each top wing panel and in the top
of the bottom wing panels by pushing gently on the Mylar covering with your fingernail.
(NOTE: The strut mounting ‘pockets’ are located at the 5
th
and 11
th
full-chord wing rib counting
from each wing panel’s root rib, approx. 1
1/2
and 5
1/4
inches behind the leading edge of the
lower wing, and at approx. 1
3/4
and 5
9/16
inches behind the leading edge in the upper wing.)
27.
Cut through the Mylar covering each of the strut-mounting ‘pockets.’
28.
Locate and open the plastic bag containing the 8 identical wing struts.
29.
Apply 5-minute epoxy to both ends
of the mounting tabs on each strut.
Carefully insert each strut into its
set of ‘pockets’ in the top and
bottom wing panels.
(NOTE: Lock each tab into its open-
ing by filling the hole with epoxy.
Depending on the position of the
center sections, it is possible that not every strut will need to be fully seated into its
opening.)
30.
With the struts positioned in their ‘pockets,’ use masking tape between the top and
bottom wing panels to hold them in position as the epoxy cures. When the epoxy is
cured fully, remove the masking tape.
D. POWER SYSTEM INSTALLATION
NOTE: Since there are no ‘industry standards’ for motor or engine mounting, radio-system features, or
the personal preferences of RC pilots, the majority of the following power-system-installation
instructions are generalized. Adjust the following steps to meet the requirements
of your particular choice of engine or motor, radio system and flying style.
