VI. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
A. WING CENTER SECTIONS & LANDING GEAR
NOTE: This model was designed and test-flown with the top and bottom wings set at 0-0 degrees
to each other and to the horizontal stabilizer. If you decide to build in any different incidence
angles (not recommended), you may find it easiest to modify step 20 on page 8, steps 20, 29
and/or 30 on pages 13 and 14 according to your desires.
1.
Locate and cut
through any
Mylar covering
the openings
in the top of
the lower
wing’s center
section for the
lower wing’s
4 metal
mounting tabs.
2.
Locate the 10 metal mounting tabs shown at the right.
3.
Test-fit (
DO NOT GLUE
at this time) 4 of the metal mounting tabs into the top
of the lower wing’s center section.
4.
Mount the landing gear’s main strut using a
3mm hex wrench and threadlock to securely
drive 3 cap head bolts into the preinstalled
blind nuts at the bottom front of the fuselage.
5.
Guide the diagonal strut braces
through the openings in the lower wing’s
center section and into their openings in the
bottom of the fuselage.
6.
Center the axle through the struts with
4 wheel collars.
7.
Leave approx. 2¾ inches (the width of
the wheel plus 2 wheel collars) of axle
outside the struts. Tighten the wheel
