Using hardware supplied with your servos, install the rudder and
elevator servos in their servo tray.
b.
Connect the EZ Link connectors to the servo arms. Guide the EZ Link
connectors onto the rudder and elevator pushrods. (Do NOT tighten
the EZ Link connectors onto the pushrods at this time.) Mount the
servo arms onto the servos. Connect the servos to your receiver and
position the receiver under or behind the servos.
2.
Motor and Dummy Engine
–
a.
This airplane is designed for a Uranus 35425 motor. However, since you may
have your own motor preference, we provide wooden spacers to help fit other
motors. Determine how many spacers may be required behind the motor and/
or the dummy engine by test fitting the motor to the firewall, placing the
dummy engine over the motor, and using spacers to adjust the motor and/or
the dummy engine to bring the prop. backplate approx. 1/4 inch in front of the
dummy engine. Attach any required spacers to the firewall with CA adhesive.
b.
Use the hardware provided with your motor to secure the motor to the
firewall. Apply threadlock compound to protect your motor mounting
bolts from vibration. If necessary, cut off and discard the ends of any bolts
that may be projecting behind the firewall, into the battery compartment.
