preinstalled guide tube on the
left
side of the fuselage and through the pushrod
connecter on the elevator control horn. Put the Z bend of the pushrod through the
inner
hole of the arm on the left servo. Center the servo and the elevator, then
tighten the pushrod connecter.
Make sure the elevators and rudder are moving in the right direction.
ADD THE CANOPY:
If you wish, you can glue a
cockpit floor (not included) to the
bottom of the hatch and add a
pilot of your choice.
Glue the canopy in place with
"canopy glue" or contact
cement. Do not use CA
because it will leave a white firm
inside the canopy after it sets.
SETUP AND ADJUSTMENTS:
Plug all of the servos and the ESC into your receiver and mount the receiver in the
area behind the battery tray. Use Y-connectors for the ailerons and retract landing
gear.
Install your battery (
do not install a propeller yet
) and use your transmitter to re-
center all of the servos . Adjust the pushrod connectors on the ailerons, rudder and
elevators so that all of the control surfaces are centered.
Set the
initial control travels
as follows: (Measured at the widest point of the control
surface.)
High Rate Low
Rate
Ailerons
5/8" up 5/8" down
80%
Elevator
1/2" up 1/2" down
70%
Rudder
1 1/4" left and right
70%
If you use exponential, add 25% on the high rates.
Install the propeller and set the
Balance Point (C/G) at 3 1/2 to 3 3/4 inches
behind
the leading edge, at the side of the fuselage, with the stabilizer level to the ground.
NOTE:
The Hughes H-1 is a short nosed airplane. You will need to mount he battery
as far forward as possible and you will probably need to add 2 to 3 ounces of lead to the
front of the motor box.
PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS
1.
Make certain that all screws, clevises and other connections throughout the air frame are secure.
