While the airframe and wheels are drying, it’s a good
chance to connect up all your electronics and check
everything works properly.
Check all your trims and mixing on your transmitter
are set these to neutral.
If using the recommended receiver, connect the red
and black battery wires as shown here. For the
motor, note that the white wire is towards the inside
and the black wire on the outside.
But don’t solder
the motor wires as yet.
Tape the horizontal stabilizer and elevator to a flat
surface with modelling tape to leave 0.5mm gap
between them. Then, use Blenderm hinge tape on
either side to attach the elevator surface.
Glue the horizontal stabilizer in
place and check it is level.
Allow to dry.
Use a 0.5mm diameter micro drill bit to drill out the
holes in the wheels so they spin freely on the
undercarriage.
Attach the wheels and use 4mm piece of the smaller
heat shrink tube (0.6mm tube) to keep the wheel in
place. Heat the heat shrink with a soldering iron tip
to shrink it.
Tape the vertical stabilizer in place with modelling
tape as shown here. Leave a gap of 0.5mm at the
back and 1mm at the top
Also attach the vertical
stabilizer control surface
here with a thin piece of
Blenderm hinge tape.
