Fuselage Assembly (not included in “short
kit”)
1.
Use the existing GWS parts from your GWS Slow
Stick™ or use the parts from our X-Fuse set.
2.
Use CA glue to attach fuselage joiner to one end of
the shorter fuselage stick (tail end).
3.
Slide one end of the longer fuselage stick into the
joiner and attach with provided screw. Cut excess
off end of screw and file down sharp edges. See
image below:
4.
Slide the push rod guide onto the tail end of the
fuselage. Then slide the rear wing saddle mount
onto the front end of the fuselage, approximately 15
½” down the stick. DO NOT SCREW IN YET.
5.
Slide the two servo mounts down about an inch from
the rear wing saddle mount. Now slide the front
wing saddle mount, approximately 5 ½” down from
the front.
6.
Slide the battery mount, onto the fuselage,
approximately 1” – ½” from the front. DO NOT
glue or screw in any of these plastic parts yet, as
they are in temporary positions. See following
diagram:
7.
Feed the long wire push rod through the push rod
guide and through the guide holes in the rear wing
saddle, so that the “Z-bend” is at the tail section.
Repeat on both sides.
8.
Install the servos, as per servo manufacturer
instructions, using servo manufacturer-provided
hardware. DO NOT SCREW any of the parts in yet.
See picture below:
Final Assembly
1.
Attach the “Z-bend” end of the long control rods
into the middle hole of each one of the tail section
control horns.
Feed the control rods through the rod
guides on the fuselage and then slide the tail section
on to the fuselage. See diagram below:
2.
Drill two small holes on the bottom center of the
horizontal stabilizer. Use the #2 3/8 screws to fasten
the fuselage to the tail assembly. Holes should be
about ½” from leading edge of the horizontal
stabilizer and 1 ¼” from the trailing edge of the
horizontal stabilizer. Do not damage the wood when
tightening. Use provided #2 washers (not shown in
picture) Please refer to next picture.
