The other ends of the steel wires
30
are pushed through
the transverse holes for the linkage connectors
25
.
Embed the Bowden pull wires into the fuselage and fix
the shorter external sleeve
31
as shown in
fig. 13
-
fig.
16
. If necessary, the steel wire
30
is bent with pliers at
the rudder horn
fig. 16
. The external Bowden pull wire
sleeves
31
are now adhered to the fuselage along their
entire length. This much increases the stability of the
rudder support. Ensure that the Bowden pull wires run
easily and that no glue can enter into the Bowden pull
wire sleeve. Finally, the servo motors are set to the
neutral position and the hexagon-socket worm screws
28
are tightened at the linkage connections
25
.
9. Antenna installation to the bottom of the fuselage
The connection to the antenna for the receiver is led to
the bottom of the fuselage and inserted into the plastic
tube
32
.
For this, a hole must be pierced from the beginning of
the groove along the bottom of the groove to the inside
of the fuselage, then push the antenna through from
the inside and insert into the tube
32
. This is most easily
done with a pointed steel wire. It is then pushed along
tube
32
and stuck into the end of the antenna insulation.
It may be helpful to secure the end with a spot of
superglue. At the end of the fuselage, the antenna tube
is inserted into the spike and secured along its entire
length by means of adhesive tape. Warning: Do not bend
the fuselage while doing this.

10. Gluing in the locking pin for the canopy
Pairs of locking pins
23
are inserted into the canopy
5
.
The pins should point towards the inside! Apply “ZACKi
leicht verdickt” to the toothed part, but without activator!
Then insert half of the locking pins into the slots of the
canopy. Immediately allow the canopy to be locked by
the locking pins in the locking plates
22
and then align
without delay. Wait for approx. 1 minute and then open
the canopy carefully. Spray activator onto the gluing
points of the locking pins.

11. Attaching the propeller
Detach the propeller from the (black) spinner, turn over
the propeller (the embossed writing will now point to
the rear) and then re-insert the spinner. Pierce the
spinner with a needle from the rear to the front. This
allows the air to escape during the later installation. The
propeller is then glued onto the motor shaft using 5-
minute-resin or using Endfest 300 (UHU).
Fig. 19
Do not use superglue here!!! It may cause the
material to become brittle and shatter then the
spinner will detach!
12. Inserting the wings
The spar covers
8
and
9
must be carefully glued into
the wings
6
and
7
. Take care not to allow any glue to
touch the surfaces which will later be inserted into the
spar connectors
34
. First try out the spar connectors
34
, when you are certain that there is no active glue
inside the hole, the spar is to be inserted. Otherwise it
might happen that you will be unable to ever dismantle
the model again.

13. Checking the plug-in connection
Now assemble the model by means of the spar
connector
34
. When doing this, check the correct
attachment of the wings
6
+
7
in the fuselage. If
necessary re-work carefully.

14. Installing flight battery and receiver
The installation of the flight battery and the receiver is
as follows: The flight battery is located in the front of
fuselage nose, and behind it is the receiver. While
positioning these elements, pay attention to the location
at which the center of gravity should eventually lie
according to point
17
. Glue the Velcro tape (knobbly
side) to the positions on the fuselage floor where the
flight battery and the receiver are to be installed. The
adhesive backing of the Velcro tape is not sufficient for
this purpose; use additional superglue.
The final position of the flight battery is determined when
the center of gravity is determined. Ensure that the
Velcro tape makes good contact with the battery . If you
are not working carefully here, you might lose your
battery in-flight.
Each time before take-off check that the battery is
securely attached!
Test-install all the connections following the instructions
for the remote control.
Insert the battery / motor controller connection plug
only after switching on your transmitter and if you
are certain that the transmitter throttle control is
set to the off position.
Insert the servo motor plug into the receiver. Switch on
the transmitter and connect the drive battery to the
controller and the controller to the receiver. Your
controller must be equipped with a battery eliminator
circuit (BEC,this powers the receiver and servos directly
from the flight battery.).
Now briefly switch the motor on and re-check the
direction of rotation of the propeller. (Hold the model
firmly during the test run, remove loose, light objects
from behind the model.)
Caution, even with small motors and propellers there
is the danger of injury!
15. Adjustment of the elevator and the rudder
movement
In order to make the model follow commands smoothly,
the travel of the rudder and elevator movement must
be adjusted correctly.
The
elevator upwards (pull control stick ) approx. 5
mm
and
downwards (push control stick) approx. 4
mm
. The
rudder 10 mm to both the left-hand side
and the right-hand side
; measure at the lowest point
of the rudder on either side.
