18. Installing the receiving system components (KIT+RR)
Plug all the servo leads into the receiver, and program the model
at the transmitter so that the control surface travels are as stated
(
Point 19 ). The socket sequence for MULTIPLEX radio control
systems - assuming that you have not re-assigned the channels
- is as follows:
1. L.H. aileron
2. Elevator
3. Rudder
4. Throttle
5. R.H. aileron
6. L.H. fl ap
7. R.H. fl ap
8. Aero-tow release
9. Cargo bay doors
10. POWER-MULTIlight
Fix the receiver to the inside of the cabin window using hook-and-
loop tape. The tape will adhere more strongly to the ELAPOR
®
surface if you apply a few drops of Zacki to the sticky surface fi rst.
19. Assembling the model (KIT+RR)
Fit the wing joiner 125 through the fuselage facing ribs with the
plastic stop-piece 130 on the left-hand side. Slide the rear spar
126 into one wing panel, and push that wing fully onto the wing
joiner. Take care not to allow the struts (attached to the wings) to
damage the fuselage.
Push the second wing fully into place, then secure both wings
with the two M5 x 15 mm retaining screws
80 , fi tting them through
the facing ribs.
Fig. 82
Connect the wing struts to the brackets on the undercarriage,
and push a folding spring bolt
105 through the strut fi tting and the
bracket on each side. Fold the spring bolts over to secure the struts.
Within certain limits it is possible to adjust the length of the struts
at the threaded ends. Make any adjustments required at this point,
to ensure that the wing is not under stress.

20. Balancing (KIT+RR)
Fit the fl ight battery and battery tray in the fuselage, and adjust
their position until the model balances at the
85 mm point (Centre
of Gravity measured back from the wing leading edge close to the
fuselage). Secure the battery with the hook-and-loop tape
143 and
144 supplied, and the hook-and-loop strap 145 .
To ensure that the tape adheres well to the bottom of the fuselage
we recommend applying a few drops of Zacki to the sticky surface.
!CAUTION!: if you place a heavy payload, such as sweets, in the
cargo bay, the additional weight will move the model’s Centre of
Gravity further aft (back). If you intend to use the cargo bay, it is im-
portant to check the CG with the payload installed in the fuselage.
21. Recommended control surface travels (KIT+RR)
Rudder: right / left 30 mm ~35°, approx. 40% Expo
Elevator: up 25 mm, down 12 mm, approx. 50% Expo
Aileron: up 13 mm, down 12 mm approx. 50% Expo
Landing fl aps: down 90°, down-elevator compensation approx. 4
mm, approx. 0.8 sec. delay
22. Safety
Safety is the First Commandment when fl ying any model aircraft.
Third party insurance is mandatory. If you join a model club,
suitable cover will usually be available through the organisation.
It is your personal responsibility to ensure that your insurance is
adequate (i.e. that its cover includes powered model aircraft). Make
it your job to keep your models and your radio control system in
perfect order at all times. Check and observe the correct charging
procedure for the batteries you are using. Make use of all sensible
safety systems and precautions which are advised for your system.
An excellent source of practical accessories is the MULTIPLEX
main catalogue or our website www.multiplex.de
MULTIPLEX products are designed and manufactured exclusi-
vely by active modellers for practising modellers. Always fl y with
a responsible attitude. You may think that fl ying low over other
people’s heads is proof of your piloting skill; others know better.
The real expert does not need to prove himself in such childish
ways. Let other pilots know that this is what you think too, as it is in
all our interests. Always fl y in such a way that you do not endanger
yourself or others. Bear in mind that even the best RC system in
the world is subject to outside interference. No matter how many
years of accident-free fl ying you have under your belt, you have
no idea what will happen in the next minute.
Before every fl ight, check that the battery, the wings and the
tailplane are attached and
fi rmly seated. Check in turn that
each control surface is operating correctly!
We - the MULTIPLEX team - hope you have many hours of ple-
asure building and fl ying your new model.
