Fig. 8
- Connect the pushrods to the servo output arms, then
place the servos in the fuselage and fit the self-tapping
screws to secure them.
Fig. 9
- Unwind the flexible wire aerial attached to the receiver.
- Note: if your radio control system features a six-channel
receiver and mixer functions, the aileron servos can be
connected to two separate channels. In this case you will
need to use two servo extension leads, F 1419, instead of
the Y-lead.
Fig. 10
- Apply a strip of Velcro tape to the receiver, and stick the
matching piece in the fuselage.
- Pierce a 2 mm Ø hole in the fuselage.
- Run the wire aerial through the hole in the fuselage bot-
tom and out of the fuselage.
Do not deploy the aerial inside the fuselage tail boom.
Fig. 11
- Connect the servos and the Y-lead to the receiver. Read
the instructions supplied with the RC system to ensure
that you connect the servos to the correct receiver
sockets.
- Install the receiver in the fuselage, running the aerial
towards the tail.
Fig. 12
- Deploy the aerial along the fuselage and tape it to the tail
end.
The tail panels
Fig. 13
- Mount the swivel pushrod connectors on the control sur-
face horns.
- Note the correct positions:
inner hole on the rudder horn,
outer hole on the elevator horn.
Figs. 14
- Place the fin on the tailplane.
Fig. 15
- Place the tail assembly on the fuselage, slipping the pus-
hrods through the swivel pushrod connectors at the same
time.
- Fit the M4 x 30 plastic screw and tighten it gently to secu-
re the tail assembly. Don’t over-tighten it!
Fig. 16
- Check from the transmitter that the servos are at centre.
- Set the rudder and elevators to centre, then tighten the
screws in the swivel pushrod connectors.
The ASW 15 as a pure glider
Fig. 17
- Connect the receiver battery to the receiver using the
switch harness.
Fig. 18
- Install the receiver battery and slide it forward into the
nose. The switch can be attached to the fuselage using
Velcro tape.
Figs. 19 and 20
- Place the glider nosecone on the model and fit the retai-
ning screws to secure it.
- Assemble the model completely as shown in Figs. 25 -
28, and balance it carefully. Check all the working
systems in turn.
The electric power system
Fig. 21
- During the following stages it is important to read the
instructions supplied with the motor and the speed con-
troller. Solder the appropriate connectors to the leads
attached to the motor, the speed controller and the flight
battery, and insulate each joint with a heat-shrink sleeve.
Fig. 22
- Place the motor in the fuselage nose and secure it with
two M3 x 6 countersunk machine screws.
- Turn the motor shaft by hand to check that the cables do
not foul the motor case. If necessary, remove a little mate-
rial from the inside of the fuselage to provide proper clea-
rance.
- Connect the speed controller to the motor and receiver,
and install it in the fuselage.
Fig. 23
- Assemble the propeller and fit it on the motor shaft. Set
the axial clearance of about 4 mm as shown, and tighten
the socket-head screws to fix the propeller to the shaft.
Fig. 24
- Fit the spinner cap over the propeller.
Final stages
Figs. 25 and 26
- Fit the wing panels together as shown.
- Note:
the canopy features a magnetic closure, and can be
removed simply by lifting it off.
