Pike Precision 2
Congratulations for choosing the right model! Your new Pike Precision.
The model is a handmade product, carefully packed for your convenience.
Please check that all items ordered are included and not damaged during transportation.
A basic model includes:
•
2 wing sections (left and right)
•
1 fuselage with nose cone and tail cone
•
2 v-tails
•
1 carbon joiner
•
aileron and flaps horns (unless RDS version ordered)
•
2 pcs clevis couplers
•
Wire harness
•
4 plastic servo covers
Additionally you can order:
•
ballast set
•
wing bags
•
Fuse cover for sun protection
To complete a model you will need:
•
4 pcs metal geared servos for the wings. Min. 25Ncm/35oz.in
•
2 pcs 13mm servo for v-tail. Min. 20Ncm/30oz.in
•
8 clevises and 2mm threaded rods for the wings (or better 2,5mm)
•
4xAA Rx battery or equal and a sufficient switch
•
a high quality receiver
•
epoxy to glue in the servos and thin cyano (CA) to secure clevises
•
strong clear tape (12mm wide) to join the wings and v-tail to the fuselage
Assembling the wing:
•
Sand the surface of the servos and the servo trays where the servos will be glued.
•
Connect the servos and the fuse harness to the respective channels on the
receiver. Check that the aileron servo arms are set 90 degrees on the servo and
that the transmitter also is set to neutral. Check that the flap servo arms are set
identically to approximately 20 degrees (measured from the 90°-angle) towards
the flap. The transmitter should later be set to an offset so that the flap servo
arms are 90 degrees on the servos. With full butterfly the servo arms on the flaps
are almost straight towards the flap. This ensures full deflection of the flaps for
butterfly brake.
•
Check again the servo settings and also set the offset of the flap servos. Check
also that the servos move the right way.
•
Mark where the servos will be glued in place by a pencil in the servo trays and
ensure that the servo arm is aligned (straight line) to the line defined by the hole
in the subspar and the flap horn. Some like to fix their servos to the spar. This
ensures a very tight and slop free servo installation as the wing surface can bend
a little.
•
Glue the aileron and flap horns.
•
Glue the servos in using epoxy. Use a proper amount of epoxy so that some
epoxy will be pressed out on the sides of the servos when you push them in. Use
some weight fixing the servos as long as the epoxy hardens to ensure that the
servo fits perfect. If the epoxy is thin it is possible to add some thixotropy agent.
