system. We have found it handy to label these leads for easy
identification when plugging them into the receiver.
❑
2) The on/off switch should be mounted on the fuselage side
opposite of the engine exhaust. You must cut a small rectangular
slot for the switch body and mount it with the hardware supplied
with the radio system.
❑
3) The receiver is now mounted in place.
First, feed the
receiver's antenna through the internal antenna tube (it exits at the
bottom rear of the fuselage). The receiver is wrapped in one of the
pieces of foam rubber and placed in the fuselage just ahead of the
servos.
Use the remaining piece of foam rubber to pad your
airborne battery pack. Wrap the pack securely with the foam and
slide it forward under the fuel tank. The final location of the battery
pack will be determined during final balancing.
PUSHROD ASSEMBLY & CONNECTION:
From the kit contents locate the following:
• 2 each .20" O.D. x 36" nylon rudder and elevator pushrods
• 1 each .065" dia. x 18" braided throttle cable
• 2 each 2-56 x 1 1/4" rods, threaded one end - rudder and
elevator servo control rods
• 2 each 2-56 x 3 1/2" rods, threaded one end - rudder and
elevator control horn rods
• 3 each 2-56 solder links
• 3 each 2-56 nylon R/C links
• 1 each 2-56 x 3/4" threaded brass coupler for the throttle
• 1 each Medium, Right Nylon Control Horn; for rudder
• 1 each Medium, Left Nylon Control Horn; for elevator
• 4 each #2 x 1/2" pan head screws - control horn attachment
You will also need three servo output arms for your servos and be
sure your radio system is charged and ready to use for this
section.
❑
1) Use your soldering iron to solder the 2-56 x 3/4" brass
coupler onto one end of the braided throttle cable. Next, solder the
unthreaded ends of the two 1 1/4" rudder and elevator servo
control rods into two of the 2-56 solder links.
❑
2) Insert the unthreaded end of the 3 1/2" control rod into one
of the 36" nylon control tubes, up to the threads on the rods.
Thread the rod into the tube about 3/16" - 1/4".
Repeat this
procedure with the remaining tube and rod. Thread a nylon R/C
link onto the exposed threads of each rod - these are the ends that
will be attached to the rudder and elevator control horns.
❑
3) Start with the rudder pushrod. Looking at the fuselage from
the rear, the rudder pushrod exit is on the left side. Attach the
control horn to the nylon R/C link. Slip the unprepared end of
the nylon control tube into the pushrod exit at the rear of the
fuselage on the left side. Push the rod all the way into the radio
compartment. Hold the nylon control horn in place against the
rudder at its leading edge, lining up the holes in the horn with the
hinge line of the rudder. Use a pencil to press indentations into the
rudder covering through the two screw hole locations on the base
of the horn.
❑
4) Remove the nylon pushrod from the fuselage and remove
the control horn from the R/C link. Use a 3/32" dia. bit to drill two
holes through the rudder at the marks just made. Press two #2 x
1/2" screws through the base of the rudder horn and the holes in
the rudder. Hold the nylon base part to the opposite side of the
rudder and secure the horn in place with a screwdriver.
❑
5) The nylon elevator control horn is mounted to the bottom of
the right elevator half (when viewed from the rear) in the same
manner as the rudder horn. Note that the elevator horn is angled
slightly inward toward the fuselage to line-up with the pushrod exit.
Install both the rudder and elevator pushrods into their exits from
the rear of the fuselage and snap the R/C links in place to the
nylon horns.
❑
6) The pushrod connections are now made for the rudder and
elevator servos. Begin by neutralizing the rudder and holding in
this position with masking tape.
Turn the radio system on and center the rudder and elevator
