Fuselage Continued
94.
Open the two holes along the lower edge of the fuselage side, near the radio compartment.
95.
Slide a length of carbon rod through the small hole near the rear of rib W3. Pass the other
end of the rod through the rear hole on the fuselage side, sliding it in until it bottoms out on
the fuselage bottom. Bond the rod the the
fuselage only
with a tiny drop of medium CA.
Repeat this process to install the three remaining struts.
96.
Setting the “Washout” - View the model from the rear. Look at the root of the left wing panel,
and align your eye and the leading and trailing edges. When the leading and trailing edges
are in line with each other at the root, hold your head in the same position and view the
wing tip. Twist the wing tip until the
trailing
edge is approximately 1/8 in.
higher
than the
leading
edge. Hold the wing in this position, and apply a small drop of medium CA to the
carbon rods where they pass through rib W3. Use only the tiniest drop, so that this joint
may be released easily if necessary to make adjustments during flight trimming.
Repeat this process for the right wing panel. It is
critical
at this point that the “washout” be
equal at both wing tips
.
97.
Connect the Controls - Refer to the Pushrod Detail on the detail sheet. Pre-shrink a 1 in.
length of the heat shrink tube supplied in your kit over two scrap pieces of .020 in. wire.
98.
Make up two Part B’s from the scrap wire, and trim to an overall length of 1 in.
99.
Connect part B to the rudder control horn, then connect to the push rod with a 1/2 in. length
of the pre-shrunk tubing. You may now slide the push rod and part B past each other to
align the rudder with the vertical stabilizer. When the rudder is in the correct position, apply
a tiny drop of medium CA to both ends of the tube to secure.
Repeat this process to connect the elevator pushrod.
