Control Linkages
(continued)
86.
Refer to the
Pushrod Detail
drawing on the
Detail Sheet 2 of 2
, and connect the pushrods to
the control horns with “Parts B” and a 3/8 in. length of preshrunk tubing. Slide “Part B” back
and forth past the pushrod within the tube, until the control surface is centered. When
satisfied that the control surface is centered, apply a small drop of medium CA to both ends
of the preshrunk tubing to secure it.
Landing Gear
87.
Slit the covering over the slot at the
rear
of the fuselage
bottom
. Press the tail skid, part TS
(sheet 10/10, 1/32 in. ply) into the slot. Bond with medium CA.
88.
Bend the landing gear wire over the pattern on the
Landing Gear Detail
drawing shown on
Detail Sheet 1 of 2
. Use the length of 1/32 in. wire supplied in the kit. Proceed carefully –
accuracy is critical for a proper fit.
89.
Mount the wheels to the axle, retain them by bending the axle up 90 degrees. Trim off the
excess wire. Optional: Plastic wheel retainer (DUB868), may be used to retain the wheels.
Trim the axles about 1/8 in. beyond the outer face of the wheels, and press the retainers
onto the axle.
90.
Slit the covering over the landing gear pocket, and press the landing gear wire into the slot.
Retain the landing gear by pressing LG4 (sheet 10/10, 1/32 in. ply) into the slot until it is
flush with the
bottom
of the fuselage. Secure with CA along the landing gear pocket and
the point where the wire exits.
91.
Remove the covering over the four slots on the
bottom
of the fuselage to receive the
landing gear struts. Mount the struts, and bond them to the fuselage with medium CA.
Do not bond the landing gear wire to the struts.
It must remain free to flex and
absorb the shock of landing.
Wing Mounting
92.
Fit the central spar CS1 into the slots in the cockpit, immediately in
front
of the receiver tray.
