Electric power supply / cable connection to the aircraft system (12 Volts)
The best connection is solder with additional shrinking of the soldering joint with a shrink hose (enclosed). Only use solder for
electronic soldering never use cored solder. It contains acids which cause corrosion!
Important notes
Carefully mount the cables inside the rudder and/or the fuselage. Connect the cables professionally to the aircraft system
(red = positive,
)
and to a 5 Amps fuse protection. Luster terminals are
black = negative
,
blue = radio control,
green = FLARM
not suitable to connect cables. There is a good selection of suitable crimp connections in various shops.
Servicing / maintenance
For additional UV protection, use varnish. Should the ACL be scratched, use a good polish to refurbish the damages. With
slightly deeper scratches use wet sandpaper with very fine granulation (800-1000) carefully polish again. Do not use
aggressive chemicals like gasoline or solvent.
For day to day cleaning use soap water!
Some insect removers and detergents forces embrittlement of epoxy based plastics and laminates. Use only aircraft certified
products.
If the aircraft can not hangarized, please cover the lamps to prevent surface aging!
Pasting
Apply only as much silicone as required to paste the ACL plane (see illustration 2). After fixing the ACL to the required position,
slightly tighten the screw. With your moistened finger using dish liquid clean off any laterally dispensable silicon, a smooth
transition can be modeled between the wing and the ACL.
Silicone needs time to cure (vaporization of acetic acid). The best results are achieved at a temperature of 20° Celsius (68°
Fahrenheit). Just follow the handling instructions of the silicone. The final firmness (stability) will be reached after a few days.
