PREPARATION
Use a covering iron set to about 300° F with a covering sock
to go over the model tightening the covering where necessary.
NOTE:
This covering material requires less heat than you
may be used to. Excessive heat will cause the covering to pull
away from the seams or may even cause the parts to bend.
WING ASSEMBLY
Let’s start with the right wing.
❏
1. Pull on the ailerons to check that the CA hinges are
securely glued. If needed, apply a couple drops of thin CA
and check again.

2. Follow the instructions included with your servos to
install the rubber grommets and metal eyelets.
❏
3. Install a servo lead extension (not included). Secure the
connection with tape or shrink tubing (not included).
❏
4. Center the aileron servo.
a.
Connect the servo to the receiver.
b.
Switch on the transmitter and temporarily connect
the ESC and motor battery or a receiver battery to
the receiver.
c.
Center the aileron trim on the transmitter.
d.
Install a servo arm so that one of the arms is
perpendicular to the centerline of the servo, as shown.
Remove the unused arms.
e.
Unplug the motor or receiver battery and switch off
the transmitter.
❏
5. Center the aileron servo arm in the aileron hatch opening.
Use 6-minute epoxy to glue the two hardwood aileron servo
mounting blocks to the hatch.
❏
6. Place a piece of thin cardboard or paper folded over
several times between the servo and the aileron hatch. Drill
1/16" [1.5mm] holes for the servo mounting screws and install
the screws.
