WING ASSEMBLY
I. Pre-Assembly Notes
1.
Please assemble your model according to these instructions.
Do not attempt to modify or change in any way as doing so may
adversely change its flying characteristics.
2.
Before you begin, please check the entire contents of this kit
against the parts list and photo to make sure that no parts are
missing or damaged. This will also help you to become familiar
with each component of your plane.
3.
Each step of these instructions is preceded by a box which can
be checked off as you complete the step.This will allow you to
follow your progress and quickly find your starting place after any
interruptions or breaks.
Note: Your dealer cannot accept kits for return if
construction has begun.
II. Decide On Retracts
Before assembling the wing, you must decide whether or not you
are going to install the optional retracts. If you fly off a grass field, we
recommend you stay with the stock fixed gear. Instructions are
provided for either event.
III. Wing Assembly (Fixed Gear)
To hinge the aileron to the wing, begin by removing it from one of
the wing panels. Install the "CA" hinges into the aileron and use T-pins
to hold them in place while inserting the hinges in the wing (or sim-
ply us thin CA and permanently glue them in place in the aileron.)
Install the aileron onto the wing, making sure the arm of the torque
rod goes into the hole in the aileron. Keeping the gap to a minimum,
wick thin CA onto the hinges, making sure you get glue on all surfaces.
After the glue "fires", firmly tug on the aileron to make sure it is secure.
Repeat for the other wing panel.
With a wing panel upside down on your work surface, cut away the
material that covers the landing gear block area. With the landing gear
block centered over the hole, mark around the block. Next, cut away
the balsa sheeting from this area.
Note that each landing gear block has a hole pre-drilled. This hole
goes to the center of the wing. With this in mind, securely glue the
landing gear blocks in place with 30 minute epoxy. Wipe away any excess.
