WING ATTACHMENT
To attach the top wing, begin by removing the
covering material over four slots in the bottom
surface of the top wing.
Put the top wing upside down on your work
surface using a piece of foam or a towel to pro-
tect the wing.
Place the cabane struts into position so the
wire is engaged in the slots you revealed earli-
er. The wing is held in place with four metal
straps and small self-tap screws. Position the
straps close to the bend in the struts. Pre-drill
for the screws with a 1/16" drill.
BALANCE and SURFACE THROWS
IMPORTANT- Do not attempt to fly your model
before completing this very important section.
A model that is not properly balanced will be
unstable and could cause serious damage
and/or injury.
The balance point for this model is 1/4"
behind the main spar of the top wing, fully
assembled but without fuel.
Once you have everything positioned as
necessary, wrap your receiver and battery pack
in 1/4" or 1/2" thick foam for protection.
Using the switch cover as a template, cut an
opening in the side of the fuselage to mount the
switch in. It should be on the left side of the
fuselage. Drill two 1/16" holes for the switch
mounting screws and install the switch. Drill a
1/16" hole through the fuselage side, about one
inch behind the switch mount. From the inside
out, thread the receiver antenna through this
hole. You may want to tie a knot in the antenna
3" or 4" from the receiver to act as a strain relief.
Attach the end of the antenna to the top of the
vertical fin with a small #10 rubber band and a
T-pin. Maintain only a slight amount of tension
on the antenna wire.
Set-up your radio so the airplane has the fol-
lowing throws. Make sure the directions of the
surfaces corresponds with the commands from
the transmitter; i.e., right is right and up is up.
Rudder = 3/4" Right and Left
Elevator = 1/2" Up and Down
Ailerons = 5/16" Up and Down
(Throws are measured at the rearmost edge of
the surface.)
Balance Point = 1/4" Behind Top Wing Main Spar
