STEp 19: inSTALLinG THE nAcELLES
IMPORTANT Each nacelle is secured to the centre wing panel, using two socket-cap screws and two flat washers. One longer
socket-cap screw is installed up through the bottom of the nacelle and into the bottom of the centre wing panel and the second
shorter socket-cap screw is installed through the front of the nacelle and into the leading edge of the centre wing panel.
In order to install the socket-cap screw at the front of each nacelle, you must remove the engine cowlings first. If possible, we
suggest leaving the nacelles attached to the centre wing panel during transport and storage.
Blind nuts are preinstalled in the wing to accept the socket-cap screws.
IMPORTANT If you have installed the optional landing gear doors, you may need to remove the actuator arms from the main
landing gear doors so that the actuator plate can be pushed up far enough to clear the wing and allow the nacelle to be slid onto
the wing.
IMPORTANT Make sure that the throttle servo leads and/or extensions are not pinched between the centre wing panel and the
nacelles.
STEp 20: FinAL ASSEmBLY
q Install your airborne equipment (battery, receiver and switch) into the fuselage. If you need to mount your battery in the nose to
balance the aircraft, mount the battery on the preinstalled plywood mounting plate.
+
We ran the receiver aerial out the bottom of the fuselage and secured it to the back of the fuselage, using clear tape.
q Install your propeller and spinner nut onto each engine, making sure to balance the propellers before installing them.
q Connect the servo extension leads and mount the outer wing panels to the centre wing panel.
q Locate the positions of the latch pins onto the forward wing mounting
bulkhead on the fuselage and the rear hatch cover support, then drill holes
through the bulkhead and the hatch cover support for the pins to slide into.
q Install the hatch cover and double-check that the hatch latches hold the
hatch cover securely in place.
q Plug the throttle servo lead from each nacelle into the servo extensions in
the centre wing panel, then install each nacelle onto the centre wing panel,
using the four socket-cap screws and four flat washers provided.
IMPORTANT The two shorter socket-cap screws are installed into the
leading edge and the two longer socket-cap screws are installed into the
bottom of the centre wing panel.
