Checking The Control Surface Movement - Hangar 9 Alpha 40 ARF Assembly Manual


Step 5
Continue installing a total of six or more of the rubber bands,
alternating the direction of each set until they have all been
installed.
hint: Always end the rubber band installation by
installing the cross rubber bands last. They will help in
keeping all the other rubber bands in position on the
wing dowels.
hint: After flying, store your rubber bands in a bag with
a small amount of baby powder. This will soak up the fuel
that is on the rubber bands, making them last longer.
