into each of the holes you have drilled. Apply a drop of thin CA
into the holes to harden the threads. Once the glue has cured,
secure the control horn to the aileron with the screws.

the aileron servo and the aileron centered, mark the aileron
pushrod where it crosses the aileron servo arm. Make a 90°
bend at the mark. Cut the pushrod 3/8" [9.5mm] past the
bend. Attach the pushrod to the aileron servo arm with a

ASSEMBLE THE FUSELAGE

Install the Main Landing Gear

❏ ❏
1. Insert a 4mm axle through the right main landing
gear. Slide a 5mm washer onto the axle followed by the
5mm lock nut and the wheel. (All of these need to be slid into
position before securing the assembly to the wheel pant).
Tighten the axle nut to secure the pant to the landing gear.
Note: the front of the main landing gear is straight, the back
of the gear sweeps back. Apply a drop of thread locker to a
6-32 set screw and thread it into a 5/32" [4mm] wheel collar.
Slide the wheel collar onto the axle and then tighten the set
screw against the axle. Be sure the wheel spins freely after
the wheel collar is in place.
