Servo Choice:
We strongly advise that you use the recommended high-torque digital metalgeared
servos on all the main flight controls, and the milled plywood mounts are
specifically designed for these.
There are plenty of alternative servos available from many manufacturers.
However, it is important that you measure the "height" of the servo from the
mounting flanges to the control arm. This dimension is important to know BEFORE
you glue any mounting frames in the stab or wing.
Servo Screws:
Fix the all the servos into the milled plywood servo mounts using the 2.9 Ø
x13mm or 16mm sheet metal screws provided in the kit, not the standard screws
normally supplied with servos by the servo manufacturer. This is because all the
holes in our milled servo mounts are 2mm diameter, due to our CNC
manufacturing process, and this is too big for the normal screws.
Building Sequence:
The actual building sequence is your choice, but it is definitely most efficient to
follow the sequence of this manual.
Take Care:
Composite sandwich parts are extremely strong, but fragile at the same time.
Always keep in mind that these composite airplanes are designed for minimum
weight and maximum strength in flight. Please take care of it, especially during
transport, to make sure that none of the critical parts and linkages are damaged.
Always handle your airplane with great care, especially on the ground and during
transport, so you will have many hours of pleasure with it.
To protect the finished surface on the outside of the model from scratches and
dents during building, cover your work table with a piece of soft carpet, cloth or
bubble-plastic. The best way to stop small spots of glue getting stuck to the
outside painted surfaces is to give the whole model 2 good coats of clear car wax
first, but of course you must be sure to remove this 100% properly before adding
any additional paint, markings or trim.
