ASSEMBLE THE AIRPLANE

Install the Aileron Servo

❏
1. Connect the aileron servo to the receiver. Use your
ESC or a receiver pack to power the receiver. Turn on your
transmitter and center the aileron servo. Do not skip this
step, as the aileron servo must be installed into the fuselage
with the servo horn attached to it.
❏
2. Cut two arms from a four-arm servo horn as shown.
Enlarge the outer holes in the remaining servo arms with a
3/64" [1.2mm] drill bit.
❏
3. Install the servo horn perpendicular to the servo case.
❏
4. Feed the aileron servo wire out of the right side of the
aileron servo bay. Fit the aileron servo into the aileron servo
bay with the servo spline towards the rear of the plane. Apply a
couple of drops of thick foam safe CA glue to each servo case
tab, securing the servo to the fuse. Add a couple of drops of CA
glue near the base of the servo case as well. It does not require
much CA glue to secure the servo to the fuse. Excess glue will
simply make it difficult to remove the servo in the future.

Install the Wing Panels

❏ ❏
1. For the best adhesion on the painted surfaces,we
recommend roughing up the painted surfaces to be glued
with fine grit sandpaper such as 320-grit. Wiping the areas
to be glued with a paper towel dampened with denatured
alcohol will reduce the gloss of the paint and also improve
adhesion. If using alcohol, we recommend only making one
pass with the towel. Excessive wiping will completely
remove the paint from the foam.
❏ ❏
2. Apply a bead of thick CA glue to the tops of the wing
supports on the left side of the fuse. We recommend using
CA accelerator to speed assembly time.
