  • Page 5 Horizontal & Vertical Stabiliser Assembly (continued): Once you are certain that these parts align correctly, apply adhesive to the mating surfaces and secure in position using two 3x60mm screws, (Image 6). Use a thin film of adhesive and remove any excess carefully before the adhesive cures.
  • Page 6 Rudder & Elevator Control Rods: Pass the “Z” bend of the rudder control rod through the hole in the rudder servo arm. Then connect the plastic clevis to the rudder control arm as shown, (Image 12). Repeat the process connecting the elevators to the elevator servos, (Image 12+13). Main Landing Gear Installation: Position the main landing gear on the fuselage, ensuring that the holes in the landing gear line- up correctly with the holes in the wood mount.
  • Page 7 Cowl Assembly: Referring to images 17, 18 + 19, use the adhesive to glue the scale exhaust stacks and additional scale detailing in position. Ensure that the cowl is correctly aligned, then fix in position with the 2 x screws provided. The cowl must be firmly secured, but be careful not to over tighten, (Image 20).
  • Page 8 Canopy: A pilot figure is not included with this model. However if you wish to fit one we recommend “Dave”, Part No. CUK-P-DAVE, (Image 27). Your choice of pilot should be fixed in position with double sided self-adhesive tape prior to securing the canopy with the supplied fixing screws, (Image 26).
  • Page 9 Aileron Control Rods: Pass the “Z” bend of the aileron control rod through the hole in the aileron servo arm. Connect the plastic clevis to the control arm as shown, (Image 29). Fix the aileron servo cover in position as shown using adhesive, (Image 30 + 31).
  • Page 10 Final assembly (continued): Plug all the servo leads into your receiver (not included). Ensure that you have the correct servo plugged into the appropriate channel of your receiver. Fix the receiver to the fuselage using double sided tape, (Image 35). Be certain to comply with any instructions from the manufacturer of the receiver regarding aerial positioning.
  • Page 11 IMPORTANT: Check before flight: Check that all control surfaces move in the correct directions without binding. We recommend the following control surface deflections for initial flight testing: Ailerons: 10mm deflection each way. Elevator: 10mm deflection each way. Rudder: 10mm deflection each way. These values can be altered after initial test flights to suit the pilot’s personal preference.
