Final wiring and
fuel/air/hydraulic
plumbing
The fuel tank installation is very
straight forward. First finish the
internal plumbing of the fuel tank as
usual and then install it to the center
board with Velcro. Fit the board into
the fuselage and glue it to the side
walls. Reinforce with fiberglass band.
On the opposite side of this center
board you can now install your
receiver, Powerbox or DPSI, if you
chose to use one. The switches can be
installed so that they are accessible
through a hatch in the fuselage,
charging sockets for receiver and
ignition battery as well. We suggest a
very practical solution with the photo
on the bottom of this page.
Aileron and flap servo extensions can
be soldered up using multi pin
connectors. Standard extension leads
of your radio manufacturer can also
be used. For the outer wing servos
you will have to permanently install
approximately 50 cm (20") long
extension wires into the center wing.
Make sure that during the wing
folding procedure the outer
connectors cannot be disconnected
accidentally. At the receiver's side you
can use another short extension lead
so that you don't have to plug the
aileron/flap servo leads directly into
the receiver at every setup at the
flying field. The long extension
permanently installed in the center
wing can also incorporate a Y-harness
to the inner flap servo.
For elevator and rudder servos lead
extensions can be hard wired or
standard extensions of your radio
