manufacturer can be used. Use a Y-
harness to connect the tail wheel
steering servo to the rudder
(remember to cross over the pull/pull
cables to synchronise the direction of
movement).
Now prepare the wooden board to be
mounted into the center wing. Glue
the wood rails along the edges to the
bottom side of the center wing
laminate. Then use 4 sheet metal
screws to mount the board to these
wooden rails, so that it remains
removable for maintenance.
Installation of all components is also
much easier when it is removed from
the center wing.
First mount the air valves for retracts
and gear doors. In our solution we
have introduced the use of 2 Jet-
Tronic valves. Air plumbing is
straight forward, main gear and main
gear doors can be permanently
connected, the cylinder for the tail
wheel needs to be T'd in with 2 quick
disconnectors. Please make sure that
all air lines are installed clean and
tidy, so that you can trouble shoot
easily if something is not working
correctly. Make sure that the color
coding is clear, the UP line should be
different in color than DOWN line.
Also keep in mind that you have
similar 3mm Festo tubing to be
installed for the wing fold. Pick the
colors carefully before you start
plumbing.
Electronically you can connect the air
valves with a Y-harness into one
receiver channel. Please put a slow
motion function to the gear channel (4
seconds UP and 1 second DOWN).
Then program the switch points
according to the valve instruction,
retract valve close to the DOWN
position, gear door valve close to the
