Xenon Wing The wing consists of three panels: the centre section, which is screwed to the fuselage, and the two outboard panels, which plug into the centre section. All the wing panels are of traditional built- up construction and are supplied assembled and film-covered. The ailerons and camber-changing flaps are already hinged, and the facing ribs at the dihedral breaks are correctly angled.
Xenon The next step is to install the screw guide support block and the actual screw guide (plastic tube), to allow the tailplane to be screwed in place. Glue the tube to the balsa block using 5-minute epoxy. Glue this assembly in the fuselage, exactly vertical and exactly below the hole in the tailplane saddle (fuselage).
Xenon direction of rotation. Don’t use the propeller for this - injury hazard! Assemble and install the folding propeller, hub and spinner as described in the instructions sup- plied with the parts. Fix the speed controller to the fuselage side using a small patch of Velcro (hook-and-loop) tape. The wires between the speed controller and the motor should also be secured to avoid any chance of them fouling the rotating parts of the motor.

Xenon ways best to use approved model flying sites. Never fly towards or over spectators. Keep any high-risk flying manoeuvres well away from other people. Never attempt to repair your radio control system; always leave such work to the experts. Any home modifications to your RC system inevitably invalidate its official approval.
