  • Page 18: Rudder Assembly

     Gas engine mount kit RUDDER ASSEMBLY NOTE: There are pictures of different planes in this manual, however, this plane’s wings is assembled the same way. 1．It is much easier to install the twin control horns before installing the rudder. Locate the carbon fiber rudder control horns, ball links, and associated bolts and nylon-insert lock nuts.
  • Page 19 3．To fit the rudder to the fin, locate the rudder hinge wire and insert. To make it easier to insert twist as it is inserted.
  • Page 20 4. The SLICK can use either closed loop or a rear push pull servo for the rudder. We recommend that you balance the model assembled before choosing your servo placement. 5. The SLICK is supplied with a high quality set of pull-pull cables and ball-links. 6.
  • Page 21 8. Use your radio system to center the rudder servo and attach either the supplied arm or an appropriate arm for your servo. Thread one of the ball links about half way onto one of the threaded couplers. Feed the loose end of one of the cables through a brass tube and then through the threaded coupler.
  • Page 22 9. Check the operation of the rudder using your radio and make sure there is no binding and the cables are adjusted properly. You may have to tighten the cables after a few flights as they may stretch slightly from the initial installation.

  • Page 23: Landing Gear Assembly

    LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLY 1. Locate the supplied main and tail wheel landing gear parts and sort them out on your workbench. 2. 2. Bolt the main gear to the bottom of the fuselage using the supplied screws and stainless steel Self- locking nuts.
  • Page 24 3. Place the Fairings onto the landing gear. 4. Install the main wheel axles to the composite landing gear and tighten the nylon-insert lock nut. Install one wheel collar onto the axle. Use a second wheel collar as a guide to leave a gap on the inboard of the axle. Use a small drop of thread-lock and tighten in place.
  • Page 25 5. Fit the wheel pant in place and install using the two supplied bolts. Use thread-lock to secure the bolts in place. Repeat the above steps for the other main gear. 6. Using silicone attaches the fairings to the fuselage. Use tape to hold them into position and leave for a few hours to ensure that the silicon has set.
  • Page 26 The installation is very simple, the factory has installed most of the accessories, please see the following pic ture. 8. Use your finger to find the three holes at the bottom of the fuselage. Using a knife clear the holes and fix the tailwheel in place.

  • Page 27: Wings Assembly

    WINGS ASSEMBLY NOTE: There are pictures of different planes in this manual, however, this plane’s wings is assembled the same way. 1. Aileron push rod linkage set. 3mmx61mm Pushrods for aileron. 2. Locate the slots for the aileron control horn and remove the covering with a sharp knife. Place the horns into position and the cover over the top to work out the area needing to be removed.
  • Page 28 3. Rough the area of the horn that will be glued in place. 4. Using 30 minute epoxy glue the horn and plate into the aileron. REPEAT FOR THE OTHER SIDE 5. Place the servo in the bay and drill holes for the servo screws. Remove the servo and apply thin cyano to the holes.

  • Page 29: Elevator Assembly

    6. We recommend using KUZA 1.5” aluminium CNC servo arm (sold separately) for wing control. Using the pushrods connect the servo arm to the horn. Remember that on the pushrod one end is reverse threaded. Use M3 screws and nuts to connect the pushrod. Set it so the aileron it level when the arm is at 90 degrees. REPEAT FOR THE OTHER SIDE ELEVATOR ASSEMBLY 1.
  • Page 30 2. Find the slots for the control arms in the elevators and remove the covering where the horns are inserted and the area for the plate. 3. Sand the area on the horn that will be glued inside the elevator. 4.
  • Page 31 6. Place the servo into the elevator and screw in place. Remember to harden the holes with thin Cyano. 7. Place the servo arm back onto the servo, remembering to centre. Use nutlock on the servo arm screw. 8. Fit the pushrod in place remembering one end is reverse threaded. Set it so the arm is centered and the elevator is flat.
  • Page 32 REPEAT FOR THE OTHER SIDE 9. We recommend using KUZA 1.75” aluminium CNC servo arm (sold separately) for elevator control. ENGINE, EXHAUST, & FUEL SYSTEM INSTALLATION Templates are provided in the kit for both DA 50 and 60 along with the 3W 55 cc. Select the correct guide for your engine and mark and drill the mounting holes and cut out the center as indicated.
  • Page 33 2. Fit the Cowl and measure the distance from the engine bulkhead to the front of the cowl, add approx 2- 3mm for the spinner back plate and this is the length that your engine should be set Using the correct length stand offs, mount your engine securely using bolts, 20mm POM washers, and locknuts.
  • Page 34 5. Assemble the throttle servo mount using the supplied laser cut parts or there is a servo cutout in the bottom of the engine box for 50cc-70cc engines. Mount your throttle servo and complete your linkage setup. A hole will need to be drilled on the firewall to allow the pushrod to connect to the throttle arm on the carb. 6.
  • Page 35 A barb on the bottom of the fuselage can be fitted for the vent. 8. The SLICK comes with a canister pipe tunnel. Standard muffler, pitts muffler, canister or tuned pipe can be fitted. If a tuned pipe is going to be used the end of the can tunnel can be removed. The tunnel can be closed off to accept canisters of all sizes, or stock mufflers.
  • Page 36 Canister Fitting Tuned Pipe Mounting The SLICK comes with many openings for the exhaust outlet, line up the exhaust then remove the covering for the required outlet. They come with covers that can be used for cooling. Use a soldering iron to open up the holes.
  • Page 37 Installation of KUZA Fuel Dot and Fuel Vent Line Plug （Included） 1. From June 2015 and on, all Goldwing gas airplanes are made ready for KUZA fuel dot and vent line plug. Available in three colors: black, red and blue.
  • Page 38 Secure the housing of fuel dot with supplied 2.5 mm self-tapping screws, then plug and install the fuel line to complete the setup of fuel dot. 3. Installation of KUZA CNC Aluminum Fuel Vent Line Plug...

  • Page 39: Cowling Installation

    Similarly, two sites for vent line plug installation are available at the bottom of the fuselage. Secure KUZA vent line plug with four 2.5 mm self-tapping screws as shown below. COWLING INSTALLATION With the engine fitted, tape a piece of card to the bottom of the fuselage that can overlap the cylinder head. Remove the engine and refit the cowl.
  • Page 40 As the SLICK has a scale inlet, depending on your engine it may need to be removed. If it is still attached it may be beneficial to strengthen with a small amount of glass cloth.  If your exhaust outlet comes out within the cowl area then use the same method. ...
  • Page 41 3.The cowl is secured with four 3 x 16mm bolts and washers. Apply nutlock onto the bolts as the vibration from the gas engine will shake them come loose. Labels are provided for aligning the drill holes for the cowl. Stick then on without the cowl, mark the hole. Fit the cowl then press back down.
  • Page 42 To perform properly without being too pitch sensitive, you must not go too aft on the CG. GoldWing RC recommends an initial CG setting of 145-163mm(5.7-6.4 inches) behind the leading edge of the wing at the root. More experienced pilots may want to set the CG further aft for more 3D capability.
  • Page 43 Note: The best way to check your balance is to trim for level flight at about 1/2 to 3/4 throttle and then roll inverted. The aircraft should maintain level flight with very little to no down elevator input. If the aircraft climbs when inverted then you’ve probably got your CG too far aft.
  • Page 44 Then install pull-pull ball links on control horns. 3．Install the wings onto the fuselage being careful to align the wing tube with the wings and not force it. The wing tube may be initially tight but will loosen after some with use. Guide your servo wires into the fuselage openings and connect to the correct aileron channels.
  • Page 45 5. Fill your fuel tank making sure your vent line is not plugged or capped. With the canopy off, this is a good time to check for any fuel leaks. 6. Position the canopy in place and tighten ALU Canopy Bolts. Be sure to use the supplied PTFE washers under the screw heads.
