Page 13: Control Throws
# Pre-flight adjustment must be done before flying, it is very dangerous to fly a badly pre-adjusted aircraft. SkyLink 40 is specially designed to be powered by 2C 0.40-0.50 / 4C 0.52-070 engine, using a more powerful engine does not mean better performance. In fact, over powered engine may cause structural damage and injuries. - Page 14 LINKAGE CONNECTOR HW7111050 & HW7111060 Drill 2mm hole at servo horn. Insert linkage connector into servo horn. Make sure shoulder of screw is cleared from servo horn. Add washer to reduce play if necessary. Shoulder Tighten up the round nut against the shoulder.
- Page 15 Usage of the transparent 3D template This transparent 3D template is used for position guidance of the actual cutting of the pre-painted cowling. Simply cut the transparent 3D template to fit your engine and exhaust pipe, then slide onto the actual cowling and use as template to mark the openings required for final cutting.
