    RUDDER ASSEMBLY Rudder pushrod linkage set. NOTE: Rudder is Pull-push style. 2. Locate rudder, 2 control horns and base plate. Rudder is driven by pull-push rod, servo bay is on the right side of the fuselage. 3. Locate the slot for control horn on rudder, remove the covering over the slot with heated soldering iron or sharp hobby knife, and make sure you do it on the right side of the aileron.
  • Page 19 4. Use some fine sandpaper to roughen up the root of control horn where will be glued into the slot. 5. Fill the slot and coat the root of control horn and the bottom of base plate with 30 minute epoxy, insert the horn into the slot, press it down firmly.
  • Page 20 servo wires into the fuselage. The screw holes for servo mounting are laser pre-drilled, it is advisable to apply some thin CA to strengthen them, Install the servos and screw firmly in place. 8. Use your radio to set the center of servo and then assemble and adjust the length of the control rod. The servo arm should be as close to perpendicular to the control rod as possible while the aileron is at neutral.
  • Page 21: Landing Gear Assembly

    LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLY NOTE: There are pictures of different planes in this manual, however, this plane’s landing gear is assembled the same way. 1. Locate the supplied main and tail wheel landing gear parts and sort them out on your workbench. 2.
  • Page 22 3. Bolt the main gear to the bottom of the fuselage using the supplied screws and stainless steel Self-locking nuts. Place the bolts in through the can tunnel opening with appropriate size spanner. Remember the gear will rake forward. Adjust the position of the landing gear fairings, the secure with glue (shoe goo type).
  • Page 23 5.Loosen out the inner nut, then apply thread lock to the axle. Tighten the nut back in place, allow the thread locker to dry. 6. Install the main wheel axles to the composite landing gear and tighten the nylon-insert lock nut. Install one wheel collar onto the axle.
  • Page 24 7. Fit the wheel pant in place and install using the two supplied bolts and washers. Use thread-lock to secure the bolts in place. Repeat the above steps for the other main gear.
  • Page 25 8. The tail wheel installation is very simple, the factory has installed most of the accessories, see the below picture. 9. Line up the caron fiber assembly onto the body of the aircrtaft and use the holes as a drill guide. Use a 2mm drill bit as a pilot hole, then apply thin CA to harden the wood.
  • Page 26 10. Drill another 2mm pilot hole at the end of the rudder and apply thin CA. It needs to be in a position where the spring is tensioned. Use a self tapping screw to secure in place. 11. The below is a picture of correctly installed tail wheel assembly. NOTE: One spare tail wheel spring is included in the spare hardware pack.
  • 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. 2. The aileron control surfaces is Pre-hingeds. 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. 5.Screw holes for servo mounting are pre-drilled by laser in factory, install servo with 4 self threading screws.Fit a metal servo arm centering with your radio.
  • Page 29 6.Locate the included aluminum long servo arm, enlarge control holes with 2.5mm drill bit 7.Using the pushrods connect the servo arm to the horn. Remember that on the pushrod one end is reverse threaded.
  • Page 30: Elevator Assembly

    Use M2.5 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 8. We recommend using KUZA 1.5” aluminium CNC servo arm (sold separately) for wing control.
  • Page 31 2. Find the control horn slots on bottom side the elevators, use the method described in 1.2-1.4 to install control horns for elevators. 3. Elevator horn slot is located on the left side of elevator. Remove covering over the hole for horizontal stabilizer on fuselage.
  • Page 32 5. Locate the slots for elevator servo, remove covering. Connect wire extension to your servos before feeding the wire into fuselage. Install servo with screws supplied by servo manufacturer. 6. Use your radio to set the servo center position and install the large control horn onto the servo. Assemble the control rod and ball links and adjust the control linkage for proper geometry.
  • Page 33 For 30CC version,Engine, Exhaust, & Fuel System Installation Engine Installation NOTE: There are pictures of different planes in this manual, however, this plane’s engine is assembled the same way. 1. Select the correct guide for your engine and drill the holes and cut out the center as indicated. Notice that the engine center line is offset to the left to compensate for the right thrust built into the engine box.
  • Page 34 3. Mount the ignition module according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The best place to mount it is on the side of the engine box. Secure the pickup lead and ignition wires with zip ties so that they do not vibrate or touch any hot part of the engine or exhaust.
  • Page 35 4. 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 28cc-38cc 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 36 Installation of KUZA Fuel Dot and Fuel Vent Line Plug (Not 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 37 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.
  • Page 38 3. Installation of KUZA CNC Aluminum Fuel Vent Line Plug 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. 120E Electric version Motor Installation 1.
  • Page 39 2.Blind nuts are pre-installed behind the firewall. Since the position of cowl is fixed and length of motors varies, you may need to use provided washers to position you motor properly. 3. Fix the battery with both Velcro and straps.
  • Page 40: Cowling Installation

    COWLING INSTALLATION NOTE: There are pictures of different planes in this manual, however, this plane’s cowling is assembled the same way. 1. The cowl is secured with four 3 X 14mm bolts and washers.Apply nutlock onto the bolts as the vibration from the gas engine will shake them come loose.
  • Page 41 FINAL RADIO SYSTEM INSTALLATION Whether you use 72 MHz systems or the newer 2.4 GHz systems, correct radio installation and care is vital to the safe and reliable operation of your aircraft. Follow the manufacturer’s instruction for installation guidance of receivers and batteries paying attention to factors such as vibration isolation, adequate cooling, and clearances.
  • 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 108-126mm(4.25-5 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 Then install pull-pull ball links on control horns. Hook up the tail wheel spring. 3.Installation of stab Also the stab is removable for convenience in transportation, Attach elevators with 3x12mm Hex-head bolts and 10mm PTFE washers. Check these after every flight.
  • Page 44 4. 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.Side force generators Assembly. Cut the wing film needed to be install the SFG. Fixed the SFG Use M3X18 hand bolts and balsa sheets. Installation of the SFG is optional. 6. 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.
