    SECTION 5 COVERING MATERIAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your Paramount 61 3D is covered with a high quality iron-on film, just like what you would use on indi- vidually built R/C models. The covering is applied and shrunk tightly at the factory, however because of changes in temperature is it possible that some wrinkles may re-appear.

  • Page 7: Section 6 - Assembly Sequence

    SECTION 6: ASSEMBLING THE PARAMOUNT 61 3D Step 1: Install Aileron Horns Locate the 2 small gray control horns. Using the control horns as a guide, mark the location of the screw holes on each ai- leron, so that the horn will be directly behind the outboard edge of the servo opening, and the row of holes in the horn as close to the front of the aileron as possible.
  • Page 8 Step 4: Install Aileron Servos Prepare your aileron servo using the rubber grommets and eye- lets provided with your equipment. Remove the covering over the aileron servo mount holes in the wing panels, using a sharp blade hobby knife. Tie the end of the lengthened servo wire to the provided pull-string, and pull the wire inside the wing and out the access hole near the center of the wing.
  • Page 9 Step 6: Join Wing Panels Tape the aileron servo wires to the wings out of the way so they will not interfere with the wings being joined. Test fit the wing panels together, with the plywood wing joiner installed. If nec- essary, remove material from the edges or ends of the wing joiner so the panels fit together perfectly.
  • Page 10 Step 9: Glue Rudder Hinges Locate the two metal rudder hinges. Carefully enlarge the slots in the rudder and the rear fuselage if necessary to allow the hinges to be inserted and removed. Test fit the rudder and hinges to the fuselage, and verify the rudder can be moved easily without binding.
  • Page 11 Step 11: Attach Tailwheel Bracket Swing the tailwheel bracket around until it is sitting on the flat mounting area on the bottom of the sub-dorsal fin. Using the holes in the bracket as a guide, drill two 3/64” diameter holes into the sub-dorsal fin.
  • Page 12 Step 14: Glue Stabilizer to Fuselage Note: Remember the top of the stabilizer is red and the bottom is blue! Mix up a batch of 5 Minute Epoxy, and apply a medium thick- ness film to the exposed wood at the center (top and bottom) of the stabilizer.
  • Page 13 Step 17: Install Servos in Tray Locate the plywood servo tray, your servos, and mounting hardware. Install the rubber grommets and brass eyelets pro- vided with your servos. If necessary, enlarge the holes in the servo tray to fit your servos. Place the servos in position as shown.
  • Page 14 Step 20: Rudder Pull-Pull Cable Note: On the pull-pull rudder system, the distance between the cable holes used on the servo arm and the servo center, and the distance between the rudder hinge line and the holes in each rudder horn connector must be exactly equal. Locate the pull-pull cable, aluminum crimp connectors, and threaded cable connectors.
  • Page 15 Step 21: Cut Elevator Pushrod Exits Using the same technique as you did with the rudder cable ex- its, cut the two elevator pushrod exits as shown. The rear of the exit is 7 1/2” in front of the rear edge of the fuselage, the front of the exit is 2”...
  • Page 16 Step 24: Hook Up Elevator Pushrod Thread a plastic clevis halfway onto each threaded end of the elevator pushrod. Clip the clevises onto the elevator horn con- nectors. Adjust one or both clevises so both elevator halves are even with each other. Verify again that you can hold the for- ward wire portion of the elevator pushrod, and move the eleva- tors easily without interference.
  • Page 17 Step 26: Install Engine Mounts Note: The firewall is angled slightly to provide the correct thrust line, and the fiberglass cowl is shaped to match the fuselage and the engine at this “right-thrust” angle. Holding the fuselage vertically, set the engine/engine mounts assembly on the firewall, and slide the fiberglass engine cowl into place.
  • Page 18 Step 28: Install Engine on Mounts Note: We recommend that you complete the new engine break-in procedure before installing the engine on the model or before the first flight. Test fit your engine on the mounts again, and put the cowl into position.
  • Page 19 Step 30: Hook Up Throttle Pushrod Slide the inner throttle pushrod wire into place, with the Z- Bend sticking out at the firewall exit. Make any bends neces- sary for the Z-Bend to reach the carburetor throttle control arm with no resistance or interference. (Due to the angle that the tube goes through the fuselage, for standard type engines it is likely that a 15-20 degree bend in the wire, about one inch be- hind the Z-Bend will provide friction free operation)
  • Page 20 Step 32: Install Engine Cowl Mark on each side of the fuselage, exactly 1 ” behind the face of the firewall as shown. The upper marks should be directly behind the top edge of the engine bearers, and the lower marks should be behind the lower edges of the engine bearers.
  • Page 21 Step 34: Assemble Fuel Tank Assemble the fuel tank front fitting together, with two metal tubes through the rubber stopper and the front/rear metal plates. Install the provided screw to tighten the fitting lightly, and test fit into the tank. Bend the upper tube so it will be positioned at the very top forward corner of the tank with the fitting installed.
  • Page 22 Step 36: Assemble Landing Gear Locate the aluminum landing gear, wheel pants, axle bolts, axle retainer nuts, the wheels, wheel pants, wheel collars, and set screws. Cut a slot in each fiberglass wheel pant from the large axle bolt hole to the bottom edge of the wheel open- ing.
  • Page 23 Step 38: Install Radio Components Hook up your radio equipment, connect the servos, on-off switch, and unwrap the receiver antenna. Wrap your receiver and battery in two layers of protective foam such as Du-Bro #315, and tape together securely. Place the receiver and bat- tery in the radio compartment as shown, and tape in place tem- porarily.
  • Page 24 Step 41: Wing Bolt Reinforcement and Lower Wing Fairing Assemble the wing onto the fuselage with the wing bolts finger- tight. Place the large lower wing/fuselage fairing into position. Mark the wing at the edges of the fairing with a felt tip pen. Us- ing a very sharp, new hobby knife blade, cut through the cover- ing film just inside these lines, and remove the covering on the lower center section of the wing.

  • Page 26: Section 9 Pre-Flight Safety Checks

    For maximum enjoyment, we strongly recommend having an experienced R/C modeler inspect your Paramount 61 3D for safety and proper function before you go out to the flying field the first time. Before flight, make absolutely certain to have your radio batteries fully charged, and perform a “range check” to verify proper radio range.
