Page 4: Control System Configuration
Control System Configuration You will need a transmitter which has the capability to change servo direction. Most modern transmitters have this function in a menu on the transmitter. Glues This kit requires foam glue and Epoxy glue. * Use foam glue to glue all foam parts together. * Use Epoxy glue for gluing the motor in place. - Page 5 Cut the vertical stabilizer from this side as shown here. It will be hinged on the upper surface side (right hand side) and this is the side the control horn will attach too as well. Undercut the tail surface as shown here as well with the control horn slot on the left-hand side.
- Page 6 After sanding, glue the control horns in place. Right hand side Make note of which side is left and right. The left side has a cut-out for a receiver. The right side has a cut out for a battery. Left hand side Glue the wooden servo mount in place in the central fuselage piece and make sure it is centered in the foam sheet.
- Page 7 Attach the undercarriage as shown here. Glue it in place with Epoxy glue and ensure it is level. This MicronWings version of the J3 Cub uses a wing support rod, so cut this part off the wing mount. Glue the wing mount in place with Epoxy glue and make sure it is square with the airframe sides.
- Page 8 While the airframe and wheels are drying, it’s a good chance to connect up all your electronics and check everything works properly. Check all your trims and mixing on your transmitter are set these to neutral. If using the recommended receiver, connect the red and black battery wires as shown here.
- Page 9 Glue the motor in place with Epoxy glue. Feed one motor wire through the hole in the right hand side of the fuselage to the left hand side where both the wires will run down to the receiver. Give the motor a slight amount of right thrust as shown here.
- Page 10 Mount the receiver and connect the servos. Power up the RC system and check your transmitter trims are centered. Then check servo travel direction and reverse if needed. Note: If you prefer to fly with ailerons instead of rudder, you can plug the rudder servo into the aileron port on the receiver.
- Page 11 Attach the control linkages to the control horns. * Remove the tape holding the control surfaces before powering on your system and testing your control surface movement. You will most likely need to dial down the throws on your control surfaces. Use your transmitter’s settings to reduce the travel movement of the servos.
- Page 12 Cut a piece of heat shrink 20mm long and use it to join the two carbon wing braces. Bend at an angle to check that the piece of heat shrink is centered. For this joint don’t use any glue. This is what the joint should look like after shrinking the heat shrink.
- Page 13 Attach decals as shown here. Mount the battery and check your balance point. It should be about 20mm from the leading edge of the wings. 20mm Your finished aircraft should look very similar to this. If it doesn’t, read back over the steps on the previous pages.
