Servo 5320 Black SH 40C. Australian customers can purchase these from MicronWings 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. -
Page 4: Build Instructions
Build Instructions Cut the parts from the Depron sheets and cut out any pieces from the airframe which need to be removed such as the circle holes, receiver and battery bay cutouts and so on. The following control surfaces need to have a bevel cut into one edge. - Page 5 At this time connect up all your electronics and check everything works properly. Check all your trims and mixing on you transmitter are set these to neutral. Glue the left hand side in place. Spread the glue out well and at first just gently lay the left hand side sheet on the middle piece.
- Page 6 Use Blenderm hinge tape to attach all the control surfaces – rudder, elevator and ailerons. For the rudder, only apply hinge tape to the top and bottom of the surface. Later a sticker will be attached which will also act as a hinge. Glue the horizontal stabilizer in place.
- Page 7 At this stage you should attach the fuselage stickers. It is easier to attach them now before the radio gear is mounted. Note that the stickers add 2.9 grams to the weight of the aircraft. It will fly just fine with the stickers attached, but you may choose to decorate with felt markers instead.
- Page 8 If using the recommended receiver from MicronWings, confirm the motor wire arrangement shown in this image. The black motor wire is closest to the edge of the receiver and the white wire is on the inner side of the receiver.
- Page 9 Insert the carbon wing brace (the longest piece of carbon rod in the kit), through the fuselage where the V shape half cut is. Glue it into the gap in the wing using foam glue and wipe off any excess glue. Set the carbon rod so it is 5mm from the wing tip.
- Page 10 Glue in place all the control horns. Note that the elevator horn is glued to the under side of the surface. Mount the elevator servo. The servo arm is on the left hand side of the fuselage and faces down as shown here. Bring the servo wire through to the left side of the airframe as well.
- Page 11 Flatten the servo wires against the fuselage and tape them down with some hinge tape. The wires run down through the hole in the wing. Plug in the servos. You may need to use a pair of tweezers to connect the rudder servo plug to the receiver at the front.
- Page 12 If there is, adjust the servo travel on your transmitter. MicronWings recommends the following maximum control surface deflections. Use the programming options on your transmitter to limit the maximum travel amounts.
