The two holes should be ½-inch in from TAIL ASSEMBLY Install the stabilizer hold down plate with epoxy. the hinge line, 3 ½-inches apart and 2 ½-inches Center it carefully and allow to cure. down from the fin top. This will place them in the center of the horizontal support in the fin.
  • Page 4 Using a sharp razor knife, carefully slice through the covering on the top of the stabilizer about ¼- inch inside the lines. Try not to slice into the wood, as this would weaken the structure. Peel away the covering. Cover the stabilizer-mating surface with a thin layer of epoxy.
  • Page 5 Install the two stabilizer lock down screws with knurled nuts. Bend the flying wire mounts to 45- degrees and install as shown. Install the flying wire bracket on the fuselage bottom. The bracket should be 5 ½-inches forward If the removable stabilizer option is used cover the top of the stabilizer with wax paper before proceeding.
  • Page 6: Motor Instalation

    Install the upper flying wires. Once again only LANDING GEAR make them tight enough to eliminate all endplay. No knurl nuts are used on the top wires. Slide the axle through the deep offset in the wheel, Install the wheel spacer followed by the regular MOTOR INSTALATION nut.

  • Page 8 powerful servos have a higher power consumption rate than standard servos, for this reason it is important the battery selected be capable of supplying the required amperage. In the prototype we used we used the HITEC #57404 1100ma. The switch harness must also be of the heavy-duty type; a lightweight switch may overheat and fail under high loads.
  • Page 9 others like to use a clevis. Use the system you are most comfortable with. Remove the covering from the exit slots in the servo bay doors. Mount the elevator servos on the servo bay doors. Pre drill the screw holes to prevent the rails from splitting.
  • Page 10: Control Rods

    Repeat the procedure with the wing servos. Pre CONTROL RODS drill the servo screw holes and open the control Using a control horn back plate, line up the edge horn slot. with the top of the elevator bevel 5/8-inch out from the inside corner of the elevator.

  • Page 13: Final Assembly

    make large changes in stability. For your first flights we recommend using a balance point at the forward end of the center of gravity {C.G.} range, this location will provide the most stability. As your comfort and skill increase slowly move the C.G. aft to increase the control response.

    correct the aileron trim after this procedure}. MOTOR SET UP Continue to fly and trim until the aircraft is Be sure the motor is properly broken in using the tracking well, land before the fuel runs out. Carry a manufacture instructions. Set the throttle throw to little power on final approach until over the end of shut the motor off when the trim is pulled down the runway, then cut power to idle, hold the plane...
  • Page 15 Roll inverted, neutral elevator to two clicks of down trim, if the model descends move the C.G. aft. If the model climbs move the C.G. forward. C.G. movement should be no more than ¼-inch at a time. Engine Thrust Angle Right/Left: On a low pass 50% power directly into the wind, go to 80% power and pull to a vertical line at the same time.
