- Page 3 Step 1: Rudder servo The correct location for the rudder servo is shown below: Rudder servo Begin by attaching a servo horn and an extension wire of adequate length (between 70cm and 1m) to the rudder servo. Make sure the servos are centered (use your radio) before attaching the servo horns as this will be difficult to rectify later! Next, test fit the servo in its slot (note, servo thickness must be less than 15mm).
- Page 4 Note the correct position and orientation of the servo horns is shown below. Finally, install a push rod and clevis between the servo and rudder control horns to complete this step. The pushrod may have to be cut to the desired length. Take care when cutting these.
- Page 5 Next, locate the servo door covers. These will be attached like so: Before they can be installed, cut out a small slot as before. Again, note that the full range of the servo must be accommodated. Attach using screws or 5 min epoxy. Step 4: Installing the horizontal stabilizer.
- Page 6 Locator CF rod Next, install both tail surfaces. Do not glue them at this point, simply line them up. Ensure that they are the correct orientation (red side up in this case) and that they are in line with one another. It is reccommended to remove the elevator surfaces at this point to prevent them being glued.
- Page 7 Step 6: Installing aileron and flap servos First, centre servos, install servo horns and attach servo extension wires (30cm for flaps, 50cm for ailerons). The procedure for installing both aileron and flap servos into the wings is slightly different than before so care must be paid. First locate the four gray servo covers and as before, cut a slot in the covering film in each.
- Page 8 Next, take the two aileron servos and covers, and feed the extension wires through the slot between the aileron and flap compartments. Make sure you are choosing the correct servo and cover to install, refer to the next image or guidance. This may prove tricky and some sort of wire will be helpful.
- Page 9 Step 7: Control surface, horn and clevis attachment Control surfaces and horns should be attached exactly as before. Use CA glue to hold the surfaces in place and screws for the control horns. Don’t forget to line up the control horns with the servos just installed and to drill 2mm pilot holes for the screws before attachment! Finish off by installing clevises and pushrods.
- Page 10 hole in the fuselage that will allow the servo wires to pass through freely. (Hint, distance between edge of fibreglass spar and centre of hole is 35mm. Also, a 10mm hole should be adequate). Next, locate the two fibreglass spars and four locator pins, identical to those used for the tail and slide them into position.
- Page 11 Provided in you kit are four 25x15x10mm balsa blocks. Begin the installation procedure by attaching two of these as shown below to the EDF housing. Drill first and attach with screws. Repeat for both sides.
- Page 12 Next, apply 30 minute epoxy to the faces of the blocks and install as shown below. It may be a good idea to test fit this arrangement before gluing. Note: do not glue the plastic housing to anything, at least not at this point! Before allowing the glue to set, make sure that the fan is orientated such that its line...
- Page 13 of thrust is exactly in line with the body of the aircraft. “Down and right” thrust does not apply when the motor is positioned near the CG of the aircraft! After this glue has fully set, remove the four screws and the EDF unit. Attach the remaining two blocks as shown in the image below using 30 minute epoxy.
- Page 14 50mm 15mm 30mm 500mm 260mm 310mm Roll up this sheet and install in the aircraft as below. You can use strong tape to hold the shroud in position at this end.
- Page 15 If you measured correctly, there should be a little bit of shroud exposed at the rear of the aircraft. Glue this to the fuselage using 5 minute epoxy or perhaps strong CA and trim.
- Page 16 Step 11: Main wing landing gear If you intend to use the provided non-retractable landing gear, first begin by cutting out the correct shape from the covering film in the main wing as shown below. Next, install the metal struts in the fixed landing gear attachment. These are generally attached in such a manner that the bar to which the wheels will slide onto points inwards, towards the fuselage.
- Page 17 Install this arrangement in the nose of the aircraft using screws. Also install a servo, pushrods and clevises as shown below.
- Page 18 Step 13: Battery and electronics instillation. First, glue the wooden plate in position as shown below: Batteries and electronics should be placed in this location. These should be secured using velcro. Step 14: CG adjustment Position the battery such that the CG is within 5mm of the position shown below. 145.9mm...
- Page 19 Step 15: Finishing touches Finally, install the entry duct “splitter” for realistic Mig-15 looks and go flying! Attention! Assistance from experienced pilot is necessary for beginners. Pre-flight adjustment and trimming must be done before flying. Check all linkages, nuts, servo horns, linkage nuts and screws are tightened. Make sure thread lockers are applied.
