The English Manual for Skywing’s 48-inch Scale MXS Thank you for choosing this plane that we have produced. In order to enjoy the flight of this plane safely, please read this manual carefully before building yours. Please check if there is any part missing before you start to build this plane. We suggest that you use a small container to hold all the little parts so that you don’t lose any of them when building the plane.

First, install all the control horns .1) Use just enough CA to hold the horn in position. Too much CA will run to and damage the EPS foam underneath. .2) Apply hot glue liberally to make the horn strong.
Build the wing. .1) Glue the wing root pieces with CA. During the process, you can use a ruler to get good alignment. .2) Connect the ailerons to the wing halves with hinges and allow the ailerons to have maximum throw. .3) Then apply CA.
.4) Find the two hooks in your kit and screw them into the pre-drilled holes in the wing halves and apply a bit CA. .5) Install aileron servos with the screws that came with them. Build the fuselage .1) You can install a 3548 motor directly onto the motor cage. To install a 3542 motor, use the included adapter.

.2) It’s easier to mount the motor to the motor cage first and then glue the motor cage to the fuselage than the other way around. .3) Install servos in the fuselage.

Install the stabilizers Important: Insert the elevator upside-down into the fuselage and flip it around first. Then insert the horizontal stabilizer. .2) Glue hinges with CA, making sure the gap between the elevator and the stabilizer is even and proper. .3)Check the horizontal tail aligns properly in relation to the wing and the fuselage before applying CA to join the horizontal stabilizer and the fuselage.

.4)Connect the rudder with CA. Install the Landing Gear and the Tail gear .1) Cut open the EPP skin to mount the landing gear underneath with the supplied metal screws. Then put on the landing gear sleeves.

.2) The hole of the plastic needle, which is a part of the tail gear component, needs to be enlarged to accept the tail gear arm. Put on the wheel pants .1) Put on the wheel pants on wheels before mounting the wheels onto the landing gear. .2) You can make the two wheel pants positioned consistently to each other with a ruler.

Install all the servo arms .1) Secure the servo arm extensions on the original servo arms with screws that came with the extensions. .2) Put on the adjustable connectors. .3) Make linkages to all control surfaces.

.4) Squeeze the aluminum collets firmly to lock the pull-pull wire. .5) Install the ball links on the control surface horns. Now, it’s time to power on the electronics and install all the push rods and the pull-pull wires. .1) Make the pull-pull wires cross each other.

.2)Squeeze the aluminum collets with a pair of pliers. .3) Lock the push rods for the elevator and the ailerons, and then power off. .4) Trim off extraneous parts of all the push rods with a pair of pliers.

Install the cowl and the spinner .1) Take out the supporting core of the engine cowl. Hook the cowl onto the fuselage. .2) Put on the spinner. Now the build is almost done. .1) Secure the wing with the supplied rubber bands. Stick the supplied Velcro in the battery compartment.

.2) Advanced pilots can choose to glue the supplied carbon strips to the trailing edges of all the control surfaces to increase their authority. Get CG in the right position...
Page 14
.1) When adjusting CG position, remember to put everything that will be in flight on the plane. .2) The recommended starting CG position is 110 mm from the leading edge of the wing. .3) You can alter the CG position by altering the battery size and the battery position. .4) Find the optimal CG position to suit your flying style through flying the plane.
