PINO E - Building Instruction July 2017 4. WING 4.1 Controlling flaps and ailerons Fixing the servos First of all, prepare the surfaces which will be glued. Grind them with a rough paper (about 80-40 grain size). www.pcm.at...

Verify the free movement of all the parts. It will be necessary, that you optimize the lever connector as shown in the pictures besides. It has to be done in different ways for the flaps and for the ailerons. Flap servo Aileron servo www.pcm.at...

You can use runny super glue to fix the levers. This kind of bonding will be strong enough for the forces occurring. Cable mounting: Mill a hole into the preformed space for the contacts. Make the hole big enough, so that the contacts will not touch the carbon. www.pcm.at...

Anyone who is afraid that this work can not be carried out adequately, should use usual plug connections. If the spring contacts are installed incorrectly, the model may be totally lost. Now you can stick the seals over the gaps. www.pcm.at...
PINO E - Building Instruction July 2017 5. FUSELAGE – electric version 5.1 Servoboard All necessary holes are already pre-milled. CNC milled wood parts are included in the kit for mounting the KST X08 V3. Set the parts together with toothpicks. www.pcm.at...

The lever lengths are: Elevator: 10mm (big KST servo lever 2 hole) Rudder: 8mm (cross shaped KST servo lever 2 hole) Use the KST levers which are nearer to the servo. So you gain more space. www.pcm.at...

Then put the servoboard into the fuselage. Connect the horns to the pushrods and set everything to zero (servos and control surfaces). Then press the board down to glue it well to the bottom. Zero position of the elevator is 77mm. www.pcm.at...
Grind a 45° angle to the edges of the motor mounting and put it 1mm deeper into the fuselage to get a bigger gluing area. At the moment we recommend the Powerline Pro Set from Schambeck. www.pcm.at...
Then put a little bit 5 minute epoxy with cotton flocks around the contacts. So you insulate and strengthen the soldered parts. The rest of the contacts have to be insulated extra. www.pcm.at...
There is a plywood part in the skin of the fuselage, so that you can drill holes into the fuselage to position your hook. We recommend to start with a position of about 2cm in front of the CG. www.pcm.at...
When you fly with this setting, you have to take care that you don`t overload the wing structure. So use the elevator softly, when you fly with that much ballast. Remember also that the landings have to be much softer with such an additional weight. www.pcm.at...
After every ungentle landing, you must check your model for possible damage, such as: Is the radio board still glued thoroughly? Did the leading edge of the wing burst open? Did rudder or elevator get damaged? www.pcm.at...
