AILERON SERVOS
Install a small draw wire through the wing section very carefully ensuring you do not catch any ribs and draw the
servo cable through the wing section to the exit point in the centre of the wing. Install the servo so the output arm is
to the
outer edge
of the wing and screw into position.
provided will not fit.
your servo in the neutral position clip the pushrod onto the servo arm. You can now use this to align the position of
your aileron control horns on the aileron over the strengthening points. Once the position has been found,
ensuring the clevis attachment point on the horn is positioned over the hinge line secure into position by drilling
and bolting the control horn and backing plate together. Repeat procedure on other aileron.
RUDDER
The rudder utilizes a closed loop control system. Slide the tailwheel bracket into the fin post to ensure that it aligns
with the rudder. When you are happy insert the tailwheel bracket and cyano into position. Align the rudder to the
fin. Mark and drill the rudder to accept the steering rod of the tailwheel. Insert the hinges into the rudder into the
pre-cut holes and repeat procedure as per ailerons. Run some slow cyano on the tailwheel steering rod while
assembling rudder to fin. Attach control horns into position on the rudder so that when the closed loop wires exit
the fuselage they do not run at an acute angle so as to lessen any binding but also with clearance for full up elevator
. Attach control horns on both sides of the rudder over the strengthened area and bolt into position ensuring correct
alignment over the hinge line. Please note that the rudder horns are better fitted after the stabiliser is fitted.
TAILPLANE
Insert the tailplane into the fuselage slot ensuring correct alignment. When happy mark out the joining points with
a pen and remove tailplane. Using a very sharp knife remove film, ensuring you do not cut into the wood, to make
a good balsa to balsa glue joint. Reinstall tailplane and using thin cyano glue into position.
ELEVATOR
The elevator utilizes a closed loop control system. Attach
elevator to tailplane as per ailerons using the hinges provided.
Once installed attach the control horns to the elevator using the
same method as per rudder.
Take the two aileron pushrods supplied and attach clevises to the threaded ends. With
Film cut away
