Assemble The Wing - GREAT PLANES Seawind EP Instruction Manual

screw-lock pushrod connector to the arm and secure it with
a small, black retainer. Thread one of the small machine-
thread screws that came with this kit into the connector.
Use this photo to hook up the elevator and rudder servos.
❏
4. Slip the elevator pushrod into the connector on the
servo arm. Then mount the servo arm to the elevator servo
and secure it with the screw that came with the servo.
❏
5. With the system "on," center the elevator and tighten
the retaining screw on the screw-lock pushrod connector
with a drop of threadlocker.
❏
6. Connect the rudder pushrod the same way–don't forget
to use threadlocker on the retaining screw in the screw-lock
pushrod connector and don't forget to install the screw that
holds on the servo arm.
❏
7. Operate the controls on the transmitter to make sure the
elevator, rudder and motor respond in the correct direction.
(It will probably be necessary to reverse the throttle direction
in the transmitter.) Also make sure the servo arms don't
interfere with the ESC or the mounting strap. If necessary,
cut off the unused servo arms or adjust the position of the
ESC and the strap. You may double-check and set the control
throws now, or wait until you get to the "Set the Control
Throws" section on page 12.
❏
8. Cut off the excess pushrod wire, but leave approximately
1/4" [5mm to 6mm] protruding from the screw-lock pushrod
connectors in case small adjustments will ever be required
later on.

Assemble the Wing

❏
1. Use a brass tube sharpened on the end or a hobby knife
to cut a hole in the bottom of the wing where shown for the
aileron servo wire. Use one of the aileron pushrod wires with
the 90° bend on the end to pull the servo wire up through.
Refer to this photo while hooking up the ailerons.
❏
2. The same as you mounted the rudder and elevator
servos in the fuse, mount the aileron servo in the wing–only
this time use a drill no larger than a #58 (.042") [1.07mm] for
the servo screw mounting holes. If you don't have the right
drill you could use the tip of a #11 blade to make the holes
instead. If you do accidentally oversize the holes, they may
be fi lled with medium CA and redrilled.
❏
3. Same as when hooking up the elevator and rudder
servos, and with the propeller off the motor, connect the
aileron servo to the extension coming from the receiver and
turn the system on. Make sure the aileron trim is centered
and place the servo arm on the servo so it will be 90-degrees.
Mount the two remaining screw-lock pushrod connectors to
the servo arm–only this time mount them 5/16" [8mm] from
the center of the arm to achieve the correct throw.
