Lighter always flies better!!!!
The aileron wing for the Pelican is a great variation of an old favorite. With the 2812 motor is a nimble and
exciting plane to fly. You can build it light for slow and stable flight or put a more powerful motor and
bigger battery on it for aerobatic flight with more throw on the flight surfaces. Watch the Pelican Build
Videos at our website at Crashtesthobby.com to clarify any of the instructions.

- Page 2 The ailerons are already precut into the wing core. Fold up the ailerons and flex the wing to loosen up the hinges. Cut a spar slit, with a new razor blade, on the top of the wing for the flat carbon spar. This slit should be the same distance back as the precut slot already in the wing.
- Page 3 Install the servos on the bottom of the wing. The servos work the best if installed near the center of the wing panels. Keep the servo and servo wires in front of the spar to help with CG. See how long your servo extensions are before deciding on where to put your servos.
- Page 4 Before gluing the servos in place with a low temperature glue gun, bind them to the radio and center the servo arms on the servo. Drill out the third hole in the servo with a 1/16" bit to be big enough for the push rod. Don't glue the servo extension wires in except for where they exit the wing in the middle where they will be plugged into a Y connector that plugs in the receiver.
- Page 5 Drill the top hole in the horn with a 1/16" bit. Install the EZ connectors. Trim the push rod to length. Cut the aileron 1.75" from each side of the middle to make a gap for the rubber bands to hold the wing on the fuselage.
- Page 6 Make a hole at the exit point for the servo wires to exit the wing. Glue the nylon protectors on the front and back of the wing with a low temperature glue gun to prevent the rubber bands from tearing the wing. Bind your radio and center your servos.
