Note: ESC #2 is if you want Rudder operation (
). OR you can use a V-Tail mixer if
details later
you don't have a mixing computer radio (
).
See Diagrams on page 10
6. Once everything is marked out,
take a sharp hobby knife and cut
around the outlines you just made
(
only cut as deep as the part you are
). Once that is
going to recess
finished take a Dremel tool or
other means to remove just
enough foam for your radio gear to
sit flush with the surface of the
wing. Temporarily mount all radio
gear to make sure everything fits
snug. Once you are sure of the fit,
remove gear. Mix a little 5 minute
epoxy and paint it in the servo
holes. This helps the servo tape
to stick.
7. Lightly mist the whole wing with 3M 77 spray. Let the wing dry for about 20 minutes.
8. Now permanently install the radio gear making sure that your servos are centered and that
the servos move in the right direction for elevon operation. To do this make sure the left
aileron makes the left elevon move up and the right elevon move down, right aileron makes
the right elevon move up and the left elevon move down, up elevator makes both elevons
move up and down elevator makes both elevons move down. Also make sure your rudder
works the way it should, details below. Take the Xacto and slice a shallow line in the wing
from the receiver to the tip of the wing. Bury the antenna in the slice using your nail. Just
work slowly as it is a little tedious. Leave the excess antenna dangle at the tip of the wing for
now.
9. You will have to cut a small
piece of EPP away from the back
of the motor mount so that your
motor can fit into the mount. Use
your motor as a guide to cut a
small piece at a time until your
motor fits snugly between the EPP
when inserted fully into the mount.
