PINO 3.0 E Building Instruction August 2018 DATA 1. Kit – contents Fuselage + canopy Wing Elevator Lever for controlling ailerons, 2 pc. Lever for controlling flaps, 2 pc. Bowden pushrods for Elevator and Rudder 2 pc. M2.5 screw rod for controlling ailerons, 4 pc.
PINO 3.0 E Building Instruction August 2018 ASSEMBLING THE MODEL 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).

PINO 3.0 E Building Instruction August 2018 Then, set the servo to the zero position and screw it to the frame. The screwing is important, because if you screw the servo after gluing it into the wing, tension will occur and the surface of the wing will get wavy.

PINO 3.0 E Building Instruction August 2018 Prepare the parts for gluing the control levers into the wing. Grind all gluing surfaces, the slot of the control surfaces and the levers themselves. The bolt of the lever connector has sharp edges that are bigger than the bolt diameter.

PINO 3.0 E Building Instruction August 2018 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. We now use 2 pairs of contacts for a redundant connection.

PINO 3.0 E Building Instruction August 2018 Make sure that the contact fits easily into the free space, which is provided for the contact, without putting any force on the soldered areas. Before you fix the contact with a drop of runny super glue, check if all the servos work well.
PINO 3.0 E Building Instruction August 2018 5. FUSELAGE – electric version 5.1 Servoboard All necessary holes are already pre-milled. (Here a Pino 2.5m fuselage is shown. Some of the following pictures are taken from the Pino 2.5. The difference is very little)

PINO 3.0 E Building Instruction August 2018 Glue everything with super glue and then cut off the toothpicks. Mount the servos as shown in the picture. Lengthen the servo cables, so they reach the receiver comfortable. The lever lengths are:...

PINO 3.0 E Building Instruction August 2018 Now screw the narrow board to the bottom of the servoboard. In order to glue it into the fuselage, put a mixture of epoxy-cottonflocs just onto this narrow board. Then put the servoboard into the fuselage.
PINO 3.0 E Building Instruction August 2018 5.2 Electric drive Now glue the motor mounting into the fuselage. 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.
PINO 3.0 E Building Instruction August 2018 5.3 Contacts for flaps and ailerons Next, let’s finish the aileron and flap contacts for the fuselage. The cable length should be about 35cm. Pay attention that you solder the contacts in the same way as they are soldered in the wings.
PINO 3.0 E Building Instruction August 2018 5.4 Connection of V-Tail control surfaces and carbon joiners for fuselage connection Just set the servos and the control surfaces to zero and glue the lever connectors to the pushrods. The black teflon should be removed before gluing.
PINO 3.0 E Building Instruction August 2018 6. BALLAST Included in the kit: - 2x carbon rod - 2x steel rod The 2x long steel rods are just delivered if you ask for. You can use these rods as follows: 1x carbon rod for very weak conditions in the front hole.
PINO 3.0 E Building Instruction August 2018 OTHER 8. Check list before starting: 1. Check centre of gravity 2. Check control surfaces: Do control surfaces move in the correct direction? Check the greatest swings 3. Check reception 4. Check control surfaces before each flight.
