Completing The Radio Installation - Ripmax mini Bossanova Instruction Manual

STEP 25
Mix up sufficient 5 minute epoxy and glue the wing fairing in position
using tape to hold it in position as the glue cures. Ensure that the
fairing aligns correctly to the fuselage and that the glue does not
come into contact with the fuselage. Any excess epoxy can be wiped
from the model before it cures using methylated spirit or methanol.

COMPLETING THE RADIO INSTALLATION

STEP 26
Mount your rudder and elevator servos in place between the two servo bearers at
the rear of the fuselage's canopy opening. Note that both should be fitted with their
outputs towards the front of the model. Pilot drill the bearers and install the servos
using the screws supplied with your radio.
STEP 27
Trim the servos' output arms as shown, then locate the elevator and rudder pushrod
wire. Slide a nylon keeper on each wire, then form a 90° bend 5mm from the end.
Connect the pushrods to the servo output arms and slide the wires into their pre-
fitted tubes.
STEP 28
Fit a pushrod connector to the rudder and elevator control horns.
Aligning each with their hinge lines, pilot drill and cyano them in place
- looking from the rear, the rudder horn is fitted on the left hand side
of the rudder and the elevator horn is fitted on the underside of
the right hand elevator. With the servos centred and the rudder and
elevator level, tighten the pushrod connectors' screws.
STEP 29
To complete the radio installation, mount your receiver to the rear of the balsa radio
tray then connect and mount your ESC to the fuselage side next to the receiver. Use
double sided foam tape or velcro for each. If using a switch, mount it in the radio
bay too. Drill a small hole in the rear fuselage deck behind the canopy for your aerial
to exit. Fix the free end of the aerial to the fin using tape, a band or pass through a
drilled hole.
STEP 30
Temporarily slide your Li-Po battery in position in front of the receiver. Dense foam
receiver packing can be used to retain it place once the balance point has been
checked. To complete the model, fit the canopy by inserting its locating dowel in the
pre-drilled bulkhead then lowering into place until the pre-fitted magnet snaps it
closed. Simply lift up the rear of the canopy and slide backwards to remove.
