Make sure that you manually extend the spring loaded oleos fully. If they bind a little and
stop moving before they reach their end point, some white grease from a spray can will
help the oleos to ease up. Don't keep the cutouts in the wing skin too tight, allow
sufficient clearance of a few mm around the wheel and strut.
Finally screw the gear in with the included self tapping screws. These do represent a fully
sufficient fixture of the gear in the aircraft grade Finnish birch plywood mounts and make
the process super easy.
The above steps are done for you if you purchase the ARF-Plus service.
Install the flap servo from the root. Use a slightly longer screw driver to screw it in. Use
ONLY the servo screws we provide in the hardware bag because our production process
can only pre-drill the holes dia. 2mm. Therefore a 2.9mm self tapping screw must be used
and the regular servo screws often are smaller in diameter!
Install the linkage with the all thread piece, 2 stainless spring steel clevises and counter
nuts. If the hole in the flap spar for the linkage needs to be adjusted, do so carefully and
only as much as necessary.
Install the aileron servo into the side mount in the wing.
The common 15 mm servos, such as a SAVOX 1260HV or a MacGregor 2810HV will
fit the HOT, the common 20 mm servos such as SAVOX 1270 or MacGregor 6928 will
fit the Classic 2m.
It is important to use a drop of silicone on the servo surface to avoid it to slide ever so
slightly in the mount, causing inconvenient trim issues in flight.
Make up the linkage like the one of the flap.
Slide the wings on the fuselage and check that the wing tube fits correctly. Mark the holes
for the gear, brake and servo wires and install one or two pairs of connectors of your
choice. Solder or crimp as needed. You need a 10 pin connection per wing.
2) Stab
Install the elevator servos exactly like you did the flap servos and create the linkages.
Install the rudder servo in the fin exactly like you did the aileron servos and create the
linkage.
Slide stabs on and check that the stab tube with its fixing bolts fits and matches.
3) Fuselage
First install the nose gear. Trial fit, cycle it with the separate battery as you did with the
main gear. Then trim the cutout, if necessary, and permanently screw the landing gear in
place using 4 of the self tapping screws included in the hardware bag.
