  • Page 4: Assembly

    Assembly The Tower DHC-2 Beaver may be assembled with either the conventional landing gear or the included floats. If installing the conventional landing gear, complete the following two steps, then skip ahead to the Horizontal Tail Installation section. If installing the floats, skip ahead to the Floats Installation section. Landing Gear Installation 1.
  • Page 5 Floats Installation 1. Connect the floats to each other with the horizontal struts and four M2.5x20 machine-thread screws. 2. Use eight M2.5x8 screws to fasten the braces to the floats, matching the labels printed or molded into the end of each brace to the mount location on each float.
  • Page 6 3. Fasten the float braces to the fuselage with one M3x16mm screw and two M2.5x8mm screws in each side of the fuselage. No screw is installed in the third strut at this time. 4. Connect a small rubber band to the inner side of each float and water rudder as shown.
  • Page 7 Horizontal Stabilizer Installation 1. Fasten the fins to each end of the horizontal stabilizer (stab) with M2x6 screws. 2. Connect the elevator pushrod to the bottom hole in the elevator horn as shown. 3. Rotate the stab upward and key it into the fuselage.
  • Page 8 Vertical Stabilizer Installation 1. Key the rudder torque rod down into the receptacle while fitting the vertical stabilizer (fin) into the fuselage. Tightly press the assembly down into position. 2. Secure the horizontal and vertical stabilizers with the M3x22 screw.
  • Page 9 Wing Installation 1. Fasten the wing clips to both sides of the fuselage with four M3x10 screws. 2. Guide the wires from the right wing into the fuselage, then slide the wing joiner tube and the flap pushrod wire through the corresponding holes.

  • Page 12 Connect the Rudder and Elevator 1. Power on the transmitter, fully lower the throttle stick, and center the trims. 2. Connect the battery to the ESC. TIP: A magnetic screwdriver, or a small magnet stuck to a screw driver to make it magnetic, will be helpful for the next couple of steps.
  • Page 13 6. Repeat the same procedure for the rudder, making sure it is centered. Lock the pushrod in place on the servo arm with the screw and threadlocker. 7. Disconnect the battery and power off the transmitter. Connect the Lights, Flaps, and Ailerons 1.
