Install the Wings and Struts

❏
1. If you have installed aileron servos in the top wing, trim
the covering from the holes in the sheeting just aft of the rear
cabane strut mounting points.
❏
2. Attach the cabane struts to the top wing as shown
with two 4-40 x 1/2" [13mm] SHCS, two #4 fl at washers and
thread locking compound.
❏
3. Route 12" [305mm] servo leads through the holes that
you trimmed the covering from (if applicable) and connect
the leads to your receiver with a Y-harness.
❏
4. Bolt the bottom wing to the fuselage. Attach the
interplane struts to the bottom wing by inserting the
aluminum tabs into the slots. Slide the struts aft until they
are fully seated in the wing. The strut ends that have a more
curved end attach to the bottom wing.
❏
5. Fit the top wing onto the interplane struts and secure
them into the slots the same way you did with the bottom
wing. Slide the bottom ends of the cabane struts into the
grooves in the fuselage. Attach the cabanes to the fuselage
using four #4 x 1/2" [13mm] screws and four #4 fl at washers.
