Install The Elevator And Rudder Servos - GREAT PLANES EP FALCON ARF Instruction Manual

❏
5. Carfully fi t the stab/fi n into the fuselage. Make sure the
bottom of the fi n is fully keyed into the slot in the bottom of
the fuselage and that the tab in the front of the stab is keyed
into the slot in the former.
❏
6. Use small pins to hold the fuselage sides to the fi n and stab.
❏
7. Temporarily mount the wing to the fuselage with a couple
of rubber bands. View the plane from behind to make sure the
stab is level with the wing. If necessary, add a small amount
of weight (1/4 – 1/2 oz.) to the "high side" of the stab to get
the alignment.
❏
8. Using the pins and your fi ngers to hold the fuselage to
the fi n and stab, permanently glue the stab/fi n into position
with thin, foam-safe CA—again, use only a small amount
of glue, allowing it to "wick" into the foam along the seam.
Remove the pins.
❏
9. Carefully insert the main landing gear into the fuselage—
note that the legs sweep aft.

1. Make two single-arm servo arms by cutting off one of
the longer arms.

2. If necessary, use a #55 (.052" [1.2mm]) drill or a #11
blade to enlarge the holes in the servo arms so the screw-
lock connectors will fi t. Mount a screw-lock connector to the
outer and inner holes of one servo arm and to the middle
hole of the other servo arm.
It will be easier to mount the servo arms to the servos
now, before installing the servos in the fuselage.
❏
3. Temporarily connect the elevator and rudder servos and
your ESC to your receiver. Turn on your transmitter. While the
transmitter is on, go ahead and take a second to reverse the
aileron, elevator and throttle channels.
