there is no servo chatter in the up or down positions and make sure that the retracts are "locked" in each position. The bends in the
wire should be just inside of W3 as shown in the image below. When you are happy with the operation of the retracts, turn off your
receiver and transmitter. Don't forget to install the servo horn screw when you are done.
15. You now have operational retracts! Now go play with them, making electronic swooshing sounds as they go up and down!
COVERING:
1.
Glue the vertical fin to the fuselage, making sure it is straight as shown in the image below. You can look through the bottom
holding it up to light to see if the fin in right on the center spine of off to one side. You can also use the center joint in the sheeting
if you glued the sheeting right on center. You can, if you want, use balsa scraps to fill in the area of the fin in front of V7, or you
can use covering only here, more balsa adds more weight, but it's easier to cover, so it's up to you.
2.
Do NOT over shrink the covering! Cover the wing, ailerons, stabilizer, elevator, and rudder. Follow the instructions that came with
your covering if you are new to this. We recommend lightweight covering such as So-Lie or similar.
3.
If you are good at covering, you can cover the vertical fin with the same piece as the fuselage side. Else, cover the fin first, stopping
the covering at the V7, then the fuselage sides, and then the front of the vertical fin.
4.
You can cover the control horns if you would like. Be sure to remove the covering from the section that gets glued in though!
5.
If you are using retracts, cover the wing with the gear up and trim the landing gear bays open after covering. Also cover the landing
gear doors.
MORE ASSEMBLY:
1.
Bend the 0.047" x 4" tail wheel wire to shape as shown on the plans. Slide the wheel over the wire and secure in place.
2.
Look at the plans and find where the tail wheel wire gets mounted. Carefully trim a small notch in the center of the spine so the
wire just pressed in. press the wire through the spine against the former as shown on the plans. Make sure the wire is fully pressed
into the groove and secure it with thin CA.
3.
Slide the elevator control horn through the RIGHT side slot for the elevator horn. Make sure it is centered and use thin CA to
secure it.
4.
Slide the rudder control horn in to the slot in the rudder. Make sure it is centered and use thin CA to secure it.
5.
Slide the aileron control horns into the ailerons as shown in the image below. Secure them in place with thin CA.
