  • Page 18: Wing Assembly

    Wing Assembly NOTE: There are pictures of different planes in this manual, however, this plane’s wings is assembled the same way. 1. It is much easier to install the twin control horns before installing the wing. Locate the fiberglass aileron control horns, ball links, and associated bolts and nylon-insert lock nuts. Use some fine sandpaper to roughen up the center areas of the two control horns so that the glue adheres better.
  • Page 19 8. Cut the covering from the aileron servo openings from corner to corner and iron down inside the openings. Connect servo wire extensions to your servos and secure the connections with the supplied clips, your own clips, or tape. Feed the servo wires into the wing and out the root. Install the servos and screw firmly in place.

    Elevator Assembly NOTE: Some pictures are of different planes in this manual, however, this plane’s elevator is assembled the same way. 1.Cut the covering over the hole for elevator on the fuselage. Glue the elevator to the fuselage. Making sure it’s centered.
  • Page 21 3，Glue the hinge for the elevator the same way as the main wings. 4．Install the horns the same way as the horns on the aileron. Use your radio to set the servo center position and install the large control horn onto the servo. Assemble the control rod and ball links and adjust the control linkage for proper geometry.
  • Page 22 5．To install the horizontal stabilizers you first need to install two 18” servo wire extensions in the fuselage so that they extend from the radio compartment to the rear openings. 6．There is an option to use one servo or two servos for the elevator. If using one servo, the 2 parts of the elevator need to be connected by the fiberglass block with glue as shown below.

  • Page 23: Rudder Assembly

    We recommend using KUZA 1.5” aluminium CNC servo arm (sold separately) for wing control. Rudder Assembly 1． Install the fiberglass control horns in the same way as you did the elevator horns.

If the cable is one long piece, cut it into two equal length pieces. Thread one end of the one cable through a brass tube and then through one of the threaded couplers.
  • Page 25 5.Use your radio system to center the rudder servo and attach either the supplied arm or an appropriate arm for your servo. Thread one of the ball links about half way onto one of the threaded couplers. Feed the loose end of one of the cables through a brass tube and then through the threaded coupler. Holding the rudder centered, adjust the cable length as tight as possible while checking the ball link position over the servo arm.
  • Page 26 7. We recommend using KUZA 3.25” aluminium CNC servo arm (sold separately) for rudder control. 8．The SLICK also provide pull-push style for rudder. Cut off excess fiberglass rudder horn, and use sandpaper to roughen up the parts needed to inlay. Use epoxy glue to glue the rudder horn.
