the cone adapter and around the outside of the cone in the
fuselage. Reinstall the unit into the fuselage, making sure the
cone adapter is properly engaged with the front of the cone.
Wipe away excess epoxy by reaching down in through the
back of the tail cone with your fi nger. Allow to harden. Hint: If
you’re a messy builder, you could add a thin fi lm of petroleum
jelly to the motor extension wires at the aft end of the cone
adapter to keep excess epoxy from sticking to the wires.
❏
5. Glue the front housing fl ange to the inside of the
fuselage with medium CA.
Let’s install the ESC now, but fi rst make sure the wires
are connected properly so the motor turns the correct
direction…
❏
6. Temporarily connect the ESC to the motor and connect
the ESC to your receiver, but don’t mount the ESC in the
fuselage yet. Turn on the transmitter and connect your motor
battery. Make sure the motor turns and in the correct direction
(by blowing air out the back of the fuselage) when you advance
the throttle. If the motor is turning backwards, switch any two
of the three wires between the motor and the ESC.
❏
7. Now that you have the ESC connected and set up
correctly, mount it to the inside of the fuselage with the
included double-sided adhesive foam tape or RTV silicone.
Note in the top photo that the motor wires are routed above
the elevator pushrod guide tubes in the top of the fuselage,
keeping them neatly out of the way.
ASSEMBLE THE WING
Mount the Wing
❏
1. Test fi t, then use epoxy or medium CA to glue the
hardwood wing dowel into position with approximately 1/4"
[6.4mm] protruding from the wing.
❏
2. Cut the covering from the top and bottom of the wing over
the mounting bolt holes near the trailing edge. Temporarily
mount the wing to the fuselage with the 3 x 15mm Phillips
screws, 3mm fl at washers and the plywood wing bolt plate.
Use a fi ne-point felt-tip pen to mark the perimeter of the wing
bolt plate onto the wing.
❏
3. Remove the wing bolt plate and cut the covering from
the wing 1/16" [1.6mm] inside the lines. Wipe away the ink
with a paper towel dampened with denatured alcohol.
❏
4. Re-mount the wing, this time gluing on the wing bolt
plate—use care not to get any glue in the threads of the
screws.
