5. Install one foam wing retainer donut under each of

the two wing retainer posts as shown—the foam side goes
up. Four donuts are included—two are used for holding on
the wing and two are spares.

6. Insert one, then the other wing retainer post down

through the top of the wing into the post receptacles in the
fuselage. Turn each post 90 degrees to lock down the wing.

7. Replace the hatches over the posts.

8. Turn the model upside-down and rest it on a small

cardboard box, a couple of thick books or something similar.
Connect the wire for the wing lighting and the remaining
servo wires coming from the wing into the receiver and the
light control module. Connect the light control module to
the receiver. The same as when connecting the elevator
and rudder servos, connect the wires where noted on the
label. Note that, unlike the rest of the servo connectors that
have three wires, the wire coming from the light control
module that goes to the receiver (labeled “LIGHT CH.
6”) has only two wires. Simply connect this plug into an
available receiver receptable, paying attention to polarity,
so the black wire is the same position as the other black
wires for the servos.

9. Peel the protective backing from the double-sided foam

mounting tape on the back of the receiver and mount the
receiver into the fuselage.

10. Still without the propeller mounted, turn on the

transmitter and connect the battery. Refer to the sketch on
page 8 and use the transmitter to move the ailerons and fl aps
to make sure they are responding correctly. If necessary, use
the servo reversing functions of the transmitter to get the
fl aps and ailerons responding correctly.

Check the Control Throws

The amount of control surface throw has a great effect on
the way a model fl ies—how slowly or quickly it responds
to your inputs from the transmitter. If the throw is too much
the plane will react too quickly. If the throw is not enough
the plane will react too slowly. First, measure the throws as
instructed to see if they are set as recommended. Then, if
necessary, make adjustments to change the throws so they
will be correct:

1. Measure the elevator throw fi rst. Place a ruler against the
trailing edge of one of the elevators at the widest part (from
front-to-back).
