10. Lock the rudder pushrod connector and the nose wheel

pushrod connector the same way. Same as the elevator,
make certain the rudder and nose wheel are centered before
tightening the set screws all the way down.

11. Now the battery may be disconnected and the

transmitter turned off. Note: Unless the model is being fl own
or being prepared to be fl own, the battery should not be
stored in the model or connected. Otherwise, the receiver
could receive errant radio signals causing the motor to turn
or the servos to operate, possibly causing injury or damage.

Mount the Wing

1. For balancing the model later, the balance point must

be marked on the bottom of the wings. It is easier to do this
now, before the wing is mounted to the fuselage. Use a fi ne-
point felt-tip pen to mark the balance point on the bottom of
the wing on both sides of the fuselage 1-7/8” [48mm] back

from the leading edge. Mark two more lines, one 1/8” [3mm]
in front of the fi rst line and another 1/8” [3mm] behind the fi rst
line noting the forward and aft C.G. limits.

2. To make it easier to detect the balance marks for

balancing later, place a strip of narrow (1/16” [1mm]) tape
over each line. If you don’t have narrow tape, you could use
a straightedge and a hobby knife to cut strips from a piece
of masking tape.

3. Remove the wing retainer post hatches from the top

of the wing—they simply snap out.

4. Dropping the wing into position, guide the servo wires

coming from the bottom of the wing down past the elevator
and rudder servos and out the bottom of the fuselage. Be
certain none of the wires get caught between the bottom of
the wing and the fuselage.
