extend (lower) the fl aps. Measure the distance that the fl aps
move down from their original, “up” position. The fl ap “throw”
should be 3/8” [10mm]. If necessary, use a small screwdriver
to turn the fl ap adjustment screw in the front of the transmitter
to adjust the fl ap throw so it will be as close as possible to
the specifi ed distance.

Final Assembly

1. Slide the propeller back plate onto the motor shaft. Make

certain the molded-in cavity captures the nut on the shaft.
Add the propeller and washer. Add a drop of threadlocker
to the threads. Then, thread on the nut, tightening it with a
5.5mm wrench or a small pliers.

2. Install the spinner cone and attach with two 2.5 x 8mm

Phillips screws.

3. Fit both wing strut tubes into the hard, plastic strut

fairings in the wing and fuselage—the ends of the strut
tubes with the sharper bend goes upward, into the wings.

4. Push fi rmly on the ends of the struts that go into the

fuselage to be certain they fully “click” all the way into the
fairings. Secure the struts with a 2.5 x 8mm Phillips screw
in each end.

5. When it’s time to fl y the model, the antennas may be

installed in the wings simply by pushing them down into
position. The antennas do not require adhesive and can be
removed if ever the model needs to be placed upside-down
on its wings (for strut removal, etc.). If, however, you prefer to
permanently glue the antennas into place, white glue (such
as Elmers) or foam-safe super glue (CA) may be used.
