❏
15. Use the following sequence for mounting the servos
into the wings:
❏
A. Test fit the servos in the tray in each half of the wing.
❏
B. Mark servo hole locations on the tray, then drill
1/16" [1.5mm] pilot holes through each mark.
❏
C. Pull the string out of the servo opening and tie it
to the servo lead. Pull the lead through the wing.
❏
D. Mount the servos in both sides of the wing with the
screws provided with your radio system. Notice the
orientation when installing.
❏
E. Slide a silicone retainer over both servo leads so
that they won’t fall back into the wing.
❏
16. Install the aileron nylon control horn in line with the
servo arm. Hold the horn in position and mark the location
of the mounting holes. Drill 3/32" [2.4mm] mounting holes
through the marks. Wick two to three drops of thin CA into
the holes to harden the underlying balsa, then re-drill the
holes. Attach the horns using #2 x 1/2" Screws and Nylon
Nut Plates. Do not overtighten the screws, crushing the
underlying balsa.
❏
17. Center the aileron trim and aileron servo with the
transmitter and receiver on. Mark the pushrod where it
crosses the servo arm. Enlarge the servo horn hole with a
5/64" [2mm] drill bit.
❏
18. Screw a clevis and the silicone retainer onto the
pushrod. Make a 90-degree bend in the pushrod on your
mark, then insert it through the enlarged hole in the servo
arm. Cut off the excess wire 3/8" [9.5mm] above the bend.
Secure the wire in place with a nylon FasLink.
❏
1. Install the back plate, prop and prop washer onto the
engine crankshaft. Tighten the nut to hold everything in place.
❏
2. Screw the spinner onto the backplate.
❏
3. If you have not installed your muffler, do so now. If you
already have installed it just leave it in place.
❏
4. Connect the lower line from the tank to the fuel inlet on
your engine. Connect the upper line from the tank to the
pressure outlet of your engine.
❏
1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver and center the
trims. If necessary, remove the servo arms from the servos
and reposition them so they are centered. Reinstall the
screws that hold on the servo arms.
❏
2. With the transmitter and receiver still on, check all the
control surfaces to see if they are centered. If necessary, adjust
the clevises on the pushrods to center the control surfaces.
