ASSEMBLY
Assemble the Wing
❏
1. Install the 20-7/8" [530mm] carbon fi ber wing joiner
tube and the 1" [25.4mm] steel alignment pin into the right
wing panel as shown.
❏
2. Carefully slide the left wing panel in place as shown,
making sure that the servo lead does not get pinched.
❏
3. Fasten the wing halves together using the two included
nylon straps and four #2 x 3/8" [9.5mm] self-tapping screws
as shown.
❏
4. Use your radio system to center the servo. Position the
ailerons in the neutral position with tape or small clamps
and connect the clevises to the aileron torque rod horns.
Make any necessary adjustments by threading the clevises
up or down the pushrod. When satisfi ed, slide the silicone
clevis retainers to the ends of the clevises.
Wing assembly is complete.
