7. Drill 1/4" holes through former F1-A to pass the fuel
lines. Temporarily connect the fuel lines to the tank and route
them through the former to make sure the holes are in the
correct location.
❏
1. Cut two 3/8" x 4" servo mount doublers from leftover
1/8" plywood. Glue the doublers to the top of the forward
fuse top at the edges of the opening for the servos. Position
the servos in the fuselage as shown on the plan. Drill 1/16"
holes for mounting the servos, then mount the servos to the
fuse with the screws included with the servos.
❏
2. Cut a slot in the fin TE where shown on the plan to
accommodate the nylon tail gear mount. Trim the rudder LE
to accommodate the mount, then drill a 3/32" hole for the tail
gear. Temporarily mount the tail gear and the rudder to
the fuse.
❏
3. If the stab and elevators are not already on the fuse,
temporarily join them with the hinges so you can make the
pushrods.
❏
4. The same way you did the ailerons, connect the
elevator and rudder to the servos using the pushrods and
hardware shown on the plan. Use 2-56 x 5/8" screws to
secure the large control horns to the rudder and elevator.
❏
5. Drill a 3/16" hole through F1-A for the throttle pushrod
guide tube. If using the O.S. ® MAX LA .40, the location of the
hole is shown on the fuse plan in the cross-section at F1-A.
If using a different engine, drill the hole so the throttle
pushrod will align with the arm on the carburetor.
❏
6. Use one of the guide tubes leftover from the elevator
or rudder pushrod for the throttle. Roughen the tube with
coarse sandpaper so glue will adhere, then glue it into
position. Connect the throttle servo to the carb using a
pushrod with a nylon clevis on the carb arm and a brass
screw-lock pushrod connector with a nylon retainer and a
4-40 x 1/8" screw on the servo arm.
❏
1. Mark the location of the front and rear wing struts on
both sides of the fuselage.
❏
2. Cut a 3/32" x 4" x 30" balsa sheet into two 15" pieces.
Use both sheets to sheet one side, then the other side of the
front of the fuselage from former F1-A to F4-A. Hint: Before
Sheet the Top of the Fuselage
Connect the Pushrods
