Great Planes Pete 'n Poke 40 Kit - GPMA0493 - Manual (Page 36)

each servo. Secure the connection between the extension
cord and the servo with tape or clips intended for that
purpose.
❏
3. Use the strings you previously built into the wing to pull
the extension cords through the hole in the bottom of the
center-section of the wing. Connect the extension cords to a
“Y” connector. We used a Futaba AEC-13 Dual extension
cord (FUTM4130).
❏
4. Cut a hole through the fuse sheeting in an inconspicuous
location where you can route an aileron servo wire up to the
servo wire coming from the wing. On our model we cut this
hole just inside the right front main wing strut.
❏
5. Connect all the pushrods to the control surfaces. Be
certain to install the screws that hold the servo arms to the
servos and use silicone retainers to secure the clevises to
the horns on the control surfaces. Add a drop of thread
locking compound to the screw that holds the throttle
pushrod to the brass pushrod retainer on the throttle servo,
then tighten the screw.
❏
6. Mount the main landing gear with the screws and landing
gear straps the same way you did before. Secure the landing
gear covers to the landing gear wire with RTV silicone
adhesive.
❏
7. If you haven’t done so already, securely mount the wheels
to the landing gear with the wheel collars and set screws.
Before installing the set screws into the wheel collars, add a
drop of thread locking compound to each set screw, then
tighten. Be certain you have filed flat spots on the landing
gear wire for the wheel collars that hold the wheels on.
❏
8. Mount the receiver and battery pack where shown on
the plan. Use R/C foam rubber to cushion the receiver and
battery and securely mount them to the bottom of the fuel
tank floor. You can use the same rubber bands that hold the
tank to the top of the floor, or use additional rubber bands.
❏
9. Mount the on/off switch to the left fuselage side (opposite
the engine exhaust) in a location that will not interfere with
other components.
❏
10. Extend the receiver antenna and route it through the
fuselage. Connect the end of the antenna to the tip of the fin
or stab with a T-pin and a rubber band or other hardware
suitable for that purpose. You can make a hook from a cut off
servo arm.
❏
11. Make all the necessary radio system connections (servo,
switch and battery), to operate the radio.
❏
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 servo
arm screws.
❏
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.
❏
3. Make certain that the control surfaces and the carburetor
respond in the correct direction as shown in the diagram. If
any of the controls respond in the wrong direction, use the
servo reversing switches in the transmitter to reverse the
servos connected to those controls. Be certain the control
surfaces have remained centered. Adjust if necessary.
