KIT INSPECTION

are of acceptable quality. If any parts are missing or are not of
acceptable quality, or if you need assistance with assembly,
contact Product Support. When reporting defective or
missing parts, use the part names exactly as they are written
in the Kit Contents list.

PREPARATIONS

1. If you have not done so already, remove the major parts

of the kit from the box and inspect for damage. If any parts
are damaged or missing, contact Product Support at the
address or telephone number listed in the “Kit Inspection”
section on page 5.

2. Use a covering iron with a covering sock on high heat to

tighten the covering if necessary. Apply pressure over sheeted
areas to thoroughly bond the covering to the wood.

BUILD THE WINGS

Install the Aileron Servos & Pushrods

Begin with the lower right wing to assure your work matches
the photos.

❏ ❏ ❏ ❏

1. Remove the tape holding the servo cover to

the wing. Drill a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole through the cover into
the hardwood blocks.

IMPORTANT: Throughout this manual you will be installing
screws to secure servo hatches, servos, hardwood blocks,
etc. We recommend that you insert and then remove the
screw into each of the holes you have drilled. Apply a drop of
thin CA into the holes to harden the threads and then once
the glue has cured install the screws into the holes. Though
we will not mention this every time you install a screw, you
should use this procedure for all screws.

Install #2 x 3/8" [9.5mm] wood screws into the holes you
drilled.
