is marked and is for the rudder; the second longest is
marked and is the elevator pushrod with the solder clevis;
the shortest is the second elevator pushrod.
❏
15. Remove the solder clevises from the servo arms.
The pushrods must be cleaned prior to soldering. Rubbing
alcohol works well for this, but don’t wipe off the marks.
Silver solder the clevises to the pushrods, using the marks
you made for reference.
❏
16. Mark the location of the tail gear wire on the rudder
and the nylon tail gear bearing on the fuselage, aligning the
bottom edge of the nylon tail gear bearing and the aft fuse
bottom.
❏
17. Remove the rudder and elevators from the model.
Using a pen, draw lines around the control horns after
which the horns may be removed. Poke approximately a
dozen holes at each surface’s control horn location with the
tip of a hobby knife. Remove the hinges from each surface,
then use thin CA to harden the wood inside the lines you
drew where the control horns attach.
❏
18. Drill a 7/64" hole 5/8" deep in the leading edge of the
rudder at the mark you made for the tail gear wire. Cut a
groove in the rudder for the nylon tail gear bearing. The
Great Planes Groove Tube
™ works great for this task. Test
fit the tail gear wire in the rudder. Cut a slot in the trailing
edge of the fuse at the marks you made for the nylon tail
gear bearing. Without using any glue, test fit the rudder to
the fin with the tail gear wire. When satisfied with the fit,
remove the rudder and set it aside.
❏
19. Mount the aileron servos in the wing with the screws
provided with your radio. Mount the aileron control horns
back on the ailerons.
❏
20. Thread the clevises onto the pushrod wires leftover
from the elevators.
❏
21. Connect the clevis to the control horn. Center the
aileron and position the servo arm perpendicular to the
servo case. Mark the pushrod where it crosses the servo
arm. Bend the pushrod up 90° at the mark and connect it to
the servo arm from the bottom with a nylon Faslink
™ . Trim
the excess wire that protrudes past the nylon Faslink. Hint:
For a precise pushrod fit, enlarge the selected servo arm
hole with a 5/94" drill bit set.
❏
1. Using nylon reinforced packing tape, secure the tank
to the tank tray. Using a 1/16" drill bit, drill out the middle
nipple on the Great Planes 10 oz. tank (not included).
Attach a 12" piece of fuel tubing to the upper nipple, and
cap the line with a Great Planes Aluminum Fuel Line Plug
(not included). This will be the line to fill and drain the
model. Note: This system is extremely simple, lightweight,
and inexpensive. It also allows you to completely drain the
model by simply using the fill line while the model is
inverted in a plane stand.
❏
2. Attach a 12" piece of fuel tubing to the middle nipple,
which will attach to the muffler pressure tap. Assemble and
install the tank cap. Attach a third piece of 12" fuel tubing to
the main nipple in the center of the tank cap, which will
attach to the carburetor.
