4. Remove the pin and add 6 drops of thin CA to the
center of all the hinges on both the top and the bottom.
Do not use accelerator on any of the hinges. Do not
glue the hinges with anything but thin CA and do not
attempt to glue one half of the hinge at a time with
medium or thick CA. They will not be properly secured
and the controls could separate while the model is
in flight.
❏
5. Prepare the hinge slots for the rudder as you did the
elevators. Join the rudder to the fin with the hinges and use
30-minute epoxy to simultaneously glue the tail gear wire in
the rudder and the tail gear bearing in the fuse. Do not
glue the nylon bearing to the rudder. Glue the hinges in
position with thin CA. Note: Vaseline
® on the areas where
the tail gear bearing contacts the wire will ensure that it
does not glue to the tail gear wire or rudder.
❏
6. Prepare the hinge slots in the ailerons the same way
you did for the tail surfaces. Glue the hinges with thin CA.
❏
1. Trim the covering at the holes made for the three fuel
line exits (2-firewall, 1-fuse side). Reinstall the fuel tank,
running the carb and vent lines out the holes in the firewall,
and the fill line out the hole in the fuse side. Cap the fill line
with the fuel line plug. Mark on the firewall with permanent
marker which line is vent and which line is carb (fuel).
❏
2. Reinstall the engine to the mount and the muffler to
the engine. Connect the fuel lines to the carb and exhaust.
❏
3. Install a 3/4" tail wheel (not included) with a 3/32"
wheel collar.
❏
4. Reinstall the wheels in the wheel pants, then the
wheel pants to the landing gear. Secure the 8-32 nuts with
a drop of thread lock.
❏
5. Mount the landing gear to the fuselage with the 8-32 x
3/4" socket head screws and #8 flat washers.
❏
1. Reattach all control horns on the model, using the #2
screws for the aileron control horns, and the elevators and
rudder control horns with the 2-56 x 5/8" machine screws.
❏
2. Reinstall the aileron servos and pushrods. Temporarily
plug the aileron servos into the receiver and plug the
battery into the receiver. Turn on the transmitter and center
the aileron trims. Reposition the servo arms and clevises
as needed to make the servo arm perpendicular to the
servo case and the surface centered. Check that both
servos move the correct direction, remembering that the
wing is upside-down. (Reverse the servo direction in the
radio if required.) Turn off the transmitter and unplug the
battery and receiver. Set the wing aside for now.
❏
3. Locate a piece of leftover plywood approximately 2" x
5-1/2" to use as the receiver plate. Wrap the receiver in
1/4" foam (or thicker). We recommend securing the receiver
(wrapped in foam) to the receiver plate with non-adhesive
backed Velcro
® (not included) to make maintenance on the
model easier. Glue the Velcro strip to the back side of the
receiver plate, then attach the receiver to the receiver plate
with a Velcro “belt.” Glue the receiver plate to the fuse top
with medium CA.
❏
4. With the model inverted in the stand and using the
plans as a reference, locate the lower pushrod tube exit on
the model’s right side under the stab. Slice the covering
along this opening. Slip a 1" piece of leftover fuel tubing
over the other end of the antenna guide tube to protect the
antenna from the sharp edges of the tube.
