Great Planes Spirit of St. Louis ARF - GPMA1152 - Manual (Page 7)

Due to the manufacturing process, there may be some small
surface stress marks on the fuselage and wing. This is normal.
❏
1. Using the indentations in the aft end of the fuselage as
a guide, cut the slots for the elevator and rudder pushrods.
❏
2. Use sandpaper to roughen one inch at both ends of
the .094" x 13" [2.4 x 330mm] plastic pushrod guide tubes
with sandpaper. Insert the pushrod guide tubes through the
slots you just cut. Push them forward until they protrude 1/4"
[6mm] beyond the end of the slots.
❏
3. Insert the front of the pushrod through the two small
holes in the rear former of the battery bay. Secure the
pushrods on both ends with a small drop of epoxy.
❏
1. Install a wheel onto an axle screw. Tighten one knurled
nut against the shoulder in the axle screw. Make sure the
wheel turns freely on the axle. Do the same with the other
wheel and axle.
