16. Assemble another pair of pull-pull wires for the tail

wheel just as you did for the rudder. Install them on the inner
holes of the rudder servo arm and into the outer holes on
the tail wheel arm.

1. Install the strip of hook-and-loop material through the

slots in the servo tray to hold the receiver in place. Place the
receiver on 1/4" [6mm] foam. Then, tighten the hook-and-
loop material around the receiver.

2. Use an arm cut from a servo horn to make an antenna

strain relief as shown. Insert the receiver antenna into the
antenna tube. Hold it in by placing a small rubber band
around the tail wheel and the end of the antenna.

3. Place the battery on a piece of 1/4" [6mm] foam and

strap it to the former above the fuel tank with a couple of #64
rubber bands.

4. Install a switch harness and charge jack to the fuselage.

Connect the switch to the battery. Be sure to use heat shrink
or tape to be sure the battery to switch connection is secure.

5. Plug the servos into the receiver. Make adjustments to

the position of the servo arms as needed.

Did you know…Art Scholl had three different Chipmunks.
The version that Great Planes has chosen was his third,
which he purchased in May 1977. Originally, N1114V did not
carry the color scheme replicated here. You can still see this
Chipmunk at the EAA Museum in Oshkosh, Wisc.

1. Cut the cockpit on the cut lines and fit it to the top of

the fuselage. Install the instrument panel decals.

3. Cut the canopy on the cut lines. Test fit it to the fuselage.
