valve servos to the tray as shown. Make single servo
arms from 3/4" [19mm] servo arms. Enlarge the outer
hole of the servo arm with a 5/64" [2mm] drill. Install
an arm onto each of the servos.
❏
26. Feed the 18" [457mm] air line through the
hole in the tray. The excess length of air line allows
you to remove the tray and access the tank without
disconnecting the air line from the air control valve
when doing normal maintenance.
❏
27. Determine where you would like to mount the
air fi ll valve on your fuselage. Make a 5/16" [8mm] hole
in the fuselage and then install the valve in the side of
the fuselage. Install a “T” fi tting in the air line between
the air tank and the air valve. Install an air line to the
“T” fi tting and the air control valve. If you are unfamiliar
with the installation of the retractable landing gear air
line system please refer to the instructions included
with the air control kit.
❏
28. Place the tray onto the wood blocks. Secure
the tray with four #2 × 3/8" [9.5mm] screws and fl at
washers, screwing them into the holes you drilled.
❏
29. Install your radio switch and charge jack in
the fuselage. Locate this switch as far away from
the ignition switch and battery as is practical. It is
generally recommended that you maintain 6"–10"
[254mm–152mm]. Make all of the connections between
the switch harness and the radio.
❏
30. Thread a nylon ball link onto one of the .074
× 6" [152mm] wires threaded on one end. Snap the
ball link onto the ball on the air control valve. Center
the servo and the air control valve. Make a mark on
the wire when it is aligned with the outer hole in the
servo arm. Make a 90 degree bend on the mark. Cut
off the excess wire 3/8" [9.5mm] above the bend. Insert
the wire into the outer hole of the servo arm. Install a
Faslink
™ onto the wire to secure it to the servo.
