PREPARATIONS
❏
1. If you have not done so already, remove the major parts
of the kit from the box and inspect for damage. If any parts are
damaged or missing, contact Product Support at the address
or telephone number listed in the “Kit Inspection” section.
❏
2. Remove the tape and separate the aileron and fl ap servo
covers from the wing. Use a covering iron with a covering
sock on medium heat to tighten the covering if necessary.
Apply pressure over sheeted areas to thoroughly bond the
covering to the wood. If any adhesive from the tape is left
behind, a paper towel dampened with lighter fl uid can be
used to remove the adhesive.
❏
3. Give the ailerons and fl aps a pull to check that the
hinges are securely glued. This should also be done between
each fl ight.
ASSEMBLE THE WINGS
Start the assembly with the left wing so that the pictures
match your assembly.
Install the Aileron Servo
❏ ❏
1. Connect a 16" [406mm] servo extension to one of
the aileron servos. Cut a piece of black heat shrink tubing
in half. Slide the heat shrink tubing over the connector. Shrink
the tubing by heating it.
❏ ❏
2. Install the eyelets and grommets in the servos. Position
the aileron servo on the bottom of the aileron servo cover so
that the servo arm output shaft is centered in the opening.
❏ ❏
3. Noting the grain direction, use 6-minute epoxy to glue
the two 3/16" x 3/8" x 1/2" [4.8 x 9.5 x 12.7mm] hardwood
blocks to the bottom of the aileron servo cover.
Use a T-pin to prick small holes in the bottom of the blocks
and the servo cover to help the glue hold more securely.
Be careful to not poke the T-pin through the servo cover.
❏ ❏
4. Once the epoxy has cured, place a 1/32" [.8mm]
spacer such as a piece of cardstock from a header card
or a piece of paper folded several times, under the servo,
between each mounting block. After the servo is installed
the spacer will be removed providing adequate spacing for
vibration isolation.
❏ ❏
5. Drill 1/16" [1.6mm] holes through the blocks for the
servo mounting screws. Mount the servo to the blocks with
the screws that came with the servo. Remove the servo
mounting screws and apply a couple of drops of thin CA in
each hole to harden the threads. Allow the CA to fully harden.
Then, reinstall the servo and remove the spacer.
