8. Model Setup
Before assembling the model, please read each individual section carefully. The construction stages are illustrated for better understanding.
Please note that the numbers in the text always refer to the components in the illustration to the right.
Only carry out the steps described in the different sections if you have completely understood the procedure and know exactly what to observe.
During assembly, observe that you avoid unnecessary ballast in the form of too much glue and/or too heavy components like servos, etc.
In these operating instructions, only the setup of "Model A" is described. The setup of "Model B" (biplane) or "Model C" (low wing plane) is nearly
identical but requires wide model building know-how. "Model C" has no wing dome installed and the aileron servo must be installed in the wing.
a) Mounting the Wing Dome
Before mounting of the aileron servo (figure 2, item 1) in the wing dome, the servo has to be
inspected for its neutral position.
For this, connect the aileron servo to your remote control system or a servo tester and check or correct the
neutral position of the rudder horn. The rudder horn must be put on as shown in figure 2 and secured
against loosening with the retention screw.
The aileron servo is glued in between the two formed parts of the wing dome (figure 2, item 2). To guide the
servos, the fibreglass rods (figure 1, item 16) are inserted in the servo so that the rods protrude into the
servo attachment holes (figure 2, item 3).
Assemble this setup dry. When everything is placed to your satisfaction, first glue on the fibreglass rods to
one side part with the servo inserted with suitable superglue. Then apply the second side part and glue on
everything with 5 minute epoxy resin.
b) Fuselage Assembly
In this construction section, you need to choose the right motor attachment for the motor used and may have to glue it to the fuselage already in this
section. In this case, it must be possible to assemble/disassemble the drive motor later when the fuselage halves have been glued together. Also
observe the notes in the construction section "Mounting the Motor".
Figure 1, item 5, shows the motor mounting plate that matches a brushless motor with rear attachment. The mounting plate is glued into the rear cut-out in the
fuselage. Alternatively, this motor mounting plate can be sawed off to match above the cable penetration and glued to the fuselage tip as required.
Figure 1, item 6 shows a motor mounting plate suitable for any motors that were attached on the front. Alternatively, this component can also be used to place
motors that are too low a bit farther towards the front.
Figure 1, item 10 shows a hard wood used for gear motors. This wood would be glued into the cut-out in the fuselage.
