j) Mounting the Aileron Linkage
Create the aileron linkages as shown in figure 11 a with the linkage rods 150 x 1.4
mm (figure 1, item 15). The clevises are turned to the end of the thread and
clipped tot he rudder horns of the ailerons.
Shorten the rods for the aileron with the servo rudder horn at 90° to the servo
casing so that you can bend the end by 90° at neutral aileron position with a
remaining length of approx. 5 to 6 mm being retained. Push the rods into the
servo rudder horn and attach a safety clop from the linkage parts set.
Deviating from the metal rods (figure 1, item 14 and 15), the
construction set also includes a carbon rod 666 x 2 mm (figure 1,
item 8), which can be used as a thrust rod for the aileron, elevator
and rudder linkages instead of the metal rods. The weight saved
here is at approx. 3 to 5 g. When using the carbon rod, create the
linkages as you wish.
Ensure tolerance-free linkage. The linkage rods at the servo, as well
as the rudder horns of the wings, are attached to the outside.
Linkage of the lower ailerons is achieved using a rod connection to the top ailerons.
The following information on the rods and their individual dimensions are only
reference values and must be measured at the model. Deviations between the
model and operating instructions can therefore be considered.
Cut four 10 mm long parts from the plastic tube 50 x 0.9 mm (figure 1, item 12) as
shown in figure 11b, item 1.
Mark the centre at the two rods 200 x 0.9 mm (figure 1, item 13) as shown in
figure 11b, item 2. Measure 81 mm from the centre out (together = 162 mm)
and mark these two points as well.
Now bend the rods so that the two outer markers are at an angle of 90°, so
that the rods look as in figure 11b, item 3. Push one plastic tube each (as
shown in figure 11b, item 1) onto the angled ends.
Angle the ends by 90° as shown in figure 11b, item 4 and cut the rod ends so
that a protrusion of about 4 to 5 mm remains.
The rods produced by you are now installed to the upper and lower ailerons as shown in figure 11c. Attach the plastic tubes integrated in the rods to the aileron
ends with adhesive strips so that the rods can be moved freely in the tubes.
When installing the rods, ensure that the top aileron is also in a neutral position when the lower aileron is set to neutral.
