Multiplex ROCKSTAR Notice De Construction page 16

Fit the tailwheel 70 on the axle of the tailwheel unit, and
secure it with the collet 71.
Fig. 25
3. Tail panels (KIT+RR)
Glue four hinge pin supports 44 in the bottom half of the
tailplane 13. Glue the sleeve 38 for the tailplane retainer
screw between the inboard hinge pin supports as shown,
then glue the bottom tailplane shell 13 to the top tailplane
shell 12.
Fig. 26
Glue the recessed hinge pin units 43 in the elevator 14. Glue
the 3 mm Ø carbon fi bre tube 72 in the long slot. Close the
elevator by gluing the cover 15 in place, followed by the
elevator horn 49.
Fig. 27
The hinges can now be clipped together to attach the ele-
vator to the tailplane. Slide the tailplane assembly into the
slot in the fuselage, and secure it by fi tting the plastic M5 x
60 retaining screw 48 from the underside.
Figs. 28 + 29
Attach a swivel pushrod connector 53 to the elevator horn
and slip the spring steel pushrod through the hole in the
barrel. Set the elevator to neutral (centre), then tighten the
M3 grubscrew 55 in the barrel to clamp the pushrod in place.
Fig. 30
Glue two hinge pin units 43 and the rudder horn 42 in the
rudder 16, then close the rudder by gluing the cover 17 in
place. The completed rudder can now also be attached to
the fi n: fi rst engage the spigot which forms the bottom fi n
hinge, then clip the two upper hinges together.
Figs. 31 – 33
Mount a swivel pushrod connector 53 on the rudder horn
as described for the elevator, and clamp the spring steel
pushrod in the barrel using an M3 grubscrew 55.

4. Installing the motor (KIT+RR)
Attach the motor to the aluminium mount 59 using the four
screws supplied, not forgetting to apply a drop of medi-
um-strength thread-lock fl uid to each screw! Now install the
motor in the fuselage using the stand-off pillars 61 and four
M4 x 65 mm machine screws 60 and washers 65.
Fig. 35
Fit the propeller driver 86 on the motor shaft together with
the taper collet 87, the spinner backplate 85, the propeller
84, a 6 mm I.D. washer 83 and the M6 nut 82. Tighten the
retaining nut lightly, then rotate the propeller until it rests
against the spinner backplate's integral bosses. Hold the
propeller in this position while you tighten the retaining nut
fully.
Fit the spinner cap 81 over this assembly, and fi x it to the
spinner backplate using two 3 x 16 mm screws 81.

5. Completing the wings (KIT+RR)
The fi rst step is to assemble the cabane for the top wing:
glue the cabane struts 23 and 24 and the wing bolt sleeve
35 to the cabane core 25. Glue the left and right cabane
retainers 29 and 30 in the underside of the cover, followed
by the 3 x 1 x 100 mm CFRP strip 78.
Fig. 37
Glue the strut clips 36 to both ends of the two wing struts
10 and 11, and glue a 3 x 1 x 190 mm CFRP strip 77 on
the inboard face of each strut. Take care that no glue runs
into the strut clips.
Figs. 38 + 39
Glue the tubular spar 79 in the channel in the underside of
the top wing 8, and a socket 37 for the strut clips on each
side. You will fi nd recesses in the ailerons for the aileron link
rod supports 50; glue these in place on both sides.
Fig. 40
Centre the aileron servos from your transmitter before
screwing the output arms to the output shafts. The servos
should be glued in the openings in the bottom wing 9,
applying just a little hot-melt glue to the servo mounting
lugs. Deploy the servo leads in the cable ducts, and apply
adhesive tape over the open slots to seal them. Glue a
horn 49 and an aileron link rod support 50 in each aileron.
Locate the hole in the central wing fairing for the wing bolt,
and glue the sleeve 35 in it.
Fig. 41
Connect the pre-formed end of the aileron pushrods 75 to
the aileron servos, and connect them to the aileron horns
in the usual manner, using the swivel pushrod connectors
53 and M3 grubscrews 55.
Fig. 42
Carefully glue the cabane assembly to the underside of the
top wing as shown, ensuring that it fi ts the correct way round!

6. Installing the receiving system (KIT+RR)
Connect all the servo leads to the receiver, and program the
model memory to give the recommended control surface
travels. Unless you have changed the channel assignment
at the transmitter, the standard sequence for MULTIPLEX
radio systems is as follows:
1. L.H. aileron
2. Elevator
3. Rudder
4. Throttle
5. R.H. aileron
Fix the receiver to the bottom of the M-Frame using hook-
and-loop tape. A few drops of Zacki will ensure that the
tape adheres fi rmly to the wood. The receiver can also be
secured with a cable-tie.
