Radio Control Equipment Installation - GRAUPNER Tangent Alpina 4001 PRO Notice De Montage

DESIGN Models.
Our DESIGN range of models are supplied with pre-printed graphics which are both
lightweight and durable. Please observe the following simple steps to maintain the
appearance:
TA-Film is stable up to a nominal temperature of 70
•
expose the surfaces to excess heat. The use of a normal hairdryer is all that is
required to soften the material should it eventually become necessary.
The graphics are waterproof but are not resistant to solvents. Clean your model with
•
a mild solution of soapy water applied with a soft sponge and dry carefully to restore
the fine finish.
Do not under any circumstances use cleaning products which contain concentrated
•
alcohol or acetone as a solvent.

Radio Control Equipment Installation.

Fuselage servo installation
Install the rudder & elevator servos in the cut-outs in the servo mounting frame according
to the instructions supplied with the servos. Fit clevises and lock-nuts and adjust
accordingly such that the control surfaces are held at neutral when the servo positions are
centred and make maximum use of the servo throw. Check the operation to ensure
smooth running and slop free control linkages always keeping mind to minimise the length
of unsupported control linkages.
Wing servo installation
The servos themselves are simply bonded to the inside of the servo cover scoop using
suitably thickened epoxy and screwed onto the plywood frames (see also the installation
note supplied with the TA servo LOCK set). Be sure to roughen the surface of the servo
cover to ensure a good bond.
Tip: Protect the servos with heat shrink sleeve. This makes for easy removal and
replacement of the servo, but care should be taken so as not to overheat the servos
while applying the sleeve.
Ensure that the servo output arms are set at 90° with the servo electrically centred.
Prepare the linkages, using threaded rod, clevises and lock-nuts remembering to apply a
drop of thread-lock to the lock nuts or apply a short length of heat-shrink over the joint.
Secure the servo covers in place using the four small screws provided. Use a countersink
tool to recess the screw heads into the servo covers to improve both the appearance and
the aerodynamic performance.
Receiver installation
The receiver itself is best installed on the servo mounting tray and to the rear of the
servos; a good quality Velcro hook & loop material is quite adequate for this purpose. The
receiver antenna is ideally inserted into a suitable antenna tube (or plastic Bowden tube)
and inserted down the length of the fuselage
Although there is a certain amount of Carbon used in the construction of the fuselage, we
would suggest that there is no problem running the antenna down the inside of the
