Mounting The Elevator Unit; Linkage Of The Elevator - Reely SKY Piper J-3 Notice D'emploi

e) Mounting the elevator unit
• The elevator unit (1) is attached to the end of the fuselage
from above, exactly aligned and then attached to the
fuselage using two 2 x 8 mm screws (2).
The control lever for the rudder (3) must point upwards.
• The two distances C must have the same length. In
addition, the ends of the elevator unit must have the
same distance "D" to the wings.
Practical flying tips:
You can quickly detect a slant of the elevator unit when
looking at the model from the rear from some distance.
If necessary, slide small strips of paper between the
fuselage and the tail unit to compensate any slants.
f) Linkage of the elevator
• Suspend the fork head (1) of the elevator linkage (the
right linkage seen from flight direction) into the central
boring of the elevator lever (2). The elevator lever (3)
should now be precisely in the middle.
If you look at your model from a distance from the rear,
you can immediately see whether the elevator is in the
middle or points slightly upwards or downwards.
• If necessary, you can change the length of the control
rods (4) by twisting the detached fork head and thus
adjust the elevator flap precisely.
