The wing panels can now be plugged into the fuselage: lay
the model on its back and push the wings together fully,
so that there is no lost motion at the joint, and engage the
wing retainer 45 on the toothed section in such a way that

the two injection-moulded plastic parts. In this position
tack the retainer to the tubular spar by applying a small
amount of Zacki ELAPOR Super liquid just in the gap at
the point shown in the picture. Allow the glue to set hard,
then carefully dismantle the model and apply more glue to
the wing retainer if necessary. The wings are separated by
pulling the lug forward towards the wing leading edge with

24. Installing the tailplane crank in the fuselage
Swivel the elevator servo output lever forward, in order to
create a little "working room" for the steel pushrod at the
tail end. Turn the tailplane crank 50 through 90° and slip
the steel pushrod through the hole in the swivel pushrod
connector 25. At the front end, move the servo output arm
back to the neutral position before tightening the grubscrew
in the pushrod connector with the allen key, working through
the hole in the side of the fuselage.

Fit the tailplane crank 50 in the pivot housing 46, then seal
the housing with the cover 47 and the M2 x 10 mm screws

make any adjustments required.

compress the foam slightly at the root face of the tailplane
panels. The easiest method of doing this is to place the
root face of the tailplane panel on the edge of a table, and
slide it to and fro using moderate pressure. Alternatively the
foam can be trimmed back very slightly using a balsa knife.
27. Checking the model
Assemble the model completely, and ensure that the
airframe is "straight and square". All the receiving system
components must be installed and connected correctly.
Check the control surface travels and the direction of
rotation of the servos. Ensure that all the mechanical control
systems are free-moving. Check that the wires attached to
the motor cannot make contact with the rotating section of

The tailplane is at the correct neutral point when the socket-

fuselage. Be sure to set the elevator servo exactly to centre
before you tighten the grubscrew!
