Glue the fin to the fuselage using the adhesive supplied in the kit.
Attach the tailplane to the fuselage using the two pan-head 1.7 Ø x 8 mm self-tapping
screws; tighten them just to the point where the tailplane cannot shift.
Insert the tailwheel unit in the slot in the underside of the fuselage at the tail end, and
apply a few drops of glue to prevent it slipping out again.
The next step is to mount the propeller on the motor: first fit an M3 nut on the motor
shaft, as shown on the photo, leaving about 8 mm of threads exposed at the front.
Apply a drop of UHU thread-lock fluid to the nut to prevent it moving.
When the fluid has cured, fit the propeller on the shaft and engage the nut in the
hexagonal socket on the rear face of the hub. The front face of the propeller is the
side on which the size (8 x 6") is embossed. Hold the propeller firmly by one blade,
and screw the white plastic retaining sleeve onto the motor shaft from the front.
Tighten it using a pair of flat-nose pliers.
The spinner can now be attached to the plastic retaining sleeve using a 2.3 Ø x 7.5
mm pan-head self-tapping screw.
Set the rudder and elevator servos to centre from the transmitter, and adjust the
length of the two pushrods so that the control surfaces are at neutral (centre). When
the linkages are set correctly, fit the clevises in the outer holes in the rudder and
elevator horns and snap them shut.
The leads attached to the two servos and the speed controller can now be connected
to the appropriate receiver sockets, together with the extension lead for the aileron
servo. The receiver is best mounted on the inside of the fuselage using double-sided
foam tape.
Route the aerial out of the bottom of the fuselage, run it towards the tailplane and
tape it to the underside of the fuselage.
The WILGA 2000 kit is also supplied with a pair of floats which allow the builder to fly
the model from water, or even from snow in Winter. The floats are mounted on the
fuselage by fitting the two wire struts through the brackets on the floats as shown in
the photo.
The float struts are secured by pushing the retaining rings onto the end of the axles.
