prepared outer sleeves 53, which are 523 mm long.
Connect the pre-formed end of the pushrod to the second hole
from the outside of the servo output arm. Glue the snake outers
in the appropriate channels, running cyano right along the
channel.

16. Preparing the control surface horns
Fit the allen-head grubscrews 24 in the swivel barrels 23:
two for elevator and rudder, four if working ailerons are to be
fitted. Engage the prepared swivel barrels in the "Twin"
horns 22.
17. Attaching the horns to the rudder and elevator
Spray activator on the joint surface (the underside) of the
horns. Apply cyano to the horn recesses in the elevator 6 and
rudder. Leave the fluid to air-dry for a few seconds, then
press the horns into their recesses.
Slip the steel pushrod for the rudder linkage through the
hole in the swivel barrel 23. Check once more that the
servos are at centre before tightening the allen-head
grubscrews 24. We recommend that you apply a drop of
medium-strength thread-lock fluid to each grubscrew to
prevent them working loose over time.

18. Installing the tailplane frame
To guarantee a secure seating, the tailplane frame 47 must
be glued in the recess of the tailplane 6.
Fig. 19
19. Attaching the tailplane
First withdraw the tailplane slider 48 slightly, then insert the
tailplane 6 and push the slider back in as far as it will go to
secure the tailplane. Do not glue it! The tailplane should be
left detachable for safe, convenient transport. To remove the
tailplane, press the tailplane clips 44 together with two
fingers, and at the same time pull the tailplane slider 48
down; the tailplane can now be removed.

20. Connecting the elevator
Slip the inner pushrod for the elevator through the hole in the
swivel barrel 23, and check the servo neutral position once
more before tightening the allen-head grubscrew 24. We
recommend that you apply a drop of medium-strength
thread-lock fluid to the grubscrew to prevent it working loose
over time.

21. Releasing the control surfaces
Use a sharp balsa knife to remove the foam at the lateral
ends of the control surfaces, cutting along the moulded-in
channels. Repeatedly move the control surfaces to and fro in
order to loosen the integral hinges and render them free-
moving. Do not separate the control surfaces!

22. Attaching the servo well covers
Press the left and right servo well covers 11 and 12 into the
openings in both sides of the fuselage. They should not be
glued in place, as you may have to replace the servos at
some time.

23. Installing the wing joiner channel cover
Carefully glue the wing joiner channel covers 9 and 10 in the
wing panels 7 and 8. Take particular care to avoid glue running
14
onto the surfaces which will later make contact with the wing
joiner 50. Check that the wing joiner 50 is a snug fit in the
wings, but only when you are absolutely confident that there is
no active adhesive inside the channel. If you neglect this, you
could find that the model is glued together permanently.

24. Attaching the (optional) aileron horns
Assemble the "Twin" horns 22, and glue them in the
recesses in both ailerons (wing panels 7 + 8) using cyano
and activator, as described earlier.
Fig. 25
25. Preparing the aileron servos
See "12. Preparing the servos".
26. Installing the aileron servos
Wrap adhesive tape round the servos to prevent glue
running inside the case.
Fit the pre-formed aileron pushrods 26 through the second
hole from the outside of the servo output arms. Press the
servos and leads into the recesses and channels, and
thread the plain end of the pre-formed aileron pushrods 26
through the swivel barrels mounted on the aileron horns.
Check once more that the servos are at centre before
tightening the grubscrews 24 in the swivel barrels. We
recommend applying a drop of medium-strength thread-lock
fluid to the grubscrews to prevent them working loose.

27. Servo lead length, aileron connections
Draw the servo leads out of the wings 7 + 8 where the wing
meets the fuselage.
Fig. 27
28. Installing the cable sleeves
To avoid kinking the aileron servo leads, glue 18 mm
lengths of snake outer sleeve (3 mm Ø / 2 mm Ø) in the
recess where the cables exit the wing.

29. Installing the firewall
Glue the firewall 40 in place using thick cyano. Don't use
activator for this joint, as you will need a certain amount of
time to position and align the firewall correctly.

30. Gluing the cowl screw support in place
Glue the cowl screw support 42 at the front end of the motor
pod.
Fig. 30
31. Installing the motor
Fix the motor in place using two M3 x 6 screws. Apply a drop
of medium-strength thread-lock fluid to the screws.
Fig. 31
32. Installing the motor cowl
Fit the three screws 30 to secure the motor cowl 41.

33. Assembling the propeller
Attach the propeller blades 57 to the propeller boss 55 using
the two dowel pins 62.
Fig. 33
Slip the taper collet through the driver 58 and place this
assembly in the propeller boss 55. The washer 59 and the
