When the glue has cured fully, the rudder pull-cables and the two elevator pushrods
can be prepared and installed.
Measure off the required length of the two elevator pushrods, and glue the
connecting parts to the ends of the carbon rods, as described for the ailerons. Thread
the rudder pull-cables through the crimp-sleeves, attach the cables to the threaded
couplers and clevises, and crimp the sleeves firmly. Connect the clevises to the
rudder horns. Repeat the process at the servo end, connecting the clevises to the
servo output lever. Final adjustment is made by screwing the clevises in or out on the
threaded couplers.
Installing the engine
Place the engine on the two-part plastic motor mount; the distance between the front
face of the propeller driver and the rear face of the brackets should be about 137
mm. Mark and drill holes in the mount arms, and fix the motor to them using the
retaining screws provided. Apply UHU schraubensicher (thread-lock fluid) to the
screws to prevent them working loose.
The motor mount brackets should now be screwed to the nose bulkhead in such a
way that the centre of the motor is in line with the centre marking on the nose
bulkhead. Mark the position of the fixing screw holes on the nose bulkhead, and drill
the holes the correct diameter to accept the shank of the captive nuts.
Fix the motor mount to the nose bulkhead, using UHU schraubensicher to secure the
screws in the captive nuts.
Mark and drill the hole for the throttle pushrod in the nose bulkhead.
You will need to remove the carburettor throttle arm in order to install the throttle
pushrod. Connect the Z-bend of the throttle pushrod to the carburettor throttle arm,
and slip the rod into the pushrod sleeve. Fit the sleeve through the hole in the nose
bulkhead, then through the bulkhead in front of the wing joiner tube. Thread the end
of the pushrod through the cross-hole in the swivel pushrod connector fitted to the
throttle servo. Attach the throttle arm to the carburettor again.
Set the carburettor barrel to the half-open position. Set the throttle servo to centre
from the transmitter, and tighten the grubscrew in the pushrod connector. Apply a
drop of UHU schraubensicher to the grubscrew to prevent it shaking loose.
The undercarriage
Drill and file out the holes and slots in the wheel spats, following the dimensions
stated in the photos.
Fix the wheels and axles to the undercarriage unit as shown in the appropriate
photos. Shorten the outside ends of the wheel axles where they project beyond the
wheel spats.
