Building instructions
Before you start gluing parts together, we recommend that you use a servo tester or the
radio control system to check that the servos are working properly. Locate the angled
pieces of steel wire and epoxy them in the matching channels in the tailplane panels.
They should rest flat at the bottom of the channels, with the in-fill pieces fitted on top,
flush with the surface.
When the adhesive has set hard, fit the right and left pivot brackets (plastic parts) and
collets on the projecting ends. Make sure there is sufficient clearance, so that the tail
panels do not foul the fuselage sides when they deflect. Tighten the grubscrews after
applying a drop of UHU thread-lock fluid to each one.
Glue the undercarriage mounts together using wood glue. Allow the joints to harden
fully, then glue the blocks in the wing panels using epoxy.
Remove the mounting lugs from the aileron servos, and attach the large output arms to
them as shown, setting the levers at right-angles to the long side of the servos (servos
must be at centre). Connect 500 mm extension leads to the aileron servos and apply a
drop of cyano to the connectors to prevent them working loose; an alternative is to
shrink a heat-shrink sleeve round each plug and socket. Place the aileron servos in the
recesses in the wings, mark where the servo leads run through the structure, and melt
channels for them using the tip of a hot soldering iron.
Sand the servo cases before epoxying them in the servo wells in the wings. The bottom
wing shells can now be attached using UHU por. Install the retract units after deploying
the compressed air lines in the appropriate channels.
