Place the fan unit in the appropriate recess in one fuselage shell, mark the position of
the connectors between motor and speed controller on the tail pipe, and cut a notch in
the plastic sleeve for clearance. Solder sockets to the speed controller wires to match
those attached to the Inline motor, extend the battery wires, and solder the appropriate
battery connectors in place.
Glue together the wing retainer plate components, place the captive nuts in the holes
and press the teeth into the wood. Apply epoxy across the nut flanges and the wood to
prevent the nuts working loose.
Place the prepared wing retainer plate in each fuselage shell in turn, and mark the screw
positions on the outside of the fuselage by drilling small holes through the nuts as shown
in the picture.
Run the wires from the speed controller along the fuselage turtle deck and into the cabin
area (battery compartment). The two fuselage shells can now be joined permanently
using UHU por.
Epoxy the prepared wing retainer plate in the fuselage, taking care not to allow any
glue to get onto the internal threaded section of the nuts.
Allow the epoxy to cure fully, then open up the previously drilled holes using the tip of a
hot soldering iron as shown in the photo, so that the wing retainer screws are not a tight
fit.
Place the impeller unit in the fuselage, mark and drill pilot-holes in the mounting blocks
through the duct lugs, and fit the retaining screws to secure the unit. Connect the motor
wires to the speed controller, and check that the impeller blades rotate in the correct
direction. Apply adhesive tape over the gap between the tail pipe and the fan housing to
prevent air leaks.
Cut out an access hole about 60 mm in diameter in the fuselage at the front of the wing
saddle area, through which the servo leads and compressed air lines can be routed.
Epoxy the hardwood reinforcement in the slot to strengthen the wing saddle area.
approx. 60 mm
Assemble the nosewheel retract unit as shown in the photographs, and apply a drop of
UHU thread-lock fluid to the screws to prevent them working loose. Screw the
nosewheel steering servo to the retract unit and connect the pushrod to the servo and
the steering arm as shown in the picture.
