If you are installing a fixed undercarriage, attach the noseleg bracket to the nose
bulkhead using four cheesehead screws. Connect the pre-formed end of the pushrod
to the steering arm, slip the pushrod through the snake outer, and clamp it to the
steering arm.
The steering pushrod is connected to the servo output arm using a swivel pushrod
connector, while the two elevator pushrods are linked together using a Duo pushrod
connector.
Drill 6 mm Ø holes in the rudder and elevators to accept the horn sleeves; keep to
the stated dimensions, and position the holes in line with the pushrods.
Remove the covering film at the horn base locations.
Glue the horn sleeves in the top of both elevators, and in the right-hand side of the
rudder. Allow the glue to cure, then screw the threaded rods, nuts and horn lugs into
the sleeves.
Assemble the fueltank as shown in the photo.
Cut a piece of silicone fuel tubing and push it onto the fueltank clunk weight. Push the
free end of the fuel tubing onto the straight tube in the fueltank stopper, and check
that the clunk will be able to move freely inside the tank without binding or jamming
when the stopper is in place. Use a heat-gun or a match to heat the projecting plastic
tubes slightly; this will soften them, so that they can be curved to the shape shown in
the illustration. Check that one pipe points down (filler line) and one up (vent line; this
is the overflow when you are filling the tank). Extend these two tubes with silicone
fuel tubing so that they reach the top and bottom of the tank.
Push the stopper into the tank and tighten the cross-point clamping screw. Ensure
that the screw is tight enough to seal the fueltank completely. You can check this by
holding the tank under water: blow into the tubes and watch carefully: if bubbles rise,
there is a leak which must be sealed.
Cut three pieces of silicone fuel tubing and push them onto the tubes where they exit
the fueltank.
Mark the fuel lines using a felt-tip pen or coloured tape to indicate which is the fuel
feed, the overflow and the filler.
Remove the servo plate from the fuselage, fit the tank in the fuselage through the
main opening, and thread the fuel tubes through the hole in the nose bulkhead. Re-
install the servo plate when the tank is in place.
Fix the motor mount to the nose bulkhead using the screws and nuts supplied. Place
the motor on the mount arms and position it so that the distance between the nose
bulkhead and the spinner backplate is about 100 mm.
Apply strips of adhesive tape on both sides of the fuselage, and draw a line on each
parallel to the nose bulkhead and exactly 25 mm aft of it on both sides.
