Note the location of the linkage holes relative to the
hinge pivot axis: sketch "A".
- Drill 2 mm Ø holes at the marked points.
- Fix the horns to the ailerons using the M2 x 15 screws and
spreader plates provided - Figs. 14 and 15.
- Set the aileron to centre. Mark the point on the pushrod
where it crosses the horn linkage hole - Fig. 16.
- Disconnect the pushrod and form a Z-bend at the marked
point. Cut off excess pushrod length and connect the
aileron linkages permanently - Fig. 17.
- Attach the wing strut brackets using the 2.2 Ø x 8 mm self-
tapping screws - Figs. 18 and 19.
Stage 2, preparing the top wing
- Attach the ailerons to the top wing as described for the
bottom wing.
- Locate and open up the slots for the six wing strut bracket
in the centre and outboard part of the wing - Fig. 20.
- Place the strut brackets in position and secure them with
the 2.2 Ø x 8 mm self-tapping screws - Fig. 21.
- Mark the position of the aileron actuating lugs on the top
ailerons and drill 3 mm Ø holes at the marked points.
- Open up the hole in the aileron actuating lugs to 2.5 mm Ø
and fix them to the ailerons using 2.9 Ø x 9.5 mm screws
and 4.2 / 10 mm Ø washers - Figs. 22 to 24.
Stage 3, the tail panels
- Slip the pushrods into the snake outer sleeves from the
front in order to locate the slots in the tail end of the fusela-
ge for the elevator and rudder pushrods. Remove the cove-
ring film to reveal the outer sleeves - Fig. 25.
- The next step is to check the alignment of the tailplane, and
for this the bottom wing must be attached to the fuselage.
Place the wing and bottom fairing on the fuselage and fix
both in place using the M4 x 29 mm screws
- Figs. 26 and 27.
- Sand the elevator joiner rod and place it in the tailplane slot
in the fuselage.
- Slide the tailplane into the slot in the fuselage and set it
central. Measure the distances shown (X right = X left), and
pin it in place - Fig. 28.
- Mark the outline of the glued joints. Carefully remove the
film from the joint surfaces - Figs. 29 and 30.
- Fit the tailplane again, align it as before, then glue it in place
permanently by running cyano along the joints - Fig. 31.
- Glue the hinges in the elevators as described for the
ailerons, again using cyano - Fig. 32.
- Slip a piece of clear plastic film between the joiner rod and
the tailplane on each side, to prevent the joiner becoming
stuck to the tailplane.
- Apply epoxy to the channels and holes in the elevators.
- Attach the elevators to the tailplane, keeping the hinge line
gap as narrow as possible. Move the elevators down first
and apply cyano to the exposed hinges. Move the elevators
up and repeat the procedure. Check that the elevators
move freely up and down, and are capable of the stated
travels - Fig. 33.
- Remove the film over the channel for the tailwheel unit
- Fig. 34.
