Cockpit Installation; Optional Electric Power System Installation - Horizon Hobby Hangar 9 ASH 31 6.4M Manuel D'utilisation

COCKPIT INSTALLATION

1. Install the fiberglass cockpit tub. Squeeze gently on the sides of
the tub to fit it between and under the molded fuselage sides.
The holes in the tub should line up with the holes in the fuselage.
It is not necessary to secure the tub to the fuselage. The tub is
removable to allow for access to the rear of the fuselage and the
lower cockpit area.
2. Install an optional pilot into the tub for added scale realism if
desired. It is not necessary to secure the pilot to the tub.
TIP: Hangar 9 has partnered with two companies who offer
custom pilots; www.warbirdpilots.com in the United States and
www.tailoredpilots.com in the United Kingdom offer very detailed
pilot figures to suit the ASH 31.
3. Install the canopy to the fuselage by inserting the pin at the front
of the canopy into the hole at the front of the fuselage and rotating
the back of the canopy down against the fuselage, ensuring the
side alignment lugs insert into the holes in the fuselage.
4. Slide the wire canopy lock, located under the left wing root, in until
the canopy is secured. It may be necessary to press gently on the
back of the canopy to get it to latch fully. The wire lock is purposely
a tight fit to prevent coming loose in flight.

OPTIONAL ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEM INSTALLATION

1. Roughen one side of each of the motor mount pieces using 80 grit
sandpaper.
2. Using 5-minute epoxy, glue the roughened sides of the two motor
mount pieces together, ensuring the holes line up accurately. Clean
up any excess epoxy with alcohol and a paper towel. Clamp the
pieces together until the epoxy fully cures.
3. Trace a line around one side of the mount approximately 1.5mm
from the outer edge, as shown.
4. Using the line as a guide, sand a bevel on the edge of the mount by
sanding across the edge, from the back corner to the line.
5. Using 1/8" tape, mark a line 25mm back from the nose of the
fuselage.
