BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Before you begin assembling your model, inspect it for

wrinkled covering and areas where the covering should be

tacked down to the wood like the openings for the servo

bays. Use Low heat (about 250° F [121° C]) to tack down the

edges. Raise the temperature and iron over wrinkles with

light pressure. Be careful not to contact the edges that you

tacked down while shrinking.

Note: Save the plastic bag that the fuselage came in. It will

be used later in the assembly.

WING ASSEMBLY

Aileron Servo Installation

❏

1. Prepare a left and a right servo using your radio system

to center the servos. Remove the servo arm retaining screws

and the servo arms. Install the standard size servo arms that

came with your servos. Rotate the arm on the splined servo

shaft and choose the arm that is 90° to the side of the servo

case when the servo is centered. Clip off the unused servo

arms so that your aileron servos appear as shown. Fit any

servo grommets now (if equipped).

❏ ❏

2. Working with the left wing, remove the aileron servo

bay cover. Center the servo arm in the opening with the arm

pointing out as shown. With the servo in this position, glue

two 7mm x 10mm x 14mm hardwood blocks under the servo

mounting tabs. If you are using the recommended Futaba

S3115 servos, you may simply use epoxy to glue the blocks

in the positions marked inside the cover.

❏ ❏

3. Drill mounting holes for the servo using a 1/16"

[1.6mm] drill. Install the two servo screws that came with your

servo. Remove the screws and the servo and wick a drop of

thin CA into the screw threads that you just tapped in the

hardwood blocks. After the CA cures, re-install the screws.

❏ ❏

4. Attach a 12" [305mm] servo lead extension to the

aileron servo. Secure the connection with a piece of 3/8"

[9.5mm] diameter heat shrink tubing (not supplied) or wrap

the connection with electrical tape.
