Control stick:
Referring to Figures 6/1 and 6/2, insert
the trunion(Ni28-082) through the rectan-
gular opening in the control stick(Ni28-
081) and pin it in place with pivot
(WP161-12). You will need to drill out the
holes in the stick for the pivot pin and
must cut the pin to length. Glue itís ends
to the molded-on false nuts, making sure
that the stick moves easily back and forth
on the trunion.
In the actual aircraft, the joints between
the control stick, push lever, and “S” arms
are designed to move in two axes. This is
accomplished in the model by the simple
expedient of allowing sufficient free play
in the linkage. It is suggested that you test
fit the linkage before gluing on the false
nuts, and then ream the holes in the push
levers(Ni28-087) if needed.
Unite the aileron push levers(Ni28-087)
and aileron “S” arms(Ni28-088) by means
of the aileron control false bolts(A017)
and false nuts (Ni28-086). Attach these
assemblies to the trunion pivots and
secure with false nuts. Make sure that all
the joints move freely.
Glue the control stick supports(Ni28-
084) into place on the 3x3mm
braces(WPO3631-24) that run across the
cockpit. The braces fit within the slots,
which face each other, on the supports.
Next insert the trunion pins into the brack-
ets on the supports and gently crimp the
brackets to secure the trunion pins but still
allowing the control stick to pivot freely
side to side.
Finish this step by attaching the 2 eleva-
tor control cables(WP1205) (“A” and “B”
in Figure 6/2) to the control stick. Run the
cables back through the fuselage, through
the left outer of the bottom four lightening
holes of formers #4-6, then through the
left outer of the four holes in the brace
across former #7. Temporarily tie them
off at former #10.
Rudder controls:
The rudder bar assembly consists of
parts Ni28-089-092 and WP1860 as
shown in Figure 6/3. Make sure the rudder
bar(Ni28-089) swings freely. Make the
stirrups from the 1/4” aluminum
