7. Slide a #4 steel washer on a 4-40 x 3/4-inch
socket head bolt. Then slide the bolt through the
hole in the wing bolt plate and wing. You will
use two steel washers and two bolts to secure the
wing to the fuselage. Blind nuts are installed in the
fuselage to accept the bolts. Use a 3/32-inch hex
wrench or ball driver to tighten the wing bolts that
secure the wing to the fuselage.
8. Move the switch on your transmitter to the On
position. Make sure the throttle stick is toward the
bottom of the transmitter, or low throttle position.
Connect the leads for the battery and motor.
9. Loosen the screw that secures the aileron
pushrod wire to the servo using a #1 Phillips
screwdriver. Do this for both ailerons.
10. Make sure the aileron stick and trim are
centered at the transmitter. Use a ruler to align
the aileron with the bottom of the wing. Use a
#1 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screw at
the aileron servo connector to secure the aileron
pushrod wire. Do this for both ailerons.
Use threadlock on all metal-to-metal fasteners
to keep them from vibrating loose.
