E-flite Alpha Sport 450 ARF Assembly Manual

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.

11. Unplug the motor battery and then turn off the

transmitter if you are not continuing to the next
