Great Planes Cessna 182 Skylane 40 ARF - GPMA1228 - Manual (Page 21)

between the end and the strut. Glue the strut ends to the
struts using thin CA.

4. Locate the small mark locating the strut mounting block
for the fuselage. Drill a 1/16" [1.5mm] hole into the fuselage
at the mark. Drill a 3/32" [2.5mm] hole in the center of both
strut ends. Wick two to three drops of thin CA into the holes
to harden the underlying balsa. Attach the strut to the
fuselage using a #2 x 1/2" sheet metal screw and a #2 washer.
❏
5. Position the end of the strut 1-1/8" [28mm] behind the
leading edge of the wing. Drill a 1/16" [1.5mm] hole into the
strut mounting block though the strut end. Secure the strut
to the wing using a #2 x 1/2" sheet metal screw and a
#2 washer.
❏
6. Trim the plastic strut fairing using a hobby knife and
scissors. Round the corners of the strut ends to allow each
strut fairing to fit properly. Use the photos on the box as a
guide when trimming each fairing. Drill a 3/16" [5mm] hole in
each fairing to allow access to the attachment screws. Use
medium CA or 6-minute epoxy to glue each strut fairing to
the strut.
Turn on the transmitter and then the receiver. Standing
behind the plane, make the following movements with the
transmitter and observe the control surfaces:
If any of the servo movements are wrong, reverse the servo
direction with the servo reversing switches on the
transmitter.
Check the movement of the control surfaces. Use a ruler to
match our measurements listed below.
Aileron 1/4" [6mm] up
1/4" [6mm] down
Elevator 7/16" [11mm] up
7/16" [11mm] down
Rudder 1-7/8" [48mm] left
1-7/8" [48mm] right
These are the suggested deflections from the center of the
control surfaces.
If you need more control movement, you should move the
clevis to a hole closer to the control surface or you can move
the rod at the servo away from the center of the servo. If you
have too much movement, do the opposite. See the
following sketches:
