6. Insert the z-bend of both

aileron pushrods

in the aileron

servo extension.

7. Insert an

ABS aileron control horn

onto the end of both

aileron pushrods. Insert the aileron control horns in the slot in
both ailerons. With the transmitter switched on and the aileron
servo arm centered, check that both ailerons are centered.
If they are not, adjust the length of the aileron pushrods as
needed. Then, glue the aileron control horns in the aileron.

Again, check that the ailerons are centered and apply a drop

of thin CA to the end of the heat shrink tubing.

INSTALL THE MOTOR

1. Install the motor to the motor mount using the included

#2 x 3/8” [9.5mm] self-tapping screws.

2. Insert the

landing gear

through the landing gear support

and into the horizontal fuselage. Be careful not to push the
landing gear all the way through the horizontal fuselage. The
end should be fl ush with the top of the horizontal fuselage.
If it is diffi cult to insert both landing gear legs through the
landing gear support, use a hobby knife to enlarge the hole
slightly. Rotate the wheels so that they are parallel to each
other. Apply foam-safe CA to the joint between the landing
gear support and the landing gear legs and the horizontal
fuselage and the landing gear legs.

3. Place a small piece of loop (soft) side of the self adhesive

hook and loop material to the back of the ESC and the receiver.

4. Place a piece of hook (rough) material under the

fuselage, close to the front. Route the motor leads through
the fuselage and connect them to the motor. Attach the ESC
to the hook material.
