6. Place the metal bracket against the plywood plate. Drill
a 1/16" [1.6 mm] hole through the holes in the bracket and
into the plywood plate. Secure the bracket to the fuse with
two 1/16"

½" [1.6

13 mm] screws. Insert the nylon pin on
the tail wheel wire into the hole in the bottom of the rudder.
Glue it to the rudder with a couple of drops of thin CA glue.

7. Slide the tail wheel onto the tail wheel wire and secure
it with the nylon retainer.
Apply the Decals
This photograph and the box photographs show the location
of the decals on the airplane. Refer to these for the exact
placement of the decals. The following tips may be useful for
applying them.
❏
1. Be certain the model is clean and free from oily fi ngerprints
and dust. Prepare a dishpan or small bucket with a mixture
of liquid dish soap and warm water—about one teaspoon of
soap per gallon of water. Submerse the decal in the soap and
water and peel off the paper backing. Note: Even though the
decals have a “sticky-back” and are not the water transfer type,
submersing them in soap & water allows accurate positioning
and reduces air bubbles underneath.
❏
2. Position decals on the model. Holding the decal down,
use a paper towel to wipe most of the water away.
❏
3. Use a piece of soft balsa or something similar to squeegee
remaining water from under the decal. Apply the rest of the
decals the same way.
GET THE MODEL READY TO FLY
Check the Control Directions
❏
1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver and center the trims.
If necessary, remove the servo arms from the servos and
reposition them so they are centered. Reinstall the screws
that hold on the servo arms.
❏
2. With the transmitter and receiver still on, check all the
control surfaces to see if they are centered. If necessary, adjust
the clevises on the pushrods to center the control surfaces.

3. Make certain that the control surfaces and the throttle
respond in the correct direction as shown in the diagram. If any
of the controls respond in the wrong direction, use the servo
reversing in the transmitter to reverse the servos connected to
those controls. Be certain the control surfaces have remained
centered. Adjust if necessary.
