Optional Side Force Generators
Side force generators are included as an optional addition. The
side force generators are designed to reduce wing walking in
high-alpha maneuvers and reduce the amount of rudder input
needed for knife-edge fl ight. The side force generators are
easily installed and removed at your fl ying site. We recommend
fl ying the model both with and without them to get a comparison
of their benefi ts to your fl ying style and skill.
❏
1. Trim the covering from the screw holes in the side force
generators. You will also need to locate the blind nuts on the
wing tips and trim the covering from them.
❏
2. Install the side force generators onto the wing tips using
four 4-40 x 1/2” [13mm] machine screws, four #4 fl at washers
and thread locking compound.
Apply the Decals
❏
1. Use scissors or a sharp hobby knife to cut the decals
from the sheet.
❏
2. 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.
❏
3. Position decal on the model where desired. Holding the
decal down, use a paper towel to wipe most of the water away.
❏
4. 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.
If you installed retracts, confi rm their operation and that they
lock both in the up and down positions.
