Great Planes Extra 300S 60 Kit - GPMA0236 - Manual (Page 42)

❏ 5. Install the elevator, rudder and throttle pushrods, then
install the control horns and hook them up the same way
you did earlier.
❏
6. Wrap the receiver and battery pack in at least 1/4" of
foam rubber, then fit them in the location shown on the
plans. Pack extra foam in the compartment to keep the
receiver and battery pack from dislodging during aerobatics
or a rough landing.
❏ 7. Mount the receiver switch in a convenient location
that will not interfere with the servos and pushrods inside
the fuselage.
❏
8. Route the receiver antenna. On our prototype we
used the fourth pushrod tube to route the antenna to the
rear of the fuse, then taped it to the fuse.
❏
9. Some modelers prefer to cushion the wing with wing
seating foam tape on the wing saddle of the fuselage.
Apply 1/16" wing seating foam tape to the wing saddle of
the fuselage, if you choose.
❏
10. Prepare the engine compartment for installing the
cowl by connecting the fuel lines, installing the fuel filling
valve, mounting the muffler and connecting the throttle
pushrod. Install the cowl, then mount the spinner back
plate, prop, prop washer and prop nut. Install the spinner.
❏ 1. Place the canopy on the fuselage in the location
shown on the plans, then temporarily hold it in position with
tape or rubber bands.
❏
2. Use a felt-tip pen to accurately trace the canopy
outline onto the MonoKote film covering. Remove the canopy.
❏
3. Use a sharp #11 blade to carefully cut the covering
about 1/32" inside of the line you marked without cutting
into the balsa. Wipe away the ink line with a paper towel
lightly dampened with alcohol.
❏
4. Before you permanently glue the canopy to the
fuselage, securely glue your pilot in place. For the most
security, screw the base of the pilot to the cockpit floor with
two #4 or #6 sheet metal screws from the underside of the
cockpit floor. Place the instrument panel decal on the
instrument panel.
❏
5. Reposition the canopy on the fuselage and confirm
that it covers the exposed wood. Glue the canopy to the
fuselage using rubber bands or masking tape to hold it in
position until the glue dries. We recommend a glue
specifically formulated for gluing on canopies such as
Pacer “Formula 560” canopy glue. Formula 560 is like
regular white glue (aliphatic resin) in that it dries clear and
cleans-up with water but sticks extremely well to butyrate
and dries overnight (to allow for accurate positioning).
