❏
1. Confirm that the set screw holding the prop adapter to
the gearbox shaft is tight using a 1.5 mm [1/16"] allen
wrench. Slide the spinner backplate, propeller, and prop
washer onto the prop adapter. Tighten the assembly with
the 3 x 12 mm [1/8" x 1/2"] propeller machine screw.
❏
2. Attach the spinner cone to the spinner backplate using
the 2.6 x 8 mm [7/64" x 5/16"] self-tapping spinner screws.
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 fingerprints
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 and 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.
❏
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 pushrods in the screw-lock pushrod connectors 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.
Use a Great Planes AccuThrow (or a ruler) to accurately
measure and set the control throw of each control surface as
indicated in the chart on page 20.
Note: The throws are measured at the widest part of the
elevator, rudder and ailerons.
