Great Planes Reactor 3D EP ARF - GPMA1540 - Manual (Page 7)

❏
1. If you have not done so already, remove the major
parts of the kit from the box and inspect them for damage. If
any parts are damaged or missing, contact Product Support
at the address or telephone number listed in the
“Kit
Inspection” section on page 6. Important! Save the bag
that the fuselage is packaged in for a building step later
in this manual.
❏
2. Remove the tape and separate all the control surfaces.
Use a covering iron with a covering sock on medium heat to
tighten the covering if necessary. Apply pressure over sheeted
areas to thoroughly bond the covering to the wood.
❏
1. Test fit the pre-cut CA hinges into the slots in the
ailerons and wing panels. If any are difficult to install, use
a hobby knife in the slot to slightly enlarge it.
❏
2. Insert the CA hinges halfway into the slots in the wing
panels. Push small T-pins through the middle of the hinges
to keep them centered. Insert the ailerons onto the other
ends of the hinges. Align the outer tips of the ailerons flush
with the wing tips. Pull the ailerons away from the panels far
enough to confirm that the hinges remained perpendicular
with the hinge line. If not, use a hobby knife or small
screwdriver to nudge them straight.
❏
3. When satisfied, push the ailerons up against the wing
panels and carefully remove the T-pins. Use thin CA glue to
secure the ailerons by applying 3 to 4 drops onto both sides
of each hinge.
❏
4. Trim the covering from the aileron servo bays on the
underside of the wing panels.
