Mount your air control

valve

and servo. On

our prototype we mounted the air control valve to
the right nose steering servo tray. Mount yours the
same way or find an alternate location. Mount the
servo to two rails made from leftover 1/4"

3/8"

basswood.

Note: It will be easier to connect your

air lines to the air control valve

before you mount

the air control valve in the airplane.

6. Mount your on/off switch and charge jack in a

location where it will not get covered with engine
exhaust residue.

7. Connect your battery pack, receiver, switch and

servos. Connect the air lines to your air tank with a

"T"

fitting connected to your air fill valve. If you are

installing the Cabin Interior, route the air lines and

servo cords through notches in the formers.

Recheck the C.G.

If you haven't already centered your servos,

take the servo arms off all the servos and turn on
your transmitter and receiver (this is most important
for the flaps). Center the trims and put the servo

arms back on your servos and secure them with

the screw.

10. While you're at it, double-check all the

servos and make the servo arms are secured and
make sure all the clevises have a

silicone

retainers.

11. Make sure the control surfaces move in the

proper direction as illustrated in the following
sketches.
