Assembly Instructions

24. Attaching the (optional) aileron horns

Assemble the “Twin” horns

22, and glue them in the recesses in both

ailerons (wing panels

7 + 8) using CA Glue and activator, as described

earlier.

28. Installing the cable sleeves

To avoid kinking the aileron servo leads, glue

18 mm lengths of snake

outer sleeve (3.2mm OD) in the recess where the cables exit the wing.

29. Installing the firewall

Glue the firewall

40 in place using thick CA glue. Don’t use activator for

this joint, as you will need a certain amount of time to position and align

the firewall correctly.

30. Gluing the cowl screw support in place

Glue the cowl screw support

42 at the front end of the motor pod.

26. Installing the aileron servos

Wrap adhesive tape round the servos to prevent glue running inside the case.

Fit the pre-formed aileron pushrods

26 through the second hole from the

outside of the servo output arms.

Press the servos and leads into the recesses and channels, and thread

the plain end of the pre-formed aileron pushrods

26 through the swivel

barrels mounted on the aileron horns.

Check once more that the servos are at center before tightening the grub-

screws

24 in the swivel barrels.

We recommend applying a drop of medium-strength thread-lock fluid to

the grubscrews to prevent them working loose.

27. Servo lead length, aileron connections

Draw the servo leads out of the wings 7 + 8 where the wing meets the

fuselage.

25. Preparing the aileron servos

See “10. Preparing the servos”.
