Section 1: Assembly of the Wing
Carefully remove the contents of your Alpha Trainer
Ready-To-Fly kit. It is recommended that you charge
the transmitter and receiver batteries for 24 hours
prior to flying your model.
Step 1
Remove each wing panel from its protective plastic
bag. Remove the pieces of tape that hold the ailerons
in place for shipping. The hinges in the Alpha
Trainer have already been glued in place during
manufacturing. Check to make sure hinges are
secure by gently pulling on the wing and aileron,
trying to separate the ailerons from the wing. Be
careful not to damage the wing structure.
Step 2
Locate the aluminum wing tube and carefully slide
it into the opening in one wing panel. Use a twisting
motion while inserting the tube. A short metal pin is
located near the trailing edge of one wing panel.
This pin keys into the opposite wing panel and
keep the wing from rotating around the wing tube.
Carefully slide the other wing panel onto the wing
tube. Align the metal pin in one panel into the hole
of the opposite panel and press the two panels
tightly together.
Step 3
Locate the clear wing joiner tape and apply it to the
top and bottom of the wing along the joint. Start at
the top of the trailing edge and wrap it around the
front of the wing and to the bottom trailing edge.
Step 4
The aileron servo lead has been wrapped around the
linkage for shipment. Untie the servo lead to free up
the aileron linkage.
Note: The aileron servo lead has been labeled
with a piece of tape; do not remove this tape.
One of the aileron linkages has already been
connected to the aileron and secured with a small
piece of tubing (clevis keeper). This is done to
prevent the clevis from opening during flight.
Connect the other aileron linkage to the aileron and
snap the clevis in place. Slide the clevis keeper
over the clevis to secure the linkage to the aileron.
You have successfully assembled the wing of
your Alpha™ Trainer.
