operation of this model

Step 1: Rudder servo

The correct location for the rudder servo is shown below:

Begin by attaching a servo horn and an extension wire of adequate length (between

70cm and 1m) to the rudder servo Make sure the servos are centered (use your radio)

before attaching the servo horns as this will be difficult to rectify later! Next, test fit

the servo in its slot (note, servo thickness must be less than 15mm) To attach, first

roughen the farside of the servo using sandpaper and glue in place using 5 minute

epoxy

Next, locate the servo door covers You can see how these are installed in the image

above You will need to cut out a small slot in the covering film using a craft knife to

complete the instillation This must accommodate the full range of servo motion so be

sure to allow for this Attach the servo cover to the vertical stabilizer using screws or

5 min epoxy Finally, feed the servo extension wire through the plane to the nose

Step 2: Rudder hinge, control horn and clevises

The aircraft is supplied with the rudder attached to the tail surface, however it is not

glued in place To attach it securely, first remove the rudder and hinges from the

plane Use a small drop of CA glue to secure each hinge to the rudder, making sure

appx half of each hinge remains exposed Next, drop a small drop of CA on the very

tip of each hinge and slide it into place

The control horns are attached to the rudder using screws First, find a control horn

and line it up with the servo horn Drill four small pilot holes using a 2mm bit and

secure with screws

Rudder servo

Note the correct position and orientation of the servo horns is shown below

Finally, install a push rod and clevis between the servo and rudder control horns to

complete this step The pushrod may have to be cut to the desired length Take care

when cutting these

Step 3: Elevator servos

Due to the shape of the aircraft’s tail, two servos must be used to control the elevators,

as you can see on the next page

Begin by attaching servo horns (as before) and extension wires of adequate length to

each servo (again, between 70cm and 1m) Next, position each servo as shown in the

following image, making sure that they fit as required These servos will need to be

glued in place Roughen the surface of each servo with sandpaper and glue in the

correct position (as before, 5 minute epoxy may be used)

Next, locate the servo door covers These will be attached like so:

Before they can be installed, cut out a small slot as before Again, note that the full

range of the servo must be accommodated Attach using screws or 5 min epoxy

Step 4: Installing the horizontal stabilizer

Both tail surfaces will be attached using epoxy To ensure the strongest possible bond,

roughen the surface to which the wings will be attached using sandpaper Next, locate

the short (125 mm) carbon fibre rod, and locator pins and install without gluing (refer

to the image on the next page)

Next, install both tail surfaces Do not glue them at this point, simply line them up

Ensure that they are the correct orientation (red side up in this case) and that they are

in line with one another It is reccommended to remove the elevator surfaces at this

point to prevent them being glued Apply glue and tape or clamp both surfaces and

support using blocks if necessary Use 30 minute epoxy (or longer) to ensure a good

bond

Step 5: Elevator hinge, control horns and clevises

Once the glue from the previous step has dried, install the elevators, hinges and horns

To attach the elevator control surfaces to the horizontal stabilizer and the control

horns to the elevators, repeat the same procedure used with the rudder Affix using

screws as before Finally, attach pushrods and clevises

Locator

CF rod

Step 6: Installing aileron and flap servos

First, centre servos, install servo horns and attach servo extension wires (30cm for

flaps, 50cm for ailerons) The procedure for installing both aileron and flap servos

into the wings is slightly different than before so care must be paid First locate the

four gray servo covers and as before, cut a slot in the covering film in each Note, as

each wing is a mirror image of the other these will not all be identical Cut as shown

below:

Next, attach a servo to the underside of each of these, once more noting the full range

of the servos This may be done with 5 minute epoxy, or by gluing two small blocks

(provided) to the underside of these covers and screwing the servos to these (see

following image)

Next, take the two main wings and find the servo bays These are covered over in the

factory so this covering film will need to be removed Cut away with a craft knife as

shown below

Next, take the two aileron servos and covers, and feed the extension wires through the

slot between the aileron and flap compartments Make sure you are choosing the

correct servo and cover to install, refer to the next image or guidance This may prove

tricky and some sort of wire will be helpful These can now be attached securely to

the wing This should be done using four screws as shown below Make sure you drill

small pilot holes using the 2mm bit before you attach, to prevent the wood splitting

Next, take a flap servo and cover, again making sure it is for the correct side (note, for

each wing, it should be identical to the aileron servo and cover just installed) Pull

both the aileron and flap servo wires through the styrofoam and through the hole in

the wing provided Then, attach the flap servo using the same procedure

Step 7: Control surface, horn and clevis attachment

Control surfaces and horns should be attached exactly as before Use CA glue to hold

the surfaces in place and screws for the control horns Don’t forget to line up the

control horns with the servos just installed and to drill 2mm pilot holes for the screws

before attachment! Finish off by installing clevises and pushrods

Step 8: Main wing attachment

As with the tail surfaces, the main wings are to be attached using 30 minute epoxy

First, roughen the fuselage where the wings are to be attached as above Next, drill a

hole in the fuselage that will allow the servo wires to pass through freely (Hint,

distance between edge of fibreglass spar and centre of hole is 35mm Also, a 10mm

hole should be adequate) Next, locate the two fibreglass spars and four locator pins,

identical to those used for the tail and slide them into position

Finally, slide on the wings and feed servo wires through the holes just drilled Again,

do not glue at this point, simply make sure that everything fits together as planned

Ensure that the surface of the wing and fuselage come into contact If they do not, the

fibreglass spar may need to be shortened by a few mm After you have acquired the

correct position, you may apply glue and tape or clamp both surfaces in position

Step 9: EDF instillation

Before the EDF can be installed, assemble the fan and motor securely Check that

there are no excessive vibrations when the motor is run Also, to simplify the later

seps of construction, make sure that the motor is orientated in the EDF unit as shown

below
