The hinges are all supplied loose fitted ready for
installation. Glue the hinges into the ailerons with
a couple of drops of thin cyano on each to secure.
Ensure the glue soaks into the hinge & surrounding
wood.
Slot the aileron onto the hinges, ensuring a gap free
hinge line and making sure both ailerons line up with
the wing tips. Minimise any hinge gap then add a
couple of drops of cyano to each hinge. Turn the wing
over and drop more cyano onto each hinge.
Connect an extension lead to your aileron servo. It is
a good idea to secure the extension using a lead-lock,
insulation tape or heat-shrink tube.
Cut the film away from the servo aperture in the
bottom of the wing.
Tie the end of the extension lead to one end of the
string in the wing.

Cut away the film from the hole in the centre of the
wing. You can now pull the string gently through the
hole and feed out the extension lead.
Position the aileron servo in the wing with the horn
pointing towards the wing tip and output arm towards
the trailing edge of the wing. Now pilot-drill holes for
the mounting screws with a small drill.
Fit the rubber grommets and ferrules, then screw the
servo in position using the screws supplied with your
servo.
Position the aileron horn 1mm back from the leading
edge on the underside of the aileron in the centre of
the ply reinforcement as per
the diagram. Pilot-drill the
holes for the mounting
screws.
Screw on the aileron horn, ensuring you hold the horn
back plate in position so that the mounting screws
thread into the moulded back plate.

Turn the wing over and trim off any excess thread
using side cutters.
Now hold the aileron pushrod wire firmly and attach
a plastic clevis.
Clip the clevis onto the horn in the hole 2nd out from
the surface of the wing.
With the aileron held in its neutral position and the
servo centred, mark the wire where it crosses the
servo arm. If the wing is fitted to the fuselage, the
ailerons are at neutral when the bottom surface of
the trailing edge is 7mm above the surface of the
fuselage.
Bend the wire up at 90 degrees where marked.

Slide the aileron servo horn over the wire, re-fit to the
servo, then slide the swing-in keeper onto the wire and
clip into place.
Trim the excess wire 2mm above the keeper using side
cutters.
Repeat this process for the other aileron servo.
If you wish to use the Side Force Generators, trim the
covering away from the bolt holes on the wing tips.
Also trim the covering away from the mounting holes
on both sides of the Side Force Generators.
Bolt the Side Force Generators to the wing tips using
the nylon bolts supplied.

Install the “Aileron 1” and “Aileron 2” identification
tags to the extension leads.
Secure the hinges in the tailplane using a couple of
drops of cyano on each.
Slot the elevator onto the hinges keeping the hinge
gap to a minimum and run thin cyano in the hinges on
both sides, ensuring the glue soaks into the hinge and
surrounding wood.
Now secure the hinges into the fin using a couple of
drops of cyano on each.
Slot the rudder onto the hinges and keeping the hinge
gap to a minimum, run cyano into both sides of each
hinge.

Place the tailplane in position on the fuselage and turn
it upside down. Carefully check that the tailplane is
square and centred in relation to the fuselage. Now
mark the position of the fuselage on the tailplane.
Using a sharp knife blade, carefully cut the film from
the tailplane inside the marked lines.
IMPORTANT: Do not cut the wood, as this will
seriously weaken the tailplane.
Thoroughly mix up some 5 minute epoxy.
Apply the epoxy evenly to the fuselage.
Position the tailplane on the fuselage ensuring it is
square and hold firmly in position until the glue has
cured.

Carefully cut the film away from the fin slot.
Place the fin in its slot and mark the position of the
fuselage on the film on the fin.
Mark the fuselage where the fin is positioned. Remove
the fin then cut and remove the film from the fuselage
so that the fin has a completely film free surface to
bond to.
Cut the film away from the bottom of the fin below the
marked lines.
IMPORTANT: Do not the cut the wood, as this will
seriously weaken the structure.
Thoroughly mix some 5 minute epoxy and apply it to
the base of the fin and where it joins the fuselage.

Glue the fin in position in its slot in the fuselage. A
great way to ensure the fin is perpendicular to the
tailplane is to use an empty CD case or set square.
Just as you did with the fin, trim the excess film from
the tab on the tail skid.
Trim away the film from the slot in the bottom of the
fuselage. Insert the skid and mark its position then
remove it and cut the excess film away from the
fuselage.
Now glue the skid in place using thick cyano,
ensuring that it is square to the fuselage.
Place the landing gear in position at the front of the
fuselage ensuring that it is centred on its plywood
mounting plate. Clip the mounting brackets in place as
shown and mark the position of the mounting holes.
