The control surfaces, including the

ailerons, elevators, and rudder, are

prehinged with hinges installed, but

the hinges are not glued in place. It

is imperative that you properly

adhere the hinges in place per the

steps that follow using a high-quality

thin C/A glue.

2)Removeeachhingefromthewingpanel

and aileron and place a T-pin in the center of

each hinge. Slide each hinge into the aileron

untiltheT-pin issnug against the aileron.This

will help ensure an equal amount of hinge is

3) Slide the aileron on the wing panel until

there is only a slight gap. The hinge is now

centered on the wing panel and aileron.

Remove the T-pins and snug the aileron

against the wing panel.A gap of 1/64” or less

shouldbemaintainedbetween the wing panel

andaileron.

1) Carefully remove the aileron from one

of the wing panels. Note the position of the

hinges.

SUPER TUCANO.Instruction Manual.

8)Afterboth ailerons are securely hinged,

firmly grasp the wing panel and aileron to

make sure the hinges are securely glued and

cannot be pulled out. Do this by carefully

applying medium pressure, trying to separate

the aileron from the wing panel. Use caution

not to crush the wing structure.

7) Repeat this process with the other wing

panel, securely hinging the aileron in place.

Workthe aileron upand down several

times to “work in” the hinges and

check for proper movement.

Note:

4)Deflect the aileron and completely

saturate each hinge with thin C/A glue. The

aileronsfrontsurfaceshouldlightly contact the

wing during this procedure. Ideally, when the

Thehingeis constructed of aspecial

material that allows the C/A to wick

or penetrate and distribute

throughout the hinge, securely

bonding it to the wood structure of

the wing panel and aileron.

hinges are glued in place, a 1/64” gap or less

will be maintained throughout the lengh of the

aileron to the wing panel hinge line.

Note:

Hinge.

6) Using C/A remover/debonder and a

papertowel,removeanyexcessC/A glue that

may have accumulated on the wing or in the

aileronhinge area.

5)Turnthe wing panel over anddeflectthe

aileron in the opposite direction from the

opposite side. Apply thin C/A glue to each

hinge,making surethattheC/A penetratesinto

both the aileron and wing panel.

1) Locate the hardware necessary to install

the control horns for the ailerons.

2) Position the control horn on the bottom of

the aileron. You will see pre-drill hole 3mm for

the horn mounting screw on the aileron.

3) Place epoxy into hole. This will harden the

threads and prevent the crews from pulling

loose.

4) Thread a control horn end with aluminum

washer, lock nut until the top edge of the end is

18mm from the vase of the horn as shown.

1) Using a modeling knife, carefully cut

off the rear portion of one of the 3 nylon tubes

leaving 1/2” protruding from the rear of the

stopper. This will be the fuel pick up tube.

Venttube. Fuel pick up tube.

Fuel fill tube.

3) Carefully bend the second nylon tube

up at a 45º angle. This tube is the vent tube.

4) Test fit the stopper assembly into the

tank. It may be necessary to remove some of

the flashing around the tank opening using a

modeling knife. If flashing is present, make

sure none falls into the tank.

5) With the stopper assembly in place,

the weighted pick-up should rest away from

therear of the tank and move freely inside the

tank. The top of the vent tube should rest just

below the top of the tank. It should not touch

the top of the tank.

6) When satisfied with the alignment of

the stopper assembly tighten the 3 x 20mm

machine screw until the rubber stopper ex-

pands and seals the tank opening. Do not

overtighten the assembly as this could cause

the tank to split.

FUEL TANK INSTALLATION.

You should mark which tube is the vent

and which is the fuel pickup when you attach

fuel tubing to the tubes in the stopper. Once

thetank is installed inside thefuselage,it may

be difficult to determine which is which.

Fueltank.

 7) Slide the fuel tank into the fuselage. Guide

the lines from the tank through the hole in the

firewall.

 8) Use plywood template to hold in place

the fuel tank with C/A glue to secure the fuel

tank inside the fuselage as shown.

9) Connect the lines from the tank to the engine

and muffler. The vent line will connect to the

muffler and the line from the clunk to the

carburetor.

SUPER TUCANO.Instruction Manual.

Blow through one of the lines to en-

sure the fuel lines have not become kinked

inside the fuel tank compartment. Air

should flow through easily.

INSTALLING THE FUSELAGE SERVOS.

1) Installthe rubber grommets and brass

colletsonto thethrottleservo. Testfit the servo

into the aileron servo mount.

 2) Secure the servos with the screws pro-

vided with your radio system.
