TIP: *If you do not want to use retracts, pull the actuation rods until both wheels are locked fully DOWN.
Install a wheel collar over the rods to lock down the retracts.
Diagram #6 Install the scale drop tank as shown with CA
Diagram #7 – LANDING GEAR SERVO
*Install the retract servo tray with CA or epoxy. Install retract servo using screws as shown.
*Assemble the servo arm with the Quick Link style connectors but do not install the servo arm on the servo at
this time.
*Turn on the transmitter and receiver and set the retract switch so the landing gear is in the retracted position.
*Use the servo reversing switches to make sure the servo rotates in the correct direction before installing the
servo arm.
*With the servo arm installed, the retracts and the retract switch in the retracted position, turn the wing over
and drill a 2-3mm hole in each half of the lower wing sheeting to gain access to the Quick Link set screws.
*Adjust the retract pushrod wires as needed and tighten the set screws on the Quick Links. Test the retract
system to make sure everything works properly.
*Make any adjustments needed to make the system work perfectly.
Diagram #8 - STABILIZER
*Remove covering from horizontal stabilizer area shown. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO NOT
CUT INTO THE BLASA. Use a VERY sharp knife along a straightedge with very light pressure, then test to see if
the covering can be pulled away. If not, make another LIGHT pass with the knife and test again.
*Check the elevator slot in the fuselage to insure that it is free of burrs that might scrape covering. Deburr
with hobby knife if needed.
* DO NOT INSTALL HINGES YET! Remove and set the hinges aside.
*Slide the elevator through the slot in the fuselage.
*Slide the horizontal stabilizer through the slot in the fuselage.
*Now install hinges for the horizontal stabilizer and elevator.
*Align the horizontal stabilizer in the fuselage and measure right/left sides to front-center of fuselage, to be
sure that it is aligned properly in yaw axis. A few straight pins are handy to temporarily fix the stabilizer.
When satisfied, glue only ONE intersection of stabilizer and fuselage with CA.
*Now check that the horizontal stabilizer alignment is 90 degrees to vertical stabilizer. When satisfied, glue the
other three intersections with CA Glue. (“medium” CA Glue is useful here to fill gaps)
Diagram #8 – Rudder
*Assemble the Tail-Wheel Assembly as shown. Glue tail wheel wire into Rudder using 5-minute epoxy, as
shown.
*Now install hinges for the vertical stabilizer and rudder.
*Screw the tail wheel mount to the bottom of the fuselage using the supplied screws.
Diagrams #9 #10 #11 - LINKAGE - Assemble as Shown
TIP: Install the pushrods into their tubes, fit the horns to the Z-Bends, and THEN screw the horns onto the
elevator and rudder servos.
Diagrams #12 - MOTOR MOUNT
#12 Electric mount: Install the Hyperion Z3025 motor using back mount set HP-Z30-BKMNT-L. First mount
the Wood Mount to firewall of model as shown, using supplied M3 screws and blind nuts. Then screw the black
“cross” plate to the motor using the taper-head screws supplied with back mount set, with a small amount of
thread-locking compound (Loctite) on the threads. Warning!
Back plate mount screws must not extend more
than 4mm into motor. Warranty is void if longer screws are used. Finally, mount the backplate and motor
assembly to the firewall using the supplied sheet metal screws.
TIP: For better scale appearance, instead of screws, use a thin bead of GREY silicone sealant around the lower
painted areas of cowl, and hold down until dry using electricians tape. If you mess it up, wait till the sealant is
fully dry before peeling it off and trying again. Scuff the inside of cowl with sandpaper (but not the clear
areas!) before applying the sealant.
Diagram #13
Use two PM3x20mm bolts with two d3xD12mm washers and the ply plate shown to fasten the wing to the
fuselage. Be careful not to trap any servo extension leads between the wing and fuselage.
