servos into the recesses. If required, apply more glue into any remaining
slits on the aps. Then cut off any protruding hot glue ush and lay the
servo cables.
41. Cable routing in the wing # 1-00112
Now guide the wing cables (with extensions of varying lengths) through
the connector recesses of the wing roots toward the servo. Click the
locking tab into place in the small recess of the green M6 connector
so that it is almost ush with the n. The connector can remain without
cabling – thanks to the small play, tolerances to the fuselage plug are
compensated.
Now connect the servo cable to the extensions and apply force from the
servo to press them ush into the slits. The plug-in connectors go into the
larger recesses. Keep the remaining cable loops in open spaces behind
the wing root and, if necessary, secure with a little hot glue so that they
do not protrude over the edge of the wings.
Finally, stick a matt, transparent, approx. 20 mm wide adhesive strip over
the cables to secure them.
42. Mounting the rudder rods
Hook the aileron rods
㉚
(50 mm) with the 'Z' on the servo arm into the
second hole from the inside.
Hook the ap rods
㉛
(60 mm) with the 'Z' on the servo arm into the
second hole from the inside.
Guide the other ends through the cardan bolts of the rudder horns and
tighten the socket set screws
㉘
in the cardan bolts
㉗
after carrying
out the adjustment. For offset setting (transmitter), readjust the neutral
position of the rudder aps accordingly.

43. Affixing the servo ducts
Afx the servo ducts
and
above the rods as shown in the
illustration. To do so, stick the aps into the slits.

44. Canopies (EPP foam or transparent)
In the construction kit and for RR, the canopy
6
is made of robust, gray
EEP. Consequently, you do not have to paint it and, after sticking down the
brackets, it is quickly completed.
Hint: Optionally, a transparent canopy with cockpit is also available. This
is available as a construction kit under order no.: 1-00138.
45. Completing the canopy (EPP)
Stick the canopy nger-grip
from beneath with hot glue into the
canopy
6
. Stick the two closure plugs
㉓
with the last serration ush
into the holes / moldings in the canopy nger-grip. To do so, apply a little
superglue into the slits and onto the edges and then insert the closure
plugs into the slits. Make sure the brackets are parallel and at right angles
in the molding on the canopy nger-grip – this is the only way to ensure
they latch in on both sides and hold the canopy securely.
Fig. 32
46. Completing the transparent canopy
Optional construction kit order no. # 1-00138
For an appealing and authentic look, we recommend painting the canopy
frame. You can get the best results with EC® COLOR. Paint, for instance,
the frame, the instrument panel, and the seat gray # 60 2806. Once
the paint is dry, stick on the labels for the instrument panel and the seat
precisely.
Stick the two closure plugs with the last serration ush into the slits /
moldings in the canopy frame. To do so, apply a little superglue into the
slits and onto the edges and then insert the closure plugs. Make sure the
brackets are parallel and at right angles in the molding on the canopy
nger-grip – this is the only way to ensure they latch in on both sides and
hold the canopy securely.
Stick the canopy glass, e.g. with transparent contact adhesive, to the
canopy frame.
Do not allow the contact adhesive to ash off as usual; instead, apply
the adhesive, immediately place the canopy on top, and x into place
with adhesive strips. Allow the adhesive to dry for some time. Use the
adhesive sparingly so that the frame does not become stuck to the body;
if necessary, lay a thin lm between the body and the canopy frame.
Finally, the canopy frame can be taped, e.g. using elastic, dark gray
adhesive tape.

47. Preparing the retaining pin
On the retaining pin,
afx a cable tie
㊲
and only tighten to a large
loop – shorten the protruding end ush so that it cannot be tightened
further by accident. The loop will later be used to pull out the pin.
Fig. 34
48. Assembling the wings
Connect the wings fully to the fuselage. Fix them with the retaining pin
in the fuselage between the wings. To make sure the locking pin does
not become lost, afx it with a string inside the fuselage.
Fig. 34
49. Mounting / removing the elevator unit
The elevator unit is secured to the fuselage with a self-locking mechanism.
To open the mechanism, press the small ap forward on the underside
and remove the tail unit (rst unhook the elevator rudder rod).
Fig. 23
50. Final assembly
Afx the connected receiver using the enclosed adhesive tapes
⓴
and
㉑
to the fuselage underneath the closure plug.
There is a suitable molding for the antenna on the right half of the fuselage
in the rear canopy cutout. Lay the antenna ush against the canopy edge
and secure with an adhesive strip. For two antennas, guide the second
one backward through the air outlet of the left half of the fuselage and
secure with an adhesive strip.
