Summary

Recommended Settings

Wing Servo Installation

Prepare Servo Pockets

Cut and remove skin and foam to create servo pockets, ensuring sufficient depth and wire channels.

Prepare Aileron Control Horns

Prepare control horns by re-drilling holes and marking pushrod exit locations on the wing.

Refine Servo Pockets and Channels

Clean servo pockets, remove internal walls, and create guide holes for pushrod channels.

Shape Pushrod Channels and Prepare Linkage

Elongate pushrod channels and prepare pushrod wire ends with bends for control horn connection.

Install Pushrods and Prepare Servos

Temporarily install pushrods, modify servo arms, and set electronic neutral point for ailerons.

Finalize Pushrod Connections

Cut, bend, and connect pushrod wires to servo arms and control horns, ensuring alignment.

Secure Servos and Control Horns

Place servos in pockets, glue control horns, and secure servos with shims to prevent movement.

Reinforce Pockets and Plan Wing Connector

Reinforce servo pockets with epoxy and plan the installation of an optional wing connector.

Install Wing Connector and Wire Harness

Create fuselage hole, solder connector to servos, prepare harness, and glue wing connector.

Connect Wing to Fuselage and Attach Covers

Connect wing to fuselage via connector, secure with epoxy, attach servo covers, and prepare tail boom.

Tail Assembly

Mount Horizontal Stabilizer

Position and glue the horizontal tail mount to the tail boom, ensuring alignment with the wing.

Attach Vertical Tail

Verify and correct the squareness of the vertical tail on the boom before the glue sets.

Fuselage Servo Installation

Mount Fuselage Servos

Glue fuselage servos to the sidewall, optionally using a plywood base for easier removal.

Install Elevator Control Horn

Cut slot for elevator horn, trim horn, and create a keeper for the control cable.

Control Linkage Installation

Install Rudder and Elevator Control Horns

Install rudder and elevator control horns, and create torsion springs for control surfaces.

Connect Control Cables

Route rudder and elevator cables through the boom, loop, and crimp them to control horns.

Secure Control Cables

Stretch and crimp control cables to servo arms, ensuring neutral alignment and tautness.

Launch Blade Installation

Prepare Launch Blade Location

Mark and prepare the wing tip for launch blade installation, considering factory-recommended hard points.

Install Launch Blade

Glue the launch blade into the prepared hole, optionally with reinforcement for strong launchers.

Ballast System

Install Ballast Bracket

Glue a plywood bracket under the canopy opening for attaching ballast skewers.

Insert Ballast Skewers

Insert ballast skewers into the fuselage, ensuring servos allow space for ballast insertion.
