Instruction Manual.

2)Removeeachhinge from thewingpanel

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

each hinge. Slide each hinge into the wing

panel until the T-pin is snug against the wing

panel. This will help ensure an equal amount

ofhingeis on eithersideofthe hinge linewhen

the aileron is mounted to the aileron.

The control surfaces, including the

ailerons, elevators, and rudder, are

prehinged with hinges installed, but the

hinges are not glued in place. It is

imperativethatyouproperlyadherethe

hingesinplaceperthestepsthatfollow

using a high-quality thin C/A glue.

3) Slide the wing panel on the aileron 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

1) Carefully remove the aileron from one

of the wing panels. Note the position of the

hinges.

4) Deflect the aileron and completely

saturate each hinge with thin C/A glue. The

aileronsfrontsurface should lightlycontactthe

wing during this procedure. Ideally, when the

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.

Thehingeis constructedofa special

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.

WING ASSEMBLY.

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.

6) Using C/A remover/debonder and a

papertowel,removeanyexcess C/A glue that

may have accumulated on the wing or in the

aileronhingearea.

5)Turn the wing paneloveranddeflectthe

aileron in the opposite direction from the

opposite side. Apply thin C/A glue to each

hinge,making surethatthe C/Apenetratesinto

both the aileron and wing panel.

Workthe aileronupand downseveral

times to “work in” the hinges and

check for proper movement.

Note:

HINGING THE ELEVATOR.

Glue the elevator hinges in place using the

same techniques used to hinge the ailerons.

HINGING THE RUDDER.

Glue the rudder hinges in place using the

same techniques used to hinge the ailerons.

8) Reinstall the servo horn by sliding the

connector over the pushrod wire. Center the

throttle stick and trim and install the servo horn

perpendicular to the servo center line.

9) Move the throttle stick to the closed position

and move the carburetor to closed. Use a 2.5mm

hex wrench to tighten the screw that secures

the throttle pushrod wire. Make sure to use

threadlock on the screw so it does not vibrate

loose.

7) Slide the throttle pushrod wire into the tube.

Position the engine between the mounts. Use

four M4x30mm machine screws to secure the

engine to the mount as shown.

5) Slide the pushrod tube in the firewall and

guide it through the fuel tank mount. Use

medium C/A to glue the tube to the firewall and

the fuel tank mount.
