Wood Formers Assembly
Locate the wood formers in the kit
as in the photo.
Before proceeding to gluing the wood formers, you
need to first glue the front and the rear fuselage halves
together !
Glue in Formers
F 4 and F 5
Open up a hole in the wing stub location on the fuselage.
Fit the wing spar former through the wing stub hole.
Move the former around until the top and bottom of
the former sits tight against the sides of the hole.
Tack glue in place only, further adjustment will be made
after installing the mechanic.
Location of the wing former viewed from the inside.
Locate formers 3 in the former
pack and glue them to the inside
of the fuselage about 5 mm behind the
canopy opening.
After gluing the former F3 trial fit the baseboard
into the fuselage. Trim formers F 4 and F 3
to fit the base board. Make sure the baseboard is
centered. Do not glue the base board at this time.
Measure about 8 cm from the rear top
opening of the main fuselage. Mark the location.
This is the location where the main shaft sits.
Fit the mechanic onto the base board, line up the
4 mounting holes on the base board with the mounting
holes of the mechanic. Tack glue the base board onto
the mechanics. Hot glue gun works well.
Fit the mechanic and base board assembly into the
fuselage, move the assembly around until it is centered
and the main shaft is at the premarked location.
Once satisfied with the location, use a marker and mark the
outline and the 4 mounting hole locations on the inside
fuselage bottom. Drill the 4 holes from the inside out. Detach the
base board from the mechanic and glue it to the fueslage. Make
sure that the 4 mounting holes on the base board, aligns with the
4 holes in the fuselage bottom.
For long length motors, a hole needs to
be made at the motor location. The photo
shows the location for the use of Align motors.
If you are using Logo mechanics or a different
motor other than Align, you can leave the hole out.
However, for hot climates we recommend at
least a smaller diameter hole for motor cooling.
Landing Gear Assembly
Locate the Landing gear A arm support
in the former
First assemble the A arm support and
glue to the inside of the fuselage.
The top of the A arm support should align
with the mounting location for the top of the
landing gear strut.
Proceed on to opening up the holes
for the landing gear struts.
Open up an rectangular hole on the
top of the sponson for the landing
gear strut to go through.
The approximate dimension is
24 mm long and 14 mm wide.
The bottom hole for the landing gear strut
is approximately 54 mm long and 17 mm wide.
Drill through and mount the top landing
gear strut first. Insert the lower gear strut through the
bottom hole. Screw the lower strut to the aluminium
landing gear cross member on both sides.
Move the assembly around until a desired angle of
the landing gear is achieved. Tack glue the cross member
in place. Do a final alignment check, then drill 2 holes
from the inside, using the 2 holes on the alum. cross
member as template. Secure the cross member using
screws and bolts supplied in the landing gear parts bag.
Once the landing gear has been installed check
for clearence and the operation of the landing gear
compression.
Elbow Gear Box Assembly
Locate the elbow gear box formers and parts bag.
Push out all the Laser cut wood parts and lightly
sand the edges to prepare them for assembly.
Start by assembling the bottom assembly of
the elbow gear box. Note that all parts
are arranged in alphabetical order.
Use Epoxy glue here.
Glue the top plate onto the frame work.
Bottom elbow assembly complete.
Assemble the upper elbow gear box assembly as
in the photo.
Locate all parts for the tension wheel and pulley wheel.
Please note that the pulley wheel requires 3 shims on each
side, between the wheel and the bearing.
Install the tension wheel and pulley wheel into the upper elbow
assembly.
Slide the upper elbow assembly into the complete
lower elbow assembly. Please note the white tension
wheel should be on top and the black pulley wheel
should be on the bottom.
Familiarize with the attachment of the top elbow gear
box and the bottom part of the gear box. The 2 assemblies
interlocks. Push the rear flanges into the long holes in the
bottom asembly and slide forward to lock. When assembly
is correct it will look like the photo. At this time DO NOT GLUE
the 2 assemblies together. Take them apart and proceed to the
next step.
Slide the top elbow assembly into the fuselage tail from
the bottom as in photo.
View from the bottom.
Now slide the lower elbow gear box assembly
into the tail from the rear forwards. Note
that the rounded part faces the bottom.
Now combine the upper and lower elbow gear box
assemblies and interlock them together as you
did in the dry fit/trial run in the earlier steps.
Another view showing the correct
interlocking position of the upper
and lower elbow assemblies.
The front of the upper assembly should contact
the lower assembly in the front like in the photo.
Once all fits snug, glue with epoxy the 2 assemblies.
Omly glue the 2 assemblies together, do not glue the
assemblies to the fuselage at this time.
