FINAL ASSEMBLY
Complete the Radio Installation
❏
1. Plug the elevator and rudder servo into the appropriate
channels in the receiver. Plug the motor wires into the speed
control and plug the ailerons into the “Y” connector. Plug
the aileron “Y” connector and the speed control into the
appropriate channels in the receiver.

❏
2. Place the fl ight battery into the battery tray. Turn on the
transmitter and then plug the fl ight battery into the speed
controls.
Do not arm the motors!
WIth the radio on and all
control surfaces functioning, make certain that the control
surfaces and the throttle respond in the correct direction as
shown in the diagram. If any of the controls respond in the
wrong direction, use the servo reversing in the transmitter
to reverse the servos connected to those controls. Be
certain the control surfaces have remained centered. Adjust
if necessary. You should make any adjustments to the
servos and the servo arms
now
. In a future step you will
be installing the blisters over the openings in the fuselage,
making adjustments to the servos diffi cult.
❏
3. Make all of the connections for the ailerons and the
motors. Then mount the wing to the fuselage. Make any
adjustment required to the aileron and double check to be
sure the motors are running the correct direction. Disconnect
the battery and turn off the transmitter.
Finishing Touches
❏
1. Locate the fuselage plug and insert it into the hole in
back of the step of the fuselage. After each fl ight it is a good
idea to remove the plug and drain any water that may have
gotten into the fuselage.
❏
2. On both sides of the fuselage are mold dimples. On each
of the dimples drill a 1/16" [1.6mm] hole through the fuselage.
❏
3. Install a strut into each of the holes with a 2 x 10mm
[3/8"] washer head screw. When installing the screw do not
push too hard against the fuselage causing it to buckle. If
necessary support the fuselage by putting one hand inside
of the fuselage for support.
