6. Cut the holes for the servos into the bottom wing. Use
the fuselage frame as a guide. The photos above show the
top and bottom of the wing.
❏
7. Cut slots for mounting the receiver box, if you will be
using it. These holes can be seen to the right of the servo
holes in the top photo. (See page 11, step 1.)
Note: If your receiver is too large for the receiver box, use
double-sided tape to hold the receiver in place.
In the following steps the top wing will be installed with six
struts that hold the two wings in position. There are three
types of struts; one with a motor attached, one with notches
in the rear end and one with no notches. In addition, the top
and bottom of each strut has a curved airfoil shape. The
more curved end of this airfoil faces the front of the model.
It is important that these struts are installed correctly in the
following steps.
❏
1. Install the struts in the bottom wing as shown in the
photo above. Notice that the motors on the inner struts face
the inside of the model. The outer struts have a notch in the
rear edge at the top and bottom of the strut. This notch is
used to attach a string in a later step. This notch can be
seen in the photo for step 3.
❏
2. Before completing this step refer to steps 3, 4 and 5 to
be sure that the struts are installed correctly and that the
notches in the outer struts are aligned so that the strings
will align with the posts on the fuselage. Once you are
certain the struts are installed correctly, use a white plastic
strut clip to hold the ends of the struts to the wing. Two clips
are required for each strut.
Note: The clips can be hard to install. Hold the strut carefully
with one hand while pressing the clip onto the end of the
strut with the other hand. Use the tips of two fingers near the
center of the clip and push the clip while rocking it into
place. Do not use a tool. If you slip you could poke a hole in
the wing.
