Adjust the deflection of the control surfaces to match the
specifications on page 14. You can reduce the amount of
throw by doing either or both of the following:
- From the servo end, move the clevis or EZ connector to a

hole in the servo arm that is closer to the servo output shaft.

- From the control horn end, move the horn out further on

the threaded bolts. Always confirm that the horn is still
thoroughly engaged with the threaded bolt after you have
adjusted it.

ADJUST CONTROL SURFACE THROW LIMITS

To install the stabilizers into the fuselage you will need:

- Fuselage
- 2 Vertical stabilizers with pre-installed rudders
- Right and left horizontal stabilizers with pre-installed
elevators

4A - The fuselage slots for the verti-
cal & horizontal stabilizers

4B - 2 Horizontal stabilizers with pre-
installed elevators

4C - 2 Vertical stabilizers with pre-

installed rudders

Vertical slot

Horizontal slot

STAGE 4

STAGE 21

FINAL RC SET-UP

STAGE 22

Step 22.1

Before starting the final set-up of the model,

switch on the radio and ensure that all trims are in their
neutral positions. Check that the aileron, elevator and rud-
der are centered. If any adjustments are needed, do these
by uncoupling the relevant clevis and turning it clockwise to
shorten the linkage or counter - clockwise to lengthen it.
Only when each control surface has been centered

mechanically in this way should you begin adjusting the
surface movement (or throw).

Step 22.2

Now confirm that the control surfaces are mov-

ing in the correct direction. Use the servo reversing switch-
es on your transmitter to reverse the direction of a servo if
necessary.

20B - The throttle servo controls the engine throttle using the throttle control
rod

20A - The throttle arm and clevis con-
nected to the engine throttle arm

With the throttle control arm clevis connected to the engine

throttle arm, move the throttle arm to roughly half throttle.
Look into the throat of the engine carburetor as you rotate

the throttle arm and select a position where the throttle
opening is about haft what it is when fully open. Install and
connect the throttle servo.

INSTALL & ADJUST THE THROTTLE CONTROL

STAGE 20

19C - With the servos and rudders at
neutral, connect the clevises and then
tighten the control horn set screws.

19E - Connecting the steering control
rod to the servo arm.

NOTE: In some market areas, the EZ
connector shown has been replaced
by a clevis.

19D - Connect the nose gear steering
control rod.

Step 19.3

Connect the control rods between the rudder servo arms & the rudder control horns. See 19B, 19C & 19D

Step 19.4

Connect the nose gear steering rod to the rudder servo as shown in 19D and 19E.

5A - Left and right horizontal stabilizers with pre-installed
elevators

Step 5.1

Locate the left and right horizontal stabilizers.

See 5A

Step 5.2

Trial fit the right and left horizontal stabilizers into

the fuselage slots. See 5B.

Do not glue anything yet!

Step 5.3

Remove both horizontal stabilizers. Apply suffi-

cient epoxy to the exposed wood of the left horizontal sta-
bilizer and into the left slot in the fuselage. Use 30 minute
epoxy. See 5C.

Step 5.4

Insert the left horizontal stabilizer into the fuse-

lage slot and adjust to match the distances shown in 5D

Step 5.5

Repeat step 6.4 for the right horizontal stabilizer.

Step 5.6

Wipe off the excess epoxy. See 5E

INSTALL THE HORIZONTAL STABILIZERS

STAGE 5

5B - Trial fit the horizontal stabilizers
into the fuselage slots

5G - After installation of both horizon-
tal stabilizers

5E -

Wipe off the excess epoxy

5F - Use 3mm steel rod or screw driv-
er to align the rudder hole guide

5D - Insert the left horizontal stabilizer
into the fuselage and adjust the dis-
tance

Pre-installed elevators

Left horizontal stabilizer

Right horizontal stabilizer

5C - Apply sufficient epoxy to the
exposed wood area
