FITTING AILERON SERVOS
To install the aileron servos into the wing you will need the
following items :
- 2 servos
- Servos mounting screws and grommets as supplied with
servos.
- Servo control arms as supplied with the servos.
- Two aileron control rod assemblies supplied with the kit.
The assemblies consist of a metal rod with a plastic clevis
screwed onto one end.
- Low tack masking tape.
- 2 aileron control horn assemblies
2.1 Prepare the servos by fitting the rubber
grommets & ferrules supplied with your radio
Carefully remove the cover plates from the aileron servo
cavities. Ensure you know which cover plate is for the right
wing and which is for the left. Remove the white cover plates
and retain the mounting screws. Notice that there are wood-
en servo rails pre-installed into each servo cavity end. Locate
the wiring harness tubes that are protruding slightly into
each aileron servo cavity. The tube can be moved slightly at
this point. Check out the other end of each tube for a clean
position and then using C/A glue secure the wiring harness
tubes at the aileron servo cavity end.
Install a servo in each aileron servo cavity and connect the
servo wire to the servo extension wires and run the extension
wires through wiring harness tubes to the centre of the wing

Step 1 Consult your radio instruction manual and center each aileron servos by plugging it into the aileron channel
in the receiver. Turn on the transmitter and then the receiver. Center the aileron trim lever on the transmitter.
Remove the servo arm mounting screw and the servo arm.
Step 2 Mount the servo arm back on the servo. Position the arm to be parallel with the back edge of the wing. Screw
the arm into place with the servo arm mounting screw supplied with the servo.
Locate the two aileron control rods in the hardware bag. Ensure the clevises are screwed well onto the threaded
portion of the rod. Rotate and tug aggressively on the clevises and ensure that they are not loose on the rods.
Tape the ailerons into their neutral position so that they are even with the trailing edge of the wing and not pointing
either up or down.

Step 3 Ensure that the aileron control horns are screwed onto the threaded aileron control horn bolts and that both
control horns are in approximately the same place on their respective bolts.
Step 4 Connect the aileron servo rods to the aileron control horns.The one end with clevis will be attached to the
servo output arm.
Step 5 Connect the other end of the rod to the control horn pre-installed with an EZ connector
Step 6 Remove the masking tape holding the ailerons.
Step 7 In the case of computer radios the servos together by connecting them to the appropiate receiver channel.
In the case of analog radios couple the servos together using a Y harness
Step 8 Turn on your radio and activate the ailerons, using the aileron stick and ensure a smooth full motion can be
achieved.
Step 9 With the wing top side up and viewed from the back, ensure that moving the transmitter aileron stick to the
left raises the left aileron and lowers the right aileron. Movement of the stick to the left will roll the aircraft to the left.
(Counterclockwise roll of the wing when viewed from the back ).
Step 10 With the wing top side up and viewed from the back, ensure that moving the transmitter aileron stick to the
right raises the right aileron and lowers the left aileron. Movement of the stick to the right will roll the aircraft to the
right.

FITTING FLAP SERVOS
To install the aileron servos into the wing you will need
the following items :
- 2 servos
- Servo mounting screws and grommets as supplied
with the servo.
- Servo control arm as supplied with the servo.
- Two flap control rod assemblies
- Low tack masking tape.

FITTING THE HORZONTAL AND VER-
TICAL STABILIZERS
To install the stabilizers to the fuselage you will need.
- Fuselage
- Vertical stabilizer with pre-installed rudder
- Horizontal stabilizer with pre-installed elevator
5.2 The completed fuselage slot should look
like this
Vertical slot
Horizontal slot
5.1 Horizontal stabilizers with pre-installed elevator
5.3 Vertical stabilizers with pre-installed rudder
Check the fit of the horizontal stabilizer
in its slot. Make sure the tail is square
and centred to the fuselage by taking
measurements as shown in the dia-
grams on the right, but don’t glue any-
thing yet.

With the horizontal stabilizer correct-
ly aligned, mark the shape of the
fuselage on the top and bottom of
the tailplane using a water sol-
ublenon-permanent felt-tip pen as
shown here. 7.1 Mark the top of the horizontal
stabilizer
7.2 Followed by the bottom
Now remove the horizontal stabiliz-
er, using a sharp knife and a ruler
CAREFULLY cut 2mm inside the
marked lines and remove the cover-
ing on the top and bottom of the tail
as shown. Make sure you only cut
the film and not the wood, otherwise
the horizontal stabilizer wiil be
severely weakened.
8.1 Marked lines on horizontal
stab
8.2 Cutting inside the lines
8.3 Removed covering from top
surface
8.4 Exactly the same underneath 8.5 Clean off any traces of pen
Now apply sufficient epoxy to the top and bottom of the
horizontal stabilizer. Use 30 minute epoxy to ensure a
strong bond and give yourself plenty of working time.
Insert the horizontal stabilizer in its slot in the fuselage
and re-check the alignment as in Stage 9. Excess epoxy
should be cleaned off with a rag or tissue before it cures.
9.1 Apply plenty of epoxy 9.2 Slide the horizontal stabilizer
in place
9.3 Wipe off excess epoxy

Check the fit of the vertical stabilizer in its slot.
Make sure that it is glued square to the horizon-
tal stabilizer and fuselage
FITTING THE VERTICAL STABILIZER WITH RUDDER
10.1 Trial fit the vertical stabilizer onto fuselage.
11.1 Mark both sides of the verti-
cal stabilizer
11.2 Carefully cut through the
covering
11.3 Remove covering from both
sides
Mark the shape of the fuselage on the left and right
sides of the vertical stabilizer using a felt-tip pen. Now
remove the vertical stabilizer, using a sharp knife &
ruler, CAREFULLY cut just 2mm inside the marked
lines and remove the covering on both sides of the fin,
just as you did with the horizontal stabilizer, making
sure you only press hard enough to cut the covering,
not the vertical stabilizer.
Now apply sufficient epoxy to both sides and the bottom
of the vertical stabilizer. Use 30 minute epoxy to ensure
a strong bond and give yourself plenty of working time.
Insert the vertical stabilizer in its slot in the fuselage
and re-check the alignment. Excess adhesive should
be cleaned off with a rag or tissue before it cures.
