couple of jars or bowls handy to hold
the small parts after you open the
bags.
Pleasetrialfitallparts.Makesureyou
have the correct parts and that they
fit and are aligned properly before
gluing! This will ensure proper as-
sembly as the EXTRA 260 is made
from natural materials and minor ad-
justments may have to be made.
The paint and plastic parts used in
this kit are fuel proof. However, they

The control surfaces, including the
ailerons,elevators, and rudder,are prehinged
with hinges installed, but the hinges are not
gluedinplace.Itisimperativethatyouproperly
adhere the hinges in place per the steps that
follow using a high-quality thin C/A glue.
1) Carefully remove the aileron from one
of the wing panels. Note the position of the
hinges.
2)Removeeach hinge from thewingpanel
and aileron and place a T-pin in the center of
each hinge. Slide each hinge into the aileron
untiltheT-pinis snug against the aileron.This
will help ensure an equal amount of hinge is
oneithersideofthehingelinewhentheaileron
is mounted to the wing panel.
HINGING THE AILERONS.
Note:
3) Slide the aileron on the wing panel until
there is only a slight gap. The hinge is now
centered on the wing panel and aileron.
Remove the T-pins and snug the aileron
against the wing panel.A gap of 1/64” or less
shouldbe maintained betweenthe wing panel
andaileron.

4)Deflect the aileron and completely
saturate each hinge with thin C/A glue. The
aileronsfrontsurfaceshould lightly contact the
wing during this procedure. Ideally, when the
hinges are glued in place, a 1/64” gap or less
will be maintained throughout the lengh of the
aileron to the wing panel hinge line.
Note:
The hinge is constructed of a special
materialthatallowstheC/Atowickorpenetrate

HINGING THE ELEVATOR.
Glue the elevator hinges in place using the
same tectniques used to hinge the ailerons.
HINGING THE RUDDER.
Glue the rudder hinges in place using the
same tectniques used to hinge the ailerons.
INSTALLING THE AILERON SERVOS.
Note: Work the aileron up and down several
times to “work in” the hinges and check for
proper movement.
Repeat the procedure for the other
wing haft.
Because the size of servos differ, you
mayneedtoadjust the size of theprecutopen-
ing in the mount. The notch in the sides of
themountallowtheservoleadtopassthrough.
We recommended to use long servos arm
(70mmdiameter) for allservos without throttle
servo.
Install the rubber grommets and brass
collets onto the aileron servo. Test fit the
servo into the aileron servo mount.
Using a small weight (Weighted fuel pick-up
workswell) and thread, feedthestring through
the wing as indicated.

applying medium pressure, trying to separate
the aileron from the wing panel. Use caution
not to crush the wing structure.
8)Afterbothailerons are securelyhinged,
firmly grasp the wing panel and aileron to
make sure the hinges are securely glued and
cannot be pulled out. Do this by carefully
7) Repeat this process with the other wing
panel, securely hinging the aileron in place.
5)Turn the wingpanelover anddeflect the
aileron in the opposite direction from the
opposite side. Apply thin C/A glue to each
hinge,makingsure that the C/Apenetratesinto
both the aileron and wing panel.
6) Using C/A remover/debonder and a
papertowel, remove anyexcessC/A glue that
may have accumulated on the wing or in the
aileronhinge area.

5) With the stopper assembly in place,
the weighted pick up should rest away from
therear of the tank and move freely inside the
tank. The top of the vent tube should rest just
below the top of the tank. It should not touch
the top of the tank.
6) When satisfied with the alignment of
the stopper assembly tighten the 3 x 20mm
machine screw until the rubber stopper ex-
pands and seals the tank opening. Do not
overtighten the assembly as this could cause
the tank to split.
Attach the silicone fuel and pressure pipes
tothetank. The lowerpipeis the ‘feed’andthe
uppertwo the ‘pressureand fill’. Thefill pipeis
the next pipe.
1) Using a modeling knife, carefully cut
off the rear portion of one of the 3 nylon tubes
leaving 1/2” protruding from the rear of the
stopper. This will be the fuel pick up tube.
2) Usinga modeling knife, cut onelength
ofsiliconfuel line. Connect oneend of theline
tothe weighted fuel pick up andthe other end
to the nylon pick up tube.
3) Carefully bend the second nylon tube
up at a 45º angle. This tube is the vent tube.
INSTALLING THE STOPPERASSEMBLY.
FUEL TANK.
Carefully use a lighter or heat gun to
permenently set the angle of the vent tube.
Important: When the stopper assembly is
installed in the tank, the top of the vent tube
should rest just below the top surface of the
tank. It should not touch the top of the tank.
4) Test fit the stopper assembly into the
tank. It may be necessary to remove some of
the flashing around the tank opening using a
modeling knife. If flashing is present, make
sure none falls into the tank.

You should mark which tube is the vent
and which is the fuel pick up when you attach
fuel tubing to the tubes in the stopper. Once
thetank is installed inside thefuselage, itmay
be difficult to determine which is which.
