6WING ASSEMBLY/ENGINE POD ASSEMBLYThe tip floats are attached to the wing with the furnished stickybacked Velcro. Use a square on both the front and back of each tipfloat. Position the tip floats on the outer bay of each wing with thefront of the float about 1/2" back from the leading edge of the wing.Set the wing aside for now.Engine Pod AssemblyThe firewall and firewall braces should be glued to the enginepylon. Also, holes for the engine mount, reinforcing screws, fuel lines,and throttle should be pre-drilled. If any of these holes are not drilledin your firewall, you will have to drill them accordingly.Screw the two 4 X 35mm self tapping screws through the firewallinto the pylon to reinforce the joint. It is suggested that you use epoxyto coat the entire firewall, front and back. This will fuelproof it plusreinforce the glue joints. If you get epoxy in the holes, wipe it outwhile the glue is wet, or drill it out when the glue is set.Secure the engine mount assembly on the firewall using the fourscrews and blind nuts furnished. (Normally, the engine is side-mount-ed with the cylinder head on the right.)The ailerons are in place with hinges already in their slots.Remove any tape that may be holding things in place. Hinge theailerons by securing the "CA" hinges in place. Begin by making surethe CA hinges are in proper position and the ailerons have minimalgap between them and the trailing edge of the wing. (Have a papertowel ready in case you have to mop up excess glue.) Hold the wingup on the leading edge and, working from the bottom of the wing,carefully put a few drops of THIN CA where each hinge goes into thewing. It should wick down into the wing. Do the same, working fromthe top of the wing. Turn the wing over so it is resting on the trailingedge and repeat where the hinges go into the ailerons. When done,you should have applied thin CA to all surfaces of each hinge. Afterthe glue has "fired", make sure the ailerons are free to move by flexingback and forth. Also make sure the glue joint is secure by tugging onthe ailerons.Cut the covering material away from the aileron servo cutout hole.Put the plywood aileron servo tray in position and mark the outer edgesof the plate on the covering material. Being careful to not cut into thebalsa, remove the covering material where the aileron servo tray willglue to the wing. Glue the aileron servo tray into position.Mount the aileron servo in place. Screw the nylon horns ontothe torque rods until the top of the horn is flush with the top of thethreaded portion of the torque rod. Link the servo to the ailerontorque rods using the threaded rods furnished. Use a clevis on thetorque rod (threaded) end and a "Z" bend on the servo arm end (non-threaded). Adjust for neutral with the servo centered.Photo 1Photo 2Photo 3Photo 6Photo 5Photo 4 |
