Warning

Before beginning the assembly of the Extra 260, remove each part from its bag for inspection. Closely inspect

the fuselage, wing panels, rudder, and stabilizer for damage. If you find any damaged or missing parts, contact

the place of purchase.

If you find any wrinkles in the covering, use a heat gun or covering iron to remove them. Use caution while

working around areas where the colors overlap to prevent separating the colors.

The servos used for the control surfaces of the Extra 260 must have a minimum of 80 ounce inch of

servo torque. In the prototype Extras, we used JR8231 and JR9411 servos. On the rudder we used one

JR8411SA servo.

This manual is divided into sections to help make assembly easier to understand and to provide breaks between

each major section. Remember to take your time and follow the directions.

Using the Manual

Required Parts

• Elevator (left and right) • Fuselage

• Rudder • Hinges (17)

• Wing panel (right and left)

• Aileron (left and right)

• Stabilizer (left and right)

Required Tools and Adhesives

• 30-minute epoxy • Syringe

• Sandpaper (coarse) • Toothpicks

• Pacer Hinge Glue (PT-55)

• Razor saw • Petroleum jelly

Properly hinging the control surfaces on giant-scale

models is vitally important. Poorly installed hinges

affect the model’s precision and control response

and can also be dangerous. Each and every hinge

needs to be securely bonded in place in both the

flying surface and the control surface. The hinge pivot

points need to be exactly parallel to each other and

precisely located on the center of the hinge line.

   Step 1

Sand each end of the hinge point hinge using coarse

sandpaper. This will improve the bond of the epoxy

to the hinge. Apply a thin coat of Petroleum jelly to

the hinge point to prevent the epoxy from gluing the

hinge surface.

   Step 2

Mix 1 ounce of 30-minute epoxy. Using a glue

syringe or toothpick, place a sufficient amount of

30-minute epoxy into one of the hinge pockets in

the aileron leading edge only. Install one of the

hinge points until the hinge pin center is flush with

the leading edge of the aileron. Some epoxy should

ooze out of the pocket as the hinge is installed. If

not, remove the hinge and apply more epoxy. After

gluing a few hinges, you’ll get the hang of just how

much epoxy is needed. Wipe away any excess epoxy

with rubbing alcohol. Recheck that the center of the

hinge pin is flush and parallel with the leading edge.

Continue installing hinges in the leading edge of

the aileron. The control surfaces (ailerons) will be

installed after the epoxy is fully cured.

Note: Be sure that the hinge pivot pins are

parallel and flush to the aileron leading edge.

It’s important to frequently mix a fresh batch

of 30-minute epoxy in order to achieve good

glue joint penetration. If you notice the epoxy

becoming thicker, then mix a new batch.

Hint: You can also use Pacer PT-55

Hinge Glue to glue the hinges. Follow the

instructions here as well as on the glue bottle

to achieve the best results.

Section 1 – Hinging the Control Surfaces

   Step 3

Allow the glue to fully cure for at least 6 hours.

When cured, work each hinge throughout its full

motion several times using your hands. This will

break free any epoxy that may have found its way into

the hinge joint. Move the hinge throughout its full

travel until no resistance is felt. This may take

as many as 40 or 50 times.

   Step 4

Mix 1 ounce of 30-minute epoxy or use Pacer PT-55

hinge glue. Place a sufficient amount of glue in each

of the hinge pockets in one wing panel.

   Step 5

Carefully attach the aileron to the wing, making sure

the hinges are inserted in their respective hinge

pockets. Press the aileron and wing together such

that less than a 1/64" hinge line gap exists between

the aileron and wing. The bevels should virtually

touch. Use a paper towel and rubbing alcohol to wipe

away any visible epoxy around the hinges.

   Step 6

Double-check the hinge gap and allow the glue to

fully cure for at least 6 hours.

   Step 7

When fully cured, move each control surface

throughout its travel range several times to break

away any epoxy in the hinge. Be sure to deflect the

surface fully.

Section 1 – Hinging the Control Surfaces

  Step 8

Use a razor saw to cut off the first section of one of

the hinges. This is done to clear the tube installed

in the stabilizer.

  Step 9

Glue the elevator hinges in place using the same

techniques used to hinge the ailerons. The

shortened hinge will be installed into the stabilizer

towards the root.

 Step 10

Repeat Steps 1 through 9 for the remaining aileron

and elevator.

Hint: Combining the left and right wing/

aileron and/or left and right stabilizer/elevator

while waiting for glue to cure will make this

section move along much quicker.

 Step 11

Since all that’s left is the rudder, this is a good time to

glue it as well. Follow Steps 1 through 7 to complete

hinging the control surfaces.

Section 1 – Hinging the Control Surfaces

Required Parts

• Wing panel w/aileron (right and left)

• Stabilizer w/elevator (left and right)

Required Tools and Adhesives

• Straight edge/ruler • Felt-tipped pen

• Scissors • Hobby knife w/#11 blade

• Covering Iron (HAN101)

• Clear UltraCote® (HANU964)

It is a good idea to be sure that the aileron and

elevator hinge lines be sealed airtight Sealing the

hinge line has several advantages. A sealed hinge line

gives a greater control response for a given control

deflection. It also offers more precise, consistent

control response and makes trimming easier.

Sealing the aileron and elevator hinge line is highly

recommended. Failure to do so may cause control

surface flutter, resulting in a crash.

   Step 1

Cut a piece of Clear UltraCote® for sealing the

ailerons to approximately 1" x 32". Fold the UltraCote

down the center with the adhesive side to the outside

making a sharp crease at the fold.

   Step 2

Remove the backing from the UltraCote. Place the

folded crease side into the center of the hinge line

on the bottom of the wing. Using a straight edge as

shown, hold one side of the covering in place while

ironing down the opposite side with a sealing iron.

We recommend setting the iron temperature to 320°

for this procedure.

   Step 3

Fully deflect the aileron in the up position. Place

the straight edge over the hinge line covering that

you just ironed down in Step 2 with the edge of the

straight edge placed firmly at the bottom of the hinge

line as shown. Iron down this side of the covering,

making sure the aileron is fully deflected.

 Step 4

Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for the remaining aileron

hinge gap.

 Step 5

Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for both elevator halves

using a 1" x 15" piece of clear covering.

Section 2 – Sealing the Hinge Gaps

Required Parts

• Wing panel (right and left)

• 3 1/2" aileron linkage (2)

• 8-32 x 2 1/4" control horn screw (2)

• 8-32 flange nut (2)

• Molded swivel link (2)

• Ball link for swivel link (2)

• 4-40 x 1/2" socket head screw (2)

• 4-40 lock nut (2)

• Ball link for servo arm (2)

Required Tools and Adhesives

• Drill • Drill bit: 1/16"

• Ruler

• Phillips screwdriver (small)

• 12" Servo Extension (JRPA098) (2)

• 3D 1/2 Servo Arm 4-40: JR (HAN3578) (2)

  Step 1

Install the servo hardware (grommets and eyelets)

included with the servo.

  Step 2

Plug a 12" servo extension onto the servo. Either

tie the servo leads together, using a commercially

available connector, or use unwaxed dental floss to

secure the extensions to prevent them from coming

loose during flight.

  Step 3

Tie a weight to a piece of string. A wheel collar works

great in this application. Lower the string into the

wing from the aileron servo opening. Hold the wing

with the tip upwards and let the weight drop out

through the wing root for the servo.
