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 ULTIMATE is made
from natural materials and minor ad-
justments may have to be made.

The control surfaces, including the
ailerons, elevators, and rudder, are
prehinged with hinges installed, but the
hinges are not glued in place. It is
imperativethat you properly adhere the
hingesin placeper 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 fromthewingpanel
and aileron and place a T-pin in the center of
each hinge. Slide each hinge into the wing
panel until the T-pin is snug against the wing
panel. This will help ensure an equal amount
ofhingeison either sideofthehingeline when
the aileron is mounted to the aileron.
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.

Work the aileron up and down several
times to “work in” the hinges and check
for proper movement.
Glue the elevator hinges in place using the
same tectniques used to hinge the ailerons.
HINGING THE ELEVATOR.
Note:
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
applying medium pressure, trying to separate
the aileron from the wing panel. Use caution
not to crush the wing structure.
7) Repeat this process with the other wing
panel, securely hinging the aileron in place.
6) Using C/A remover/debonder and a
papertowel, remove anyexcess C/A gluethat
may have accumulated on the wing or in the
aileronhinge area.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY
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.

FUEL TANK.
2) Usinga modeling knife, cut onelength
ofsiliconfuel line. Connectoneend of theline
tothe weighted fuel pick up andthe otherend
to the nylon pick up tube.
3) Carefully bend the second nylon tube
up at a 45º angle. This tube is the vent tube.
Silicon tubing not inclued.
Battery.
Thread locker.
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.
5) With the stopper assembly in place,
the weighted pick-up should rest away from
therear of the tank and move freely insidethe
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.
Important: When the stopper assembly is in-
stalled 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.
Carefully use a lighter or heat gun to
permenently set the angle of the vent tube.

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.
You should mark which tube is the vent
and which is the fuel pickup when you attach
fuel tubing to the tubes in the stopper. Once
thetank isinstalled inside the fuselage, itmay
be difficult to determine which is which.

Blow through one of the lines to ensure
the fuel lines have not become kinked inside
the fuel tank compartment. Air should flow
through easily.
