Parts needed Tools and Adhesives needed

STAGE 1 – WING ASSEMBLY.

JOINING THE WING HALVES

1.1Locate the wing joiner (also called Dihedral brace). Using the ruler, determine the center of the wing joiner and

mark it with a pencil as illustrated in 1A. Also mark a center line on each of the dowel guides.

1A- Preparation of wing joiner and dowel guides. 1B- Trial fit the wing joiner and dowel guides

1.4 Apply plenty of 30 minute epoxy to one end of the wing joiner, using a stir stick or epoxy brush. Carefully insert

the joiner into the first wing panel as illustrated in 1D, 1E and 1F, then wipe off the excess epoxy that squeezes

out of the joint with a cloth or tissue. Repeat this process several times to ensure that the wing joiner and cavity

are well coated in epoxy. When the wing joiner & cavity are well coated with 30 minute epoxy, insert the joiner to

the center line, wipe away any excess epoxy and let dry. (Note: Do not use 5 minute epoxy or CA to join the wings)

1.2 Trial fit the wing joiner into the wing panels. It should insert smoothly up to the center line as illustrated in 1B.

Now slide the other wing panel onto the wing joiner until the wing panels meet. If the fit is overly tight, sand the wing

joiner slightly and try again.

1.3 Insert the dowel guides into one of the wing panels all the way to the center lines. Apply CA glue to secure the

dowels into their places as illustrated in 1B and 1C. Do not apply CA glue to the wing joiner.

1C- Apply CA glue to secure dowels into their places 1D- Apply plenty of epoxy glue to the wing

joiner.

2.1 When the epoxy has cured in Stage 1, trial fit the second wing

panel onto the wing joiner first to ensure that the two panels fit

without an excessive gap.

2.2 Now apply plenty of epoxy to the wing joiner and wing root ribs of

both wing panels. Use only 30 minute epoxy to ensure a strong bond

and give yourself plenty of working time. As described in the Step 1.4,

repeatedly apply epoxy and insert into the wing joiner cavity, the

epoxy should ooze from the joint and the excess should be cleaned

off with a rag or tissue before it cures.

2.3 Use low tack masking tape to hold the two panels together until

the glue cures.

1E- Carefully insert the joiner all the way to the cen-

ter line

2A- Apply plenty of 30 minute epoxy

glue to all surfaces.

2C- Use low tack masking tape to hold tightly

together.

3.1 Once the epoxy has cured completely (allow several hours at least), the tape can be carefully removed from

the wing panels. Peel the tape back on itself… do not pull upright away from the wing. To seal and finish the joint

in the wings, a roll of wing joiner tape has been supplied.Starting on the bottom side of the wing, stick the tape cen-

trally over the joint ensuring that it is pressed down firmly as you work around the wing. Wrap the tape all the way

around the wing joint in one piece, starting and finishing at the wiring harness cavities at the bottom of the wing.

Center line pointing up

1F - Wipe off the excess epoxy then allow to cure.

2B- Align the two wing panels and slowly close the

gap until the wing root ends are firmly in contact

with each other

3C- Trim off the excess tape.

3B- Continue applying the tape

over the bottom of the wing,

pressing down firmly as you go.

3A- Apply tape over the joint,

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.

5.2 Mount the servo arm back on the servo so that the arm is parallel with the back edge of the wing. Screw the

arm into place with the servo arm mounting screw supplied with the servo.

5.3 Locate the two aileron control rods in the hardware bag (see 5A). 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.

5.5 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.

4.1 Carefully remove the white cover plates from the aileron

servo cavities. Ensure you know which cover plate is for the

right wing and which is for the left. Notice that there are wood-

en servo rails pre-installed into each servo cavity end.

4.2 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.

4.3 Install a servo in each aileron servo cavity and connect the
