❑ Carefully thread one ange-head machine screw through the predrilled
hole and into the aluminum wing joiner tube. Tighten the screw gently.
Be careful not to overtighten it or you might strip the aluminum.
The machine screw will cut threads into the softer
aluminum without a problem. If you want to, you could use a 3mm
tap to cut the threads, but it's not really necessary.
❑ Firmly push one outer wing panel tightly up against the center wing
panel.
❑ Repeat the previous procedures to install one ange-head machine
screw into the center wing panel.
❑ Repeat the previous procedures to install the second outer wing panel to the center wing panel, using the remaining two ange-
head machine screws provided.
When you disassemble the wing panels, we suggest leaving the wing joiner tubes installed in the center wing panel.
❑ Glue the radiator scoops onto the wing assembly. The shorter radiator
scoops are glued to the center wing panel and the longer radiator scoops
are glued to the outer wing panels.
If you have installed the optional retractable landing gear, make sure to balance the airplane with the landing
gear retracted.
BALANCING, CONTROL THROWS AND FLYING TIPS
The C/G is located 3-3/4" - 4-1/8" (95mm - 105mm) back from the leading edge of the wing, measured at the sides of the center fuselage pod.
Ailerons: 7/8" (22mm) Up and 5/16" (8mm) Down
Elevator: 3/4" (19mm) Up and 5/8" (16mm) Down
Rudders: 5/8" (16mm) Right and 5/8" (16mm) Left
Flaps: Down As Much as Possible
The control throws are measured at the widest point
of the control surfaces.
●
Because the landing gear retracts rearward, there will be a change in the airplane's trim. While the change in trim is small, it is
noticeable and you should be aware of it.
●
When you deploy the aps, the airplane will have a tendency to balloon upward and will require some down elevator trim to
counteract this. We suggest the rst few times that you deploy the aps at altitude until you are familiar with the ight characteristics of
the airplane with aps down. You may want to program elevator/ap mixing in your transmitter so that the required amount of down
elevator is automatically commanded when you deploy the aps.
