Assembly instructions
•
Assemble the front, rear and side panels of the
boatstand (parts 1, 2 and 3) and glue the joints
securely.
•
Assemble the servo mount from the front and rear
supports (parts 4 and 5) and the base plate (part
6), and glue the joints. NOTE: the rectangular
notch in one of the supports is for the servo lead;
see the Stage photo.
•
Locate the rubber grommets supplied with the
servo; press them into the mounting lugs of the
rudder servo (part 7), and push the brass spacer
sleeves into the grommets from the underside. The
servo can now be screwed to the servo mount
assembly. Remove three arms from the four-armed
servo output device, leaving one long arm
attached. Drill out the outermost hole to 2 mm Ø,
and attach a swivel pushrod connector (part 8) to
the output arm.
•
NOTE: at this stage it is advisable to paint the hull
and the hatch cover in the colour of your choice;
the rudder system and the sponsons are only
screwed in place, and can easily be removed prior
to painting. Rub down the whole of the hull and
hatch cover using fine-grit abrasive paper (400-grit
or 600-grit) to ensure that the paint adheres
strongly. Any synthetic enamel colour paint should
be suitable; ask at your model shop if you are not
sure which type to choose.
•
Trim the servo mount to conform to the shape of
the hull (part 9), and glue it in place as shown; the
distance between the motor mount and the servo
mount should be about 30 mm. NOTE: before
reaching for the glue, check that the hatch cover
(part 10) still fits on the hull; there is very little
clearance between the swivel pushrod connector
and the hatch cover.
•
Push the rubber bellows (part 11) over the tube on
the outside of the hull and glue it in place.
•
Assemble the tiller (part 12) by pushing the collet
into the plastic moulding and fitting the socket-head
screw in the collet. Remove two arms from the
tiller; the finished article should look as shown in
the photo. Drill out the outermost hole to 2 mm Ø
and mount a second swivel pushrod connector
(part 8) in the hole. Note that this connector must
be fitted on the underside of the tiller arm.
•
Fit the rudder (part 13) in the rudder bush, and
tighten the screw in the tiller collet (part 12) to
secure the rudder. Push the water-cooling hose
onto the stub tube on the rudder.
•
NOTE: the following description refers to the
standard power system. The procedure for the
brushless power system is the same, except that
the suppressor capacitor is not required. Attach the
suppressor capacitor (part 15) to the motor (part
14) by soldering it across the two motor terminals
to form a bridge. Solder the speed controller cables
to the motor terminals at the same time.
IMPORTANT: take care to maintain correct
polarity! Temporarily connect the RC system and
