k) Installing the main gears
Install the main gear wires in the wooden supports of the wing. The arms must
point outwards.
Secure the main gear wires using the plastic strips and 2.5 x 8 mm screws.
Put the main gears onto the arms and align them in a straight line. Fasten the
main gears using the grub screws (1). This screw connection must be secured
using a drop of threadlocker.
l) Installing the receiver
The receiver (1) is attached in the fuselage in front of the elevator servo and
the rudder servo using servo tape. The aerial cable of the receiver (2) must be
installed to the end of the fuselage to the outside through the vent hole. We
recommend installing the aerial wire in a piece of Bowden tube in the fuselage.
Practical tip: Whenever the wing is mounted/dismounted, four plug connections
(for the two ailerons and the two speed controllers) have to be connected/
disconnected. It is therefore recommended to use suitable extension cables.
Important! Speed controllers are usually equipped with BEC systems which
cannot be switched off and serve as power supply for the receiver unit. To
protect the receiver unit and especially the speed controllers from damage,
one BEC system must be disabled before both speed controllers are used
simultaneously for the first time. For this purpose, cut the red wire on the receiver
plug of one of the speed controllers and insulate the cut portion.
m) Installing the wing
Before flying, the wing must be secured with four M3 x 40 mm screws so that it cannot come off. Use a washer each and avoid applying to much tightening
torque. Make sure that the wing is aligned correctly and without gaps.
n) Applying the decals
You will find several stickers on the decal sheet.
See the package for an overview of where to attach the stickers.
Of course, you can as well attach the stickers as you please.
As illustrated in figure 16, the package includes white stickers to cover the
servos, the speed controllers, the cables and the wing spars.
