Covering



Duetothemodelspendingtimeindifferentclimateszonesfromthefactoryonitswaytoyou,someofthe

coveringmayhavewrinkles.Wehighlyrecommendthatyoutaketimetore‐sealallcoveringedgeswithaniron

andtouseaheatguntoremoveanywrinklesandre‐tightenthecovering.Itisbesttodothisnowwhiletheplane

isnotassembled,remembertonotletanyheatgetnearanypartslikethecanopyorcowlasthismaycause

damage.



AssemblyTips



Wealsorecommendthatyougooveralltheaccessiblejointswithcyanoglue.Wickglueintoareasofhighstress

aroundtheU/Cplateandmotorbox.



UseNutlockonallmetaltometaljoints.Evenifyouareusingelectricwithlowvibrationlevelsitwillmakesure

Removetheelevatorsandhingesfromtherearstabandplaceitintheopening.



Itisimportantthatcareistakenwhenaligningtherearstab.Measureeachsidetomakesurethatanequalamountshowsoneachside.

FittheCFwingtubeandlookingfromthefrontandbackcheckthattheelevatorplateisinhorizontalalignmenttotherearstab.Ifitisnotthentrim
