

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.



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

LandingGearAssembly



Tostopthefuselagegettingdamagedwhilethemodelisassembledwerecommendfittingthelandinggearfirst.



Pusheachaxlethroughthewhellholes,andtightenupwith1xselflockingnutand1xblindnut.Thenaxlethoughtheholeoflandinggear,and

tightenupwith1xselflockingnut



 



TheU/Crakesforwardsousethecorrectwheelpantperside,andusingafinedrill,drillholesforthescrews.

 



Nowlineupthewheelinthecentreofthewheelpantopeningandtightenthecollets.Remembertousenutlockandtomakesurethewheelcan

movefreely.

RearStab

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

theopeningsothatitisequal.

Fitthewingsandmeasurefromtheendofthewingtotheelevatorstabtomakesurethatbothsidesareequal



Glueing–Onceyouthinkyouarereadytoglue,measureagain.Werecommend2methodsforgluing.Eitherremovethecoveringontheareathatis

coveredbythefuselageandgluewithCAorleavethecoveringonandgluewiththincyno.Wickinginthinfirst,ifalargegapisvisiblethenuse

mediumorthick.Remembertowickinsmallamountsatatimekeepingtheplanelevel,thiswillensurethegluestayswhereitneedstobe.

  

Dependingonifyouarefitting1or2elevatorservo’syoumayneedtofittheelevatorjoiningbar.



Gluethejoinerbarinto1oftheelevatorhalveswithepoxy.

Nowwecanhingeoneoftheelevatorswiththejoinerbargluedin.

Apply‘vaseline’tothehingepointonthehingesandtogluetheseintotheboththestabandelevatorhalf.Wipeoffexcessgluebeforeitsets.

Dryfittheotherelevatorhalfwiththehingesandmakesurethatbothhalvesaligntothestab.Trimwherethejoinerbarsitsifrequired.

Gluethehingesinbothstabandelevatoragain.Whilegluingusetapetokeepitinalignment

clip.



FittheElevatorServoservoandusingafinedrill,drillholesfortheservoscrews.Removetheservoanddropthincynointoall4holes.



Re‐fittheelevatorservoandsecureitinwithservoscrews.

CentretheservousingyourTX,andfitaservoarm.Useeitheranaftermarketarmorattachthearmsthatweresuppliedtoaservohead.Screwball

jointsontothepushrod(useplierstoholdpushrod)andboltinplacewithsuppliedbolts.Centreofservoshouldalignwithelevatorflattothestab.
