ank you for choosing a Direct Airscale model. If you have any problems do not hesitate to consult
our website. Especially the section CLUB DA (Direct Airscale club) for each plane where you will nd
information. You also can consult me directly by phone but try to be a maximum shorter . ank
you. You also can participate in the interaction you’ll nd at general chapter CLUB DA.
For our SPACE WALKER electro we respected the concept of scale to provide a lightweight,
economical airplane engine but can collect any aerobatics as it is true that wood (balsa and ctp) and
good quality wing serious manufacturer key can provide you with any “envelope” that will accept any
physical injuries you inict it. . . Signicantly higher than the real one! To tell you whether or not you
y model. One day yes, one day not, can be a good answer. Our decor is dierent from that intended
by designers like spider-man but still takes one chosen by many U.S. homebuilders. Have fun, let you
go, y quiet or clownish, our “space walker” is made for this.
CONGRATULATIONS.

HINGING THE AILERON.
e control surfaces, including the ai-
lerons, elevators, and rudder, are pre-
hinged with hinges in stalled, but the
hinges are not glued in place. It is im-
perative that you properly adhere the
hinges in place per the steps that fol-
low using a high-quality thin C/A glue.
Note :
1) Carefully remove the aileron from one
of the wing panels. Note the position of the
hinges.
2) Remove each hinge from the wing panel
and aileron and place a T-pin in the center of
each hinge. Slide each hinge into the aileron
until the T-pin is snug against the aileron.
is will help ensure an equal amount of
hinge is on either side of the hinge line when
the aileron is mounted to the wing panel.
3) Slide the aileron on the wing panel until
there is only a slight gap. e hinge is nowcen-
tered on the wing panel and aileron. Remove
theT-pinsandsnugtheaileronagainstthewing
panel. A gap of 1/64” or less should be main-
tained between the wing panel and aileron.

4) Deect the aileron and completely satu-
rate each hinge with thin C/A glue. e ailer-
ons front surface should lightly contact the
wing during this procedure. Ideally, when
the hinges are glued in place, a 1/64” gap or
less will be maintained throughout the lengh
of the aileron to the wing panel hinge line.
e hinge is constructed of a special
material that allows the C/A to wick
or penetrate and distribute through-
out the hinge, securely bonding it to
the wood structure of the wing panel
and aileron.
Note :
5) Turn the wing panel over and deect the
aileron in the opposite direction from the
opposite side. Apply thin C/A glue to each
hinge, making sure that the C/A pene-
trates into both the aileron and wing panel.
6) Using C/A remover/debonder and a pa-
per towel, remove any excess C/A glue that
may have accumulated on the wing or in the
aileron hinge area.
7) Repeat this process with the other wing
panel, securely hinging the aileron in place.
8) Aer both ailerons are securely hinged,
rmly grasp the wing panel and aileron to
make sure the hinges are securely glued and
cannot be pulled out. Do this by carefully
applying medium pressure, trying to sepa-
rate the aileron from the wing panel. Use
caution not to crush the wing structure.

HINGING THE ELEVATOR.
Glue the elevator hinges in place using the
same techniques used to hinge the ailerons.
HINGING THE RUDDER.
Glue the rudder hinges in place using the
same techniques used to hinge the ailerons.
TURNBUCKLE INSTALLATION.
e hole location of turnbuckle shown in
picture below.
Attach the thread to the servo lead and
carefully thread it though the wing.
e mounting holes of turnbuckle was
pre-drilled at factory.
Installing the turnbuckle for tail strut of
horizontal n as same as pictures below.
.
INSTALLING THE AILERON SERVO.
1) Install the rubber grommets and brass
collets onto the aileron servo. Test t the
servo into the aileron servo mount.
Because the size of servos dier, you may
need to adjust the size of the precut opening
in the mount. e notch in the sides of the
mount allow the servo lead to pass through.
Work the aileron up and down sev-
eral times to “work in” the hinges
and check for proper movement.

1) Using a ruler & pen to draw a straight line
as picture below.
6) Connect the linkage as shown and secure
the control wire with a wire keeper.
2) Locate the two nylon control horns, two
nylon control horn backplates and four ma-
chine screws.
3) Position the aileron horn on the bottom
side of aileron. e clevis attachment holes
should be positioned over the hinge line.
4) Using a 1mm drill bit and the control
horns as a guide, drill the mounting holes
through the aileron halves.
5) Mount the control horns by inserting the
screws through the control horn bases and
aileron halves, then into the mounting back-
plates. Do not overtighten the screws or the
backplates may crush the wood.
2) Secure the servos with the screws provid-
ed with your radio system.
