502 super glue is for pushrod and steel wires.

1. Use the end of a carbon fiber rod to score through the half-cut line of the rudder & elevator surface.
2.After scored through the half-cut line, rudder & elevator surface can move in both directions.
3. Fuselage parts.

4. Install the servo plate.
5. Glue the motor with adhesive.
6. Glue both sides of fuselage together.

7. Connect the aileron servo to a powered receiver and install the servo arm on its central position.
8. Install the aileron servo & wing support with glue.
9. Cover the aileron servo with sticker.

10. Install the horizontal tail.
11. Use the end of a carbon fiber rod to score through the half-cut line of the wing surface.

13. Install inner parts of the wings.
14. Install external parts of the wings.
15. Glue the conduit & conduit base on both side of the wings. Excess part of the conduit needs to be cut off.

16. Glue the aileron control horns.
17. Aileron wire drive system. Bend the steel wire as shown to decrease resistance.
18. Attach the steel wire clip to the same hole of aileron servo arm. (the arm can be moved out from the side

Maiden flight
·The center of gravity is 10 mm from the leading edge of the wing. Move the battery forward and backward
to adjust the center of gravity.
·The range of elevator, rudder and aileron movement is 5 mm for each side. Please adjust the rudder surface
to the level before flight test.
