Unpacking:
Carefully remove the aircraft from the boxes and inspect for any
damage. If you have any damage it must be reported to the freight
company immediately. Redwing RC is not responsible for any
shipping damage. You must contact the carrier. We will work with
the purchaser and the freight company to resolve any issues.
However a claim must be filed before we can begin the process.
Re-shrink the Covering:
Before doing any assembly or installation it is very important to re-
shrink or re-tighten the already applied covering. Due to the
shipping process, heat and humidity changes from different

5
climates, the covering may become lose and wrinkle in the sun. If
you take the time to re-tighten the covering, you will be rewarded
with a long lasting and beautiful airplane. Using your covering
iron with a soft sock, gently apply pressure and rub in the covering.
If any bubbles occur, your iron may be to hot. Reduce heat and
work slowly. You should be able to just see the wood grain under
the covering when proper adhesion has occurred. Go over any and
all seams and color overlaps with your iron to assure good
adhesion of the covering to the wood. Be careful; don’t apply too
much heat to one area for long periods of time. This may cause the
trim colors to over shrink and pull away leaving gaps on the color
lines. The trim stripes are especially vulnerable to over shrinking.
Getting Started:
Using a hobby knife or soldering iron, carefully remove the
covering from the areas shown below.

Control Horn Installation:
(Elevator Hardware Bag)
(Rudder Hardware Bag)

10
(Wing Hardware Bag)
The control horns come pre-assembled and pre-painted. Use 30
minute epoxy to glue the control horns in place.
(Elevator Control Horn)

11
(Elevator Control Horn Installed)
The rudder control horns need 1/8” trimmed off of the bottom of
each control horn so they don’t hit inside the rudder.

12
Landing Gear Installation:
(Landing Gear Hardware Pack)
Install the axles on the Carbon Fiber Landing gear as shown.

13
(Landing Gear Mounting Hardware)
(Landing Gear Cover)
Place the flat washers on each of the four socket head cap screws.
These screws go through the holes in the landing gear cover and
then through the holes in the landing gear. The landing gear is
then secured in place by installing the four locknuts in the fuselage.

(Landing Gear Installed)
(Lock Nuts installed inside fuse)

15
Tail wheel Bracket Installation:
(Tail Wheel Assembly)

16
Assemble the tail wheel bracket as shown.
Install the tail wheel assembly on the fuselage. Make sure the
bracket is centered on the bottom of the fuselage.

17
Hinging the Control Surfaces:
30 minute epoxy is used to glue the hinges in place in the control
surfaces. Be careful to not get any epoxy in the hinge joint.
Once the epoxy has fully cured the control surfaces can be glued in
place on the airframe. Masking tape is used to hold the control
surface in place while the epoxy cures. Paper Towels and rubbing
alcohol can be used to clean up any excess epoxy.

18
Before gluing the rudder in place on the fuselage install the tail
wheel tiller arm mount in the rudder. Drill a 3/16” hole located 2
½” from the hinge line. The mount is centered on the rudder.
Glue the mount in place with 5 minute epoxy.

Aileron Servo Installation:

20
(Aileron Servo Mount)
Attach a 6”-12” servo extension to each aileron servo. Place a
servo safety clip over the connectors. Use servo screws to mount
the servo in the servo mount. Install your preferred servo arms on
the aileron servo. Included with the aircraft are carbon fiber servo
arms that bolt on to your existing servo arms. You may also
