Control
surface
construction:
1/
Build ailerons, tailpiane,
elevator,
fin
and
rudder
over
the
plan.
Ensure
a
good
fit
between
the
elevator
L/E and
the elevator
joiner
(part
42).
2/
Glue
the
fin
to
the
top
rear
fuselage
assy,
packing
the
fin
off
the
board
to
ensure
correct
positioning.
3/
Bevel
the
leading
edges
of
the
ailerons,
elevator
and
rudder
and
sand
ready
for
covering
Covering:
Recommended
covering
materials
are
Solarfilm,
Fibaflim
or
Litespan
which
are
light,
colourful,
flielproof,
easy
to
apply
and
resistant
to
puncturing.
For
competition
use
Fibafilm
or
Litespan
are
recommended
as
they
are
lighter
and add
stiffness
to
the structure.
It
is
recommended
that
Clearcoat
or
Balsaloc
is
used
on
all
ply
parts,
all
around
the
nose
and around the
wing/fuselage
and
tail/fuselage
joints.
Ensure
that
the
tailplane,
fins and
all
control
surfaces
do
not
warp
when shrinking
the
covering
material.
All
parts
can
be
covered
before
final
assembly.
If
using this
technique
ensure
that the
centre
of
the
wing
and
tailplane
where
they
are
glued
to
the
fuselage
are
left
uncovered.
The
cockpit
area
can
be
covered
in
a
contrasting
colour
or
can
be
painted.
Final
assembly:
1/
Slide
the
wing
into
position
in
the
fuselage
taking
every
effort
to
ensure
that
the wing
is
perfectly
centralised
and
that
it
is
fitted
at
90
degrees
to
the
fuselage
sides,
Also check
that
the
wing
is
not
tilted
in
relation
to
the
fuselage
sides.
A1/16”
thick
packer should
be
added
to
the area
of
the
centre
rib
assembly
whichhas
not yet
been sheeted.
Once
happy
glue the
wing
into
position
with
slow epoxy
or
PVA.
2/
Once
the
wing/fuselage
glue
joint
has
cured
repeat
the
assembly
procedure with
the
tailplane
3/
Drill
through
the
U/C insert
and
fuselage doublers
for
the
u’c
clamps.
Secure u/c
legs
with
screws
and
nuts
and
fit
wheels, securing
with collets supplied.
4/ Control
surfaces
should
be
attached with
the
hinges
supplied,
thin
cyano
should
be
used which
will
“wick”
in to
the
balsa
for
increased
strength.
5/
Add
control
horns
to
the
ailerons,
elevator
and
rudder.
