1.
Locate the plastic hinges with pin and fit into slots that are cut into the wing
panels, trim slot as necessary. Hinge the Ailerons and Flaps on each wing
panel using Hysol or 30 min epoxy.
2.
Check the control surfaces on each wing panel and ensure that the glue
has cured and the control surface is secure. Locate the servo openings for
the ailerons and flap’s and install the servo’s using wood screws on each
wing, ensure the servo’s are facing in the correct direction as per the above
illustration

3.
Locate 4 composite control horns and cut a slot in each aileron and flap for
the control horn. Use 30 min epoxy or hysol to secure horn in place and let
cure. Assemble a pushrod using one clevis and ball link and secure to
servo. Pay close attention to have a slop free surface, any excess
movement can cause flutter during high speed flight.

4.
Hinge the rudder using 30
min epoxy or hysol and let
cure. Check the control
surface after the glue has
cured and ensure of a good
bond. Locate the servo
openings on each boom and
install a servo using wood
screws. Locate 2 control
horns and cut a slot in each
rudder and glue in place
using 30 min epoxy or hysol.

5.
Locate the fuselage and using a dremel make a hole for all turbine wires
and fuel lines. It is very important to make the hole large enough for the
starter motor to fit inside without touching the walls of the fuselage or
chaffing any of the fuel lines or wires.

6.
Install the turbine as per the manufactures instructions ensure that you
move the turbine as far forward as possible for CG purposes.
7.
Drill a pilot hole and then dremel out as to
accommodate the wing spars,wing bolt,
servo wires and air lines. After this is
complete test fit the wing panels to ensure a
proper fit.

8.
Hinge the elevator using 30 min epoxy or hysol and let cure. After the glue
has fully cured check control surface for a proper bond.
Cut the covering off approximately 1/2 inch from the end of the elevator this
part will go inside the booms

9. Fit both wings onto the to the fuselage using the aluminum spars
supplied and bolt them in place. Locate both booms and stabilizer and put
aside for assembly in the next steps. Attach one of the booms ( your
choice ) on to the wing using the bolts and washers supplied and ensure
that the stabilizer opening is facing inward. Now locate the other boom and
attach it to the the other wing only using the forward bolt and washer. This
will allow you to pivot the boom slightly so you can fit the stabilizer in place
for glueing.
Locate the stabilizer and temporarily attach it to each boom using the bolts
supplied for a test fit prior to glueing. Remove any covering from the
stabilizer as to ensure a proper bonding surface. After you are satisfied with
the fit remove the 4 bolts and apply hysol or 30 minute epoxy with micro
balloons to the stabilizer and the inside of the cavity in the boom. Attach the
stabilizer with the 4 bolts and washers and tighten. Screw the last bolt
through the wing into the boom and ensure you have 2 bolts on each wing.
Now ensure that the stabilizer is parallel to the wing and the booms are
properly fit to the stabilizer and let cure over night. After the glue has cured
use 15 minute epoxy with micro balloons and fill any gaps that are present
between the stabilizer and the boom cavity.
