1. After unpacking all parts, sort the
hardware and place like parts into
separate holders. This will speed the
building process and give you a good
visual of all the hardware provided.
2. Begin by hinging the ailerons to the main
wing panels using the larger pin hinges.
Apply a drop of 3-in-1 oil to the pivot of
each hinge point; this is to keep the glue
from fouling the hinge operation. Use 30minute epoxy and insert into each hole
of the control surface, then insert the
hinge and set aside to cure.
3. Once the hinges are set in each control
surface, dry fit them to the wing panels
and check that the movement is smooth
and the alignment is suitable. When
satisfied, apply glue to the hinge
pinholes in the wing and insert the
control surface into position. Maintain
small gaps between the main wing and
the control surface. Check for free
movement.
4. Now find the 6 flat hinges and 18 of the
smallest screws. Locate the mount
points on the wing and flaps (there are
hardware blocks under the covering) and
use a screwdriver to install the flap
hinges.

5. After all wing control surfaces are hinged
and the epoxy has cured, check for free
movement and prepare to install the
servos.
6. Add a 12” servo ext. to the Flap servos
and insert the servos in the wing. Screw
in place with the output shaft facing the
trailing edge of the wing.
7. Locate the control horns and pushrods
and install them for both flaps.
8. Repeat the process to install the servos,
control horns and pushrods for the
ailerons. Use 24” extensions for the
aileron servos. The aileron servos are
oriented in the same direction as the
flaps with the output shaft facing the
trailing edge of the wing.
9. Locate the tail wheel, mounting plate,
and two screws. Install the tail wheel as
shown.
10.Dry fit the vertical stabilizer in the
fuselage. Use a marker and mark the
vertical stab where it meets the fuselage.
Use a hobby knife and remove the
covering below the marked line. Cut the
covering about 1/8” below the marked
line. Use only enough force to cut the
covering. Do not cut into the wood.
