If exposed to direct sunlight and/or heat, wrinkels can appear. Storing the model in a cool place will let the wrinkles disappear. Otherwise, remove wrinkles in covering film with a hair dryer, starting with low temperature. You can fix the corners by using a hot iron.

Bei Sonneneinstrahlung und/oder Wärme kann die Folie erschlaffen bzw. Falten entstehen. Verwenden Sie ein Warumluftgebläse (Haartrockner) um evtl. Falten aus der Folie zu bekommen. Die Kanten können Sie mit einem Bügeleisen behandeln. Nicht zuviel Hitze anwenden !

1-Cut away the covering of the wing bottom

where the aileron servo goes.

2-Connect the aileron and flap servo cord to the extension cords.

3-Install the aileron and flap servo on the servo mount.

Do the same way with second wing half

The rectangular hole on the bottom of the flap is pre-cut at factory

1-Depending on the position of the linkage, determine the location of aileron control horn.

1- Using a pencil, mark the center of the brace. 2- Trial fit the wing joiner into one of the wing panels. It should insert smoothly up to the center line marked above. 3- Slide the other wing half onto the dihedral brace until the wing panel meet. If the fit is over tight, it may be necessary to lightly sand the dihedral brace. 4- Check for the correct dihedral angle. 5- Mix up some 30 minute epoxy and apply a generous amount of epoxy into the wing joiner cavity of one wing half. 6- Coat one half of the dihedral brace with epoxy up to the center line. Install the epoxy-coated side of the dihedral brace into the wing joiner cavity up to the center line, marking sure that the “V” of the dihedral brace is positioned correctly 7- Do the same way with the other wing half. 8- Carefully slide the wing halves together, ensuring that they are accurately aligned. Firmly press the two halves together, allowing the excess epoxy to run out. Clean off the excess epoxy with paper towel and kerosene.

IMPORTANT:

Please do not clean off the excess epoxy on the wing with strong solvent or pure alcohol, only use kerosene to keep the colour of your model not fade.
