the left wing panel for right handed pilots, on the right wing panel for
left handed pilots. Round the edges of the pin and insert it into the wing
(centred).
89. Glue the pin with thin cyano from bottom and top sides.
90. Remove the covering lm from the bottom of the wing centre (applies to
the iron-on lm covered wing only) and epoxy the wing to the wing seat.
Pin the wing down until the glue sets. Double check the correct align-
ment! Sand a narrow at strip on the bottom of the centre of the horizon-
tal tailplane. Apply thick cyano and attach the horizontal tailplane to the
FLYING
93. Once the position of the centre of gravity has been set, you can launch
your VINX for the rst time. Launch it with hearty push with the nose sli-
ghtly down; it should glide smoothly, just with little swing. Fine tune the
gliding path with the M2 setting screw in the fuselage. Pitching the wing
up causes lifting the model up.
94. Slightly bend the vertical n to the right (looking from the tail to nose).
Once launched, the model should glide smoothly in a wide right turn (this
applies to right handed pilots).

tail boom. Check the correct alignment relative to the wing and fuselage
looking from above and from behind. Once satis ed, apply accelerator to
cure the glue instantly. Glue the vertical n in place in the same manner.
91. Glue the bevel jig (Fig. 47) onto the tailplane jig (Fig. 20) to make a balan-
cing cradle. Use thick cyano.
92. Mark the recommended position of the centre of gravity on the bottom
side of the wing. Balance the model thoroughly; seal the ballast opening
with a strip of clear sticky tape.
95. Grasp the left wing with your right hand and hook your index and middle
ngers on the pin. Launch the model in a discus style with a hearty push. If
the model swings, adjust the wing pitch or reduce the diameter of the turn
by bending the n more to the right. If the model ies in circles and swings
during the glide, it is necessary to add a little bit more ballast to the nose.
Have a ball, enjoy your VINX!
