Instructions Text
Elevator servo installation
Fit the rubber grommets and brass bushes to the servo, then connect the 150cm extension cable and secure it with a clip or tape.
Now you can mount the servo in the intended bulkhead.
Then screw the ball head onto the servo arm in the innermost hole (6mm) making sure that the ball socket does not touch the servo
gear screw. (picture 25)
Elevator linkage assembly
Now install the elevator linkage by screwing the 2.5mm threaded rod into the aluminium barrel and secure it with Loctide (Mittelfest
243). (Picture 26)
Now check the length of the linkage when installed, with the HLW fitted and mark the position on the threaded rod. Shorten the
threaded rod and the stainless steel tube as necessary. For the final assembly, fill the gap between the stainless steel tube and the
threaded rod with thin secondary glue and secure the thread in the ball head. The unit can now be inserted from above through the
cut-out in the fuselage. (If necessary, the recess must be slightly reworked) (Fig. 27).
To prevent the linkage from sliding backwards, fit the enclosed 2mm GRP plate. Glue the GRP part with resin while the tailplane is
mounted and the linkage is connected. This results in a fast, firm and play-free linkage. (Picture28)
Elevator canopy attachment
The elevator cap is secured with the help of 2 magnets. This makes for an uncomplicated and everyday installation. First, give the
canopy the final touch and fit it to the profile contour.
Now protect the tailplane by taping it with wide Tesa tape and waxing it.
Mount the tailplane and place the wooden blocks and the magnet over the screw heads. Now sand the canopy on the inside and
fit the front wooden part to the contour of the canopy. Now apply thickened resin to the necessary places, place the cap over it and
stretch it down with tape. When everything has dried, carefully lift off the cap and deburr sharp edges if necessary. (Picture 29)
Glueing in the frames
The kit comes with a set of CNC-milled wooden formers for both the FES and the EDF conversion. These should be installed as shown
in the pictures. The side frames are used to hold the optional cockpit tub. The frames can be fixed in place with super glue and then
glued cleanly with thickened 24 resin. Please sand the appropriate areas beforehand.
Please note that the hinges for the EZFW should be installed before the frames are fitted.
For the glider or FES version, we recommend installing the ring bulkhead, which actually holds the folding impeller, to stiffen the fuse-
lage tube. This can then also be recessed.

Rudder servo installation
Fit the rubber grommets and brass bushes to the servo and screw them into the glued-in frame. The rudder linkage is done by cables,
this results in a very hard and backlash-free linkage.
Set the rudder servo in the middle position and pull the cables crosswise through the fuselage, this will result in a perfect exit angle in
the tail.
To prevent damage to the cable, please deburr the hole in the eye bolt beforehand. Screw the eye bolt into the clevis, then thread the
clamping sleeve onto the rope, then pull the rope through the eye bolt.
Then push the rope back through the clamping sleeve and press the sleeve firmly together with the help of pliers. (Notches can still be
added with blunt side cutters) Repeat the process at all ends, making sure the rope is well tightened. (Picture 32)
