Now make two twin bitts from bitts 187 and base plates 188 and then cement single bitt 186 and twin bitts onto the
back. Then make four cross bitts from parts 189 and 190 and cement them in position as shown in top-view.
Assemble fore flagstaff from mounting pin 191, flagstaff 192, eyebolt 193, top 194, halyard 201 and flag 199,
Then install tank, burner and boiler and connect them as explained in the separate steam-engine instruction leaflet.
Mount the set collar out of the assembly set of the steam engine with a long screw as stop pin of the prop shaft.
Before mounting the screw put a piece of silicon tube over it for reduction of noice.
Eventually install the steam exhaust nipple where the port side is marked „X" on the side-view and connect it to the
engine with silicone tubing. This is not necessary for installing steam engine Victor.
To install the RC-equipment bolt engine servo, rudder servo and switch in position, wrap receiver and power pack
into some sponge material, plug all parts together and stow receiver and power pack into RC compartment in the
stern. Then connect rudder servo with tiller 76 by adjustable push rod connector 207, circlip 208, set screw 209
and push rod 210, and keep the hole in the stern for the latter as small as possible. Thereafter connect engine servo
with speed-lever of steam-engine by pushrod 212 with clevis 211.
Your Victoria is ready now. You must only trim your model.
For trimming you need additional 3 sets ballast of steel balls no. 60102 and 1 set epoxi glue with long hardening
time. Before filling the ballast build into your model all accessories. Then go on step by step.
Before you fill in the ballast please pay attention to the following points.
1. P ut in steam engine with full boiler.
2. Put in full gas tank.
3. Put in steam condenser.
4. Set in the complete RC (receiver, servos, batteries and switch)
5. Pull the servo cables tight and fix them carefully with tape.
7. To avoid a damage of the deck cover it with a broad tape.
8. Set the boat into the water.
9. Mix the ballast with UHU plus endfest 300 that all balls are moistened a bit.
10. Now fill in the ballast with a spoon.
Check after each small addition of ballast the trim and set the boiler in its place. Fill in ballast till the boat
lies at its waterline in the water. When the boat lies in the water till the water line, let the steam engine at its
position until the glue is dry (during a night), in the water, so that the ballast is unable to change its position.
Then take off the tapes put in the hatchs and screw on the steam engine.
After a thorough check of all equipment you can launch and navigate your „Victoria", and we are certain, that this
will provide you with a lot of fun.
