E) Mounting The Rudders; F) Mounting The Landing Gears - Reely F-18 Blue Angel Wichtige Informationen

e) Mounting the Rudders

The left and right rudders are glued to the fuselage top. For this, both the rudder
halves and the fuselage have the respective shapings to determine the correct
position.
Push the left and then the right rudders into the shapings on the fuselage to the
stop without glue and check them for proper fit. They should fight tight and only
be reworked slightly if absolutely necessary. The numbers (decals) on the
rudders must point outwards.
If everything fits properly, you can glue the left and, when the glue has cured,
the right rudder on with 5 minutes epoxy glue. For this, put glue on the adhesive
surfaces and fix them in place until the glue has cured.

f) Mounting the Landing Gears

The model has a main and a controllable nose landing gear.
Plug the main landing gear (1) into the receptacle behind the receiver compart-
ment (2) until it is flush with the holder. Mount the landing gear so that the bent
landing gear wires point towards the tail of the fuselage. Secure the landing
gear against falling out with a drop of 5 minute epoxy glue.
The nose landing gear (3) is attached to the receptacle behind the battery
compartment (4) with a 3 mm hexagon socket screw (5).
The nose landing gear must be attached so that the bent landing gear wire
points backwards.
Adjust the nose landing gear vertically until the model has a slightly positive
angle when standing on a level surface with the main landing gear attached
(fuselage nose pointing slightly upwards).
Tighten the hexagon socket screw only by hand, because the final setting (driving
straight) can only be made when the remove control is switched on. For this,
observe the notes in the chapter „Final Remote Control Function Control" in the
back of these instructions.
