Wing Servos Wiring; Finishing - GRAUPNER TANGENT FLAMINGO 2006 Bauanleitung

Ailerons: Mark out the position of the aileron control horns on the lower surface of the aileron.
The horn should be positioned directly opposite the scoop in the servo cover and about 3
mm from the aileron leading edge.
Drill a series of 2mm diameter holes and cut away the excess to form a neat slot to
accommodate the supplied GRP control horns. Take care not to cut through to the upper
surface of the aileron and undercut a little of the material inside the slot to allow for additional
adhesive.
Locate the aileron control horn such that the eye is at 90° to the hinge line and about 12mm
above the lower surface of the aileron.
Flaps: Similarly locate the slots to accommodate the supplied GRP control horns about 3mm
behind the leading edge of the flap such that the eye is located about 10mm behind the flap
leading edge and about 13mm above the lower surface of the flap.
Tip: Make a stencil in the shape of a triangle with 15-20° sides from a scrap piece of
plywood and use it to ensure that the eye holes in all control horns are set at the
same angle.
Once satisfied with the position, bond the GRP control horns into place using thickened
epoxy and allow to cure.
Note: ARF customers will need to remove a little of the covering material while those
building the ARC version may prefer to wait until after the wings have been covered before
bonding the control horns in place.

Wing servos wiring.

Prepare two cable harnesses to connect the wing mounted aileron and flap servos to the
receiver system. The connectors may be either fixed into the wing and fuselage wing fairing
roots, or left on flying leads. However you choose to proceed, be sure to use good quality
twisted servo leads, with a wire diameter of no less than 0.25 mm ² and polarised
connectors, preferably with Gold contacts.
Note: Quality cable sets, including connectors and separation filters are available via the
specialist model trade; choose high quality components for optimum reliability. In the case
where flying leads are used, take care always to handle the leads only by the connectors.
Don't pull on the leads!
ARF customers should now move to installation of the radio control equipment while those
building the ARC version should now begin the finishing stage.

Finishing.

Film covering – all the wooden surfaces are supplied pre-sanded, but will benefit from
further fine finishing prior to covering. Follow the instructions provided with the covering
materials, always taking care to make all joins in the direction of the air-flow.
As an alternative to our own high stable decorative vinyl based covering material, we can
also recommend Oracover (Profilm) covering materials.
