Radio Control Equipment Installation - GRAUPNER TANGENT FLAMINGO 2006 Bauanleitung

NOTE: Take care to avoid excessive heat when using heat-shrink covering films on the
wings as the polystyrene cores will be destroyed (polystyrene starts to melt at 70° C). Use low
temperature heat-shrink covering films and make every effort to avoid prolonged exposure to
heat.
Fibre-glass finish – for the ultimate finish to your FLAMINGO 2006, cover the wings and
tail-plane with a lightweight glass-fibre cloth and treat with a suitable finishing resin. This
involves a specialist process which is well documented in the popular model trade. Choose
good quality materials and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Take care not to add
excessive weight!
DESIGN Models.
Our DESIGN range of models are supplied with pre-printed graphics which are both
lightweight and durable. Please observe the following simple steps to maintain the
appearance:
TA-Film is stable up to a nominal temperature of 70
•
expose the surfaces to excess heat. The use of a normal hairdryer is all that is
required to soften the material should it eventually become necessary.
The graphics are waterproof but are not resistant to solvents. Clean your model with
•
a mild solution of soapy water applied with a soft sponge and dry carefully to restore
the fine finish.
Do not under any circumstances use cleaning products which contain concentrated
•
alcohol or acetone as a solvent.

Radio Control Equipment Installation.

Fuselage servo installation - Install the servos in the servo mounting tray, following
instructions supplied with your radio control equipment. Connect the servo output horns and
clevises and check full and free movement – using the full range of the servo. Also check for
any slop in the push-rods and secure the Bowden cable carriers always keeping mind to
minimise the length of unsupported control linkage.
Note: Depending on your choice of servos, you may find that you will have to remove a
little material in the area of the fuselage opening to accommodate the servo output horns.
Do so carefully, removing only the minimum amount of material necessary to install and
operate the servos.
Wing servo installation - Ensure that the servo output arms are set at 90° with the servo
electrically centred. Prepare the linkages, using threaded rod, clevises and lock-nuts
remembering to apply a drop of thread-lock to the lock nuts or apply a short length of heat-
shrink over the joint.
Secure the servo covers in place using the four small screws provided. Use a countersink
tool to recess the screw heads into the servo covers to improve both the appearance and the
aerodynamic performance.
Receiver installation - The receiver is best installed to the rear of the fuselage cockpit
opening, a good quality Velcro Hook & Loop material is quite adequate for this purpose. The
receiver antenna is ideally inserted into a suitable antenna tube (or plastic Bowden cable
carrier) and inserted down the length of the fuselage
