from the front, hook clevises to the rudder servo and rudder horns 250, cut the rear
cable ends to length and cement them into the rear connectors.
Drill skid buffers. 215 and 216 for mounting bolts and fasten them onto skid 214 with
bolts 217 and 220, washers 219 and 222 and nuts 218 and 221 resprectively. Then
drill 3 mm dia. holes through bottom longerons 156 and 157 and bolt skid to fuselage
with bolts 223 and nuts 224. Eventually fasten buffers to cotter pins with mounting
pins 225 and 226, securing them with epoxy.
Drill 2 mm dia. holes into tail skid mounts 169 and fix tail skid 227 to fuselage with
bolts 228. Slide handle 229 through fuselage and cement it in position. Eventually
screw tow-hooks 265 into mounts 170 and cement small gussets from pine scrap in
front of them, so that tow-rings can't get entangled.
Assembly:
Slide elevator horn 190 through mounting tube 113 and secure it with nuts 191. Then
mount tailplane to fuselage with bolts 166, adjust pushrod length with the front clevis
and hook same into elevator servo. Eventually mount stabilizer struts 256 to fittings
with bolts 271.
Connect wings with tongues 68, plug the four properly marked extension cables to-
gether, putting the connectors between ribs 4 and 5, and mount wing to fuselage with
bolts 197. Put the wing struts between the fittings and fix them to the fuselage with
bolts 272 and to the wings with bolts 273. Carefully align the wing, drill 4 mm dia.
holes for aligning pins 274 through wing roots and wing support 193 and cement pins
into the holes of the wing roots only. Eventually bend and fit wing slot cover 275
around the wing centre and secure the front end to the fuselage with screw 276.
Flying:
Support the model under the main spar and fasten ballast to former 127 until it bal-
ances in glide attitude. Remove the tapes that neutralized the control surfaces and
ceck RC for proper function and rudder movements in the correct directions. Satisfy
yourself with a couple of hand launches that there is nothing seriously wrong with
your model and then your "Baby" is ready for her maiden flight.
As this model has no dihedral, you need all three controls simultaneously to fly cor-
rect turns and circles - rudder for turn, ailerons for bank and elevator to keep the
nose up. This sounds more complicated than it is, and once you have got hte knack
of it, you won't think about it anymore.
As the original, your "Baby" can do simple stunts as loops, turns and rolls and combi-
nations of them, but because of its airfoil it is not suited for stunts with negative G-
loads.
In case you want to tow-launch your "Baby", you need a split line at least 750 mm
long with two tow-rings, fastened to the parachute with a swivel.
Happy Landings,
