We recommend using epoxy for parts '''30–44'''. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> 31. Epoxy both two Lite Ply sides '''51''' and top brace '''50''' in place. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> 32. Now it is the right moment for preparing the engine/motor mount installation. Draw horizontal and vertical centre lines on the front face of the firewall - they will help with the correct alignment of your engine/motor mount. The recommended down thrust (-3 ° down for both electric motor and glow engine) will be achieved with a suitable insert under the top of the motor/engine mount. Usually, no side thrust is necessary. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> '''Glow engine:''' Put an engine mount suitable for your glow engine onto the firewall. Align it to the centre lines so the shaft axis (corresponds to the bottom of the engine mounting lugs/top surface of the engine mount lugs) was centred. Mark the position of the engine mount mounting holes to the firewall. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> '''Electric motor:''' Put the radial mount cross supplied with your motor (or sold separately) onto the firewall.

Glue the trailing edge plate '''58''' in place, the undercarriage plate '''72''' and the top nose sheeting '''54''' in place. Carefully sand the entire fuselage including the fuel tank/battery hatch clean using No. 180–220 sanding paper/sanding block and then with No. 400. The fuselage is ready to covering now. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> 39. Glue together the tail skid consisting of parts '''61''' and '''62.''' Sand and cover it. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> ==== Covering ==== </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> * Thoroughly sand the surface of all parts with No. 360–400 sandpaper and carefully vacuum all the dust (The iron-on film does not stick well to a dusty surface. The dust also contains hard grains released off the sandpaper capable to ruin the smooth coating of your sealing iron quickly). * Use as light iron-on film as you can get (transparent Oracover, Oralite etc. – not supplied in the kit). Follow the instruction manual supplied with the covering film of your choice please. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> ==== Final assembly ==== 40. Cut the covering film over the opening for the fuel tank/battery hatch '''55''' in the top nose sheeting '''54'''. Glue the pin '''56''' along the front bottom edge of the hatch and install the hatch lock '''57'''. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> 41. '''Glow engine:''' Apply a coat of fuel-proof dope or epoxy (thinned with epoxy paint/dope thinner) to the entire fuel tank compartment from the firewall to the former '''38''' and the bottom side of the hatch '''55'''. Apply a fuel-proofing coat to the front side of the firewall as well. Apply the dope/epoxy over the edges of the covering film to prevent fuel or exhaust fumes getting "under the skin". </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> 42. Epoxy the control surface hinges. Be sure the glue does not get into the hinges hindering the control surface movement. Remove any excessive epoxy with a paper towel wetted with rubbing alcohol immediately. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> 43. Cut the covering film over the notches for the fin and horizontal stabilizer in the fuselage. Epoxy the fin and stabilizer in place. Remove any excessive epoxy with a paper towel wetted with rubbing alcohol immediately. Double check the fin was square to the horizontal stabilizer. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> 44. Epoxy the tail skid in place. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> 45. Glue the wing bolt captive nuts into the fuselage braces '''48''' & '''49'''. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> 46. Assemble the main undercarriage and secure it with two M4×20 mm bolts to the fuselage. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> 47. '''Glow engine:''' Install the engine mount and your engine with silencer. Insert and glue the throttle push rod outer tube into the fuselage. Install the throttle servo into the servo tray/switch holder '''70''' and glue the tray into the fuselage ensuring free movement of the throttle push rod. You can fit the receiver battery switch to the tray '''70''' (flipped by a piece of 0.8 mm piano wire from the outside of fuselage - not supplied in the kit). Assemble the fuel tank and test it is tight and secure. Install the fuel tank wrapped in thin rubber foam into the fuselage. Hook up all the tubings - use a pressurized fuel system; do not forget a good fuel filter - like [https://www.kavanrc.com/item/aluminum-fuel-filter-1-pcs-109167 KAVAN KAV0019] - between the tank and carburettor. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> 48. '''Electric motor:''' Install your motor with the radial mount, thread the motor cables into the fuselage. Connect the ESC (secure it with a strip of hook and loop tape into the fuselage). </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> 49. Install your receiver, servos and receiver resp. flight battery. Turn your radio on and set neutral positions of servos. Insert the Z-bend on one end of the rudder, elevator and throttle push rod into the corresponding servo arms, thread the push rods into the respective outer tubes, attach the arms to the servos and secure them with screws. Slide and cyano plastic tubings on the aileron push rods as a means of stiffening. Insert the Z-bends into aileron servo arms. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> 50. Secure the control surfaces using strips of masking tape or other suitable means in the neutral (centre) position. Tack fit the control horns with a piece of thin double sided sticky tape to the respective control surfaces so the holes for pushrod in the horns were in line with the hinge pins. Mark the correct length of the push rods and make Z-bends on them. Thread the horns on the Z-bends and secure the horns to the control surfaces with screws. Alternatively you can install push rod connectors (e.g. [https://www.kavanrc.com/item/threaded-pushrod-connector-m2-d-1-25mm-10-pcs-108746 KAVAN KAV3060A/10] - not supplied in the kit) to the servo arms that will allow precise setting of the control linkage any time. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> 51. '''Glow engine:''' Install the throttle push rod ensuring free movement over the entire range of the carburettor from fully closed to fully open position. We recommend fitting a push rod connector to the throttle servo arm - it will make setting up much easier. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> === RC set installation and preflight check === Referring to the instruction manual of your radio carefully hook up the on-board electronics. Once everything has been correctly connected, turn on your transmitter and plug in the flight (receiver) pack. Check the neutral positions and throws of all control surfaces. If you needed to make the control surface throws smaller, simply move the pushrod closer to the centre on the servo arm or move it far from the control surface on the control horn. And vice versa. {| class="wikitable" | rowspan="2" |'''Recommended throws''' | colspan="2" |'''Low rate''' | colspan="2" |'''High rate''' |- |'''Rate''' |'''Expo''' |'''Rate''' |'''Expo''' |- |Ailerons |± 5 mm |30–40 % |± 7 mm |40–50 % |- |Elevator |± 7 mm |30–40 % |± 10 mm |40–50 % |- |Rudder |± 11 mm |30–40 % |± 15 mm |50 % |} The "Low rate" recommended control surface throws are suitable for a less skilled pilot and classic pattern aerobatics. The "High rate" setting is for 3D aerobatics and skilled pilots. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> '''Electric:''' Check the direction of rotation of the propeller. If it was incorrect, simply swap two of the three wires between the ESC and motor or program the ESC (refer to the ESC manual). </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> '''Glow engine:''' If you install a brand new engine, you will have to run-in the engine following its instruction manual first. Before take off check the throttle servo function; double-check the idle and full throttle positions are correct. Be sure you can stop the engine by pulling the throttle stick and throttle trim all the way down or using the Throttle Cut function on your radio. Check the correct position of the centre of gravity (CG) – '''marked "'''[[File:CG.svg|frameless|17x17px]]'''"''' on the building plan. Adjust the CG position by moving the flight resp. receiver pack - if you cannot reach the recommended position, do not hesitate to add an appropriate amount of lead to the nose or tail. An extra couple of grams won't spoil the flying characteristics - but the incorrect CG position is a killer. Fully charge your flight pack and transmitter batteries, check the proper function of your radio and perform the range check of your radio according to its instruction manual. The range has to be almost the same with the motor off and at full throttle (no more than 10 % decrease is acceptable). DO NOT try to fly unless the range check is 100 % successful. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> === Flying === The test flying and fine tuning is pretty much straightforward, there will be no surprise for a medium-advanced pilot that is supposed to fly this model. </div>
