❏ 2. Hookup and adjust the flap linkages. Two

.074 x 4" Threaded End Rods and Nylon

Clevises are supplied to make the flap pushrods.

The flap pushrods are connected to the servos

using Nylon Faslinks. Refer to the Control

Surface Throws section for recommended travel.

❏ 3. Reinstall the aileron horns with #2 x 3/8

sheet metal screws. Hookup and adjust the

aileron linkages.

❏ 4. Hookup the aileron servo the same way you

did during wing assembly. Center the servo and

adjust the ailerons to line up with the wing tips

and flaps.

❏ 5. The Rudder is hooked up using a Small

Control Horn and a Nylon Clevis. Mark the

location of the horn and drill two 1/16” pilot holes

about 1/4" deep. Thoroughly soak the holes with

CA. Put a drop of CA on the back of the horn and

screw the horn onto the rudder with two #2 x 3/8"

Sheet Metal Screws.

❏ 6. The retract air valve, air tank and servo

installation can be seen in the photos above and

below.

We found that a micro servo worked well for

actuating the air valve

. The tank fits in the built-in

cradle in formers F-5 and F-6. It can be secured

with two #2 x 3/8" screws (not supplied) and a

rubber band, or silicone glue.

❏ 7. Nylon Faslinks are recommended for internal

elevator and rudder hookups. Refer to the photos

and plans for proper servo and horn orientation.

❏ 8. Due to the variety of engine configurations

and each modeler’s

preferred

method, no throttle

hookup materials are included with this kit. We

used a 2-56 Threaded Ball Link Connector

(#GPMQ3850) at the throttle and a Screw-Lock

Pushrod Connector (GPMQ3870) at the servo,

joined with a wire-in-tube .074 threaded one

end pushrod.

RETRACTS

❏ 1. Hook up the air lines to the retracts and route

them to the center of the wing. Hint: For more

scale retract speed, insert air restrictors in the four

lines that connect to the retracts. Position the

restrictors at the retract end of the line.

❏ 2. Install the retracts, hook them up following

the manufacturer’s instructions, then test

their operation.
