the pushrod to a hole closer in (to the elevator) will increase

the throw. Moving the pushrod to a hole farther out will

decrease the throw. Moving the pushrod on the servo arms

has the opposite effect.

2. Set the rudder control throw the same way. Rudder

throw should be 1" [25mm] right and 1" [25mm] left.

3. After the control throws have been set, use medium-

grit sandpaper to thoroughly roughen the ends of the

pushrods where they go through the control horns. Add a

pushrod retainer to each control rod and secure with a

drop of medium CA.

Apply the Decals

Use scissors or a sharp hobby knife to cut out the decals.

You can apply the decals dry, or spray the surface where the

decal is to be applied with window cleaner. Then, apply the

decal and squeegee out the cleaner with a soft sheet of

balsa. This will remove air bubbles from under the decals for

the best appearance.

IMPORTANT: Do not overlook this important procedure.

Failure to balance the model at the specified C.G. (center

of gravity) may result in an unflyable model.

1. Use narrow strips of tape to mark the C.G. (center of

gravity) on the bottom of both wings 3-7/8" [98mm] from the

leading edge of the wing.

2. Mount the wings to the fuselage boom by fitting them

into the wing mounts.

3. If you haven't done so already, mount the propeller to

the motor. At this stage the model should be in ready-to-fly

condition with all of the components installed, including the

wheels, battery, receiver, speed controller, etc.
