4. Gluing the servos in the fuselage shells

to the fuselage sides, so that they cannot get in the way
when the two fuselage shells are joined. Figs. 04 + 05
5. Preparing the control snakes
Cut down the snake sleeves to the following length:
Elevator snake 63
Rudder snake 64
Note: the best way to shorten the snake sleeves is to
hold a balsa knife in the correct position, and then roll the
VOHHYH WR DQG IUR WR VFRUH WKH PDWHULDO WKH VOHHYH FDQ WKHQ
be snapped at the scored point. This procedure does not
distort or squash the sleeve, ensuring that the steel inner
pushrod will slide smoothly.
6. Preparing the steel pushrods
Cut down the steel inner pushrods to the following length:
Elevator pushrod 61
Rudder pushrod 62
Now slip the pushrod 61 in the sleeve 63 - both parts are
the longer versions. Slip the rod 62 in the sleeve 64 - both
parts are the shorter versions.
7. Deploying the control snakes in the fuselage
Start with the right-hand fuselage shell 4: connect the pre-
IRUPHG HQG RI WKH ORQJHU UXGGHU SXVKURG 62 to the right-
hand servo output arm. Now gently bend the pushrod and
snake sleeve to the point where they can be slipped through
the slot in the tail end of the fuselage. Position the sleeve so
that it ends at the foam block immediately aft of the servo.
Tack the sleeve in place initially with a few drops of glue,
so that it cannot fall out. It is glued in place permanently at
a later stage, when the square aluminium tube is installed.
Fig. 06
Continue with the left-hand fuselage shell 3: connect the
shorter pushrod 61 to the servo output arm. In this case
position the snake sleeve so that it ends at the point where
the channel opens out into the tailplane crank chamber at
the tail end of the fuselage.

fuselage shell 4, pushing it full-depth into the channel. Take
care to keep it perfectly straight: sight along the bottom
edge of the fuselage from the tail end, and ensure that the
fuselage is dead straight.

properly.
Apply adhesive to the contact surfaces of the fuselage
shells and the aluminium stiffener tube 65, leaving a gap
about 5 mm wide at the outside edges, so that the glue is
not forced out of the joints. Place the parts together and
set the fuselage exactly straight. Apply a few strips of tape
across the joints while the glue is hardening. Sight along
the bottom edge of the fuselage joint seam from the tail end
to check that the fuselage really is straight.
Fig. 08
Note: you will surely have noticed that the servo leads are
now permanently trapped. Normally you will never have to
replace a servo, but if this should prove necessary, you can
cut away the foam block between the servos, then glue it
back in place after installing the replacement.
10. Installing the motor in the fuselage nose fairing
The Panda Sport brushless power set # 33 3662 includes a
suitable rechargeable battery, and forms the perfect power
system for the model.
The components supplied in this power set have been
extensively tested, and are accurately matched to each
other. If you prefer to use a different battery, speed controller,
motor or RC system components, that is up to you, but we
would then be unable to provide support if a problem were
to occur.
Fix the PERMAX BL-O 2812-1100 electric motor to the
fuselage nose fairing / motor bulkhead 42.1 using two of
the M3 x 6 mm machine screws and washers included in

is to look at the fuselage from the underside, and line up
