17. Completing the rudder horn and linkage
Fit the socket-head grubscrew 28 in the swivel connector
barrel 27, and snap it into the "Twin" horn 26.
Apply Zacki ELAPOR® to the recess for the horn, and push
the horn into place as shown in the illustration.
Engage the pre-formed end of the rudder pushrod 31 in the
centre hole in the servo output arm, and slip the straight end
of the rod through the hole in the swivel barrel 27. Check the
neutral position before tightening the socket-head grubscrew
28 using the allen key 29.

18. Installing the motor (powered glider version)
Screw the motor to the motor bulkhead 50 as described in
the instructions supplied in the power set.
Fig. 19
Connect the speed controller and check the direction of
rotation of the motor shaft (without fitting the propeller) from
the transmitter: when you look at the motor from the front,
the output shaft must rotate anti-clockwise. If this is not the
case, swap over any two of the three power wires to the
motor.
Caution: never connect the flight battery to the speed
controller unless your transmitter is already switched on,
and you are certain that the throttle control is at the "OFF"
position.
Secure the speed controller in the fuselage with Velcro (hook-
and-loop) tape, and fix the power wires to the fuselage side
with hot-melt adhesive.
The Solius brushless power set # 33 3660 including battery
constitutes an excellent power system for the model.
The components in our power set have been thoroughly
tested, and are carefully matched to each other. Of course,
you may wish to use different batteries, controllers, motors
or radio control system components at your own discretion,
but we will not be able to offer support if you do so.
Alternatively the model can be completed as a pure glider.
For this version you simply have to glue the glider nose cone
10 to the tip of the fuselage. As an option for the glider version
you may wish to install an aero-tow mechanism # 72 3470.
This is actuated using a scrap piece of snake outer sleeve (3
/ 2 mm Ø) and a length of 1 mm Ø steel rod.
19. Installing the spinner and propeller
First attach the folding propeller blades 82 to the propeller
hub 80 using the cheesehead screws 75 (M3 x 20 mm) and
the self-locking nuts 76. Tighten the screws just to the point
where the propeller blades swivel smoothly when folded back,
but exhibit no lost motion.
Now slip the prepared propeller hub onto the taper collet 79
as shown in the illustration, before fitting the whole assembly
onto the motor shaft. Note that there should be about 1 mm
clearance between the propeller hub and the front face of the
fuselage.
Slip the plain washer 72 on the propeller hub, followed by the
shakeproof washer 73, and then fit and tighten the M8 nut
74. Ensure that the clearance between the propeller hub and
the fuselage is still present! The spinner 81 is secured using
the M2.5 x 12 screw 77.

20. Installing the battery retainer system
First attach the retaining strap 25 to the lower recess in the
battery support plate 51, then glue the plate 51 in the front of
the fuselage using hot-melt adhesive.
Fig. 21
21. Installing the main wheel
Install the wheel 12 in the wheel frame 52 together with the
two spacer sleeves 43, and secure it with the M3 x 30 mm
screw 38 and the M3 self-locking nut 39. Check that the nut
engages in the hexagonal recess.

22. Preparing the tailplane
Glue the two 400 x 1.3 mm Ø stiffeners in the tailplane 6 to
strengthen it.
Fig. 23
23. Preparing the tailplane
Glue the spreader plate 58 to the top of the tailplane.
Fig. 24
24. Attaching the horn to the elevator
The elevator horn 60 should be glued to the underside of the
elevator. Take care that no adhesive runs into the pushrod
sleeve (cross-hole).
Fig. 25
25. Tubular spars
The tubular spar sleeves / and spar tubes 64 + 65 are already
installed in the wings, but the ends need to be cleaned up
slightly so that they are an easy sliding fit in the opposite rib
when the model is assembled.
Fig. 26
26. Reinforcing the ailerons, freeing up the hinges
Glue the stiffening tubes 67 in the appropriate channels in
the ailerons.
When you have done this, cut the ailerons free at both ends
and flex them up and down repeatedly until the hinge lines
move freely. On no account cut off the ailerons along the
hinge line!
Fig. 27
Tip: if the hinge line should tear at any time, a drop or two of
cyano will repair the damage.
27. Installing the aileron servos
The first step is to set the servos to neutral from the transmitter.
Fit the output arms on the servo shafts, angled forward by
two splines relative to the case sides (prepare the servos as
a mirror-image pair). This arrangement provides mechanical
aileron differential, if your transmitter does not feature suitable
electronic facilities (differential mixer). Angling the output arms
in this way ensures by mechanical means that the up-travel
of the ailerons is greater than their down-travel.

28. Installing the root ribs
Attach the retaining clips 55 to the left root rib 53 and right
root rib 54 using the screws 37. Push the 8 x 2 mm O-rings
41 over the retaining clips to keep them under light tension.
