Glue the hinges into the slots in wing and aileron, using CA
or PVA glue. The glue should be very liquid for better
glueing results.
Mount the aileron servo as shown in the picture with 2
screws. Search the center position with servo tester or RC
and attach the servo lever parallel to the aileron.
During assembly, look for correct angles and position of
the aileron. If the aileron is in neutral position, the servo
lever and the linkage should include an angel of 90 de-
grees.
Before glueing the flap lever to the flap, renove the film
carefully from the balsa wood. Use 10 min. Epoxy glue for
mounting the levers.
Left wing, lower side Right wing, lower side After assembly of all aileron linkages, look for the correct
center position of aileron and adjust it if necessary. If
position is ok, lock all screws, which blue locking agent.
Lets begin...

For testing all matchings put all elevator parts into the
section of the fuselage.
Take care for a symmetric position of the elevator and
mark along the fuselage, using a fine and non permanent

Glue the hinges with CA- or PVA glue into the rudder and
rudder flaps.
Look for easy movement!!
Feel out the frame for rudder servo and open the frame,
using a sharp hobby knife. Fix the servo like shown in the
picture with servo lever pointing down.
Find the correct highness of rudder lever and mark position. Remove covering film under the rudder lever basement
carefully. Glue the rudder lever with epoxy glue to the
rudder. If epoxy is hardened, mount the rudder linkage and
lock screws with blue locking agent.
Feel out the servo frame for elevator servo and open with
hobby knife carefully. Mount the servo with screws, the
servo lever is pointing up.

The propeller, not included in the kit should be balanced
as good as possible.
Assemble prop and spinner. The best result for balancing
you can get, if you have the possibility to balance the
propeller together with the spinner.

setscrews. Lock with blue locking agent.
You can make a little flat spot onto the motor shaft at the
position of one setscrew. So you can get more stability.
During mounting the spinner cap do not tighten the screws
to strong, because the thread could be damaged.
Use the attached velcro tape, to fix the battery inside the
body. Fasten the battery, using Fliteworks battery tape
(order no.: 008-501).
To fix the receiver, you can use double sided adhesive
