fuselage. Connect the servos to the Vee tail horns using a the etched Teflon
housing and 0.40 dia. carbon pushrods.
The Tow hook should be positioned approximately 6 to 10 mm in front of the
CG. (Adjust to suit personal taste)
Organic 2 M SP & 2.5 SP
The completed 2 M model should balance at a point about 80-87 mm from the
leading edge of the wing and the 2.5 SP 95-102 mm.
Add lead to the nose of the model to achieve this. The centre of gravity can
only be correctly positioned when the model is flown, as the ultimate position is
one of personal choice. Once the correct CG position is determined, bond the
lead into the nose of the model.
It is better to carry extra battery power than lead nose weight.
Note: - The R/C equipment is mounted on the underside of the inner fuselage;
Nicad and receiver must be secured in place with waterproof tape to ensure
that they remain in their correct place when the sheath nose is removed.
Mark the position of the receiver, battery and servos on the inner nose. Cut out
rectangular slots for each component. Fit the servos by screwing down onto
plywood or epoxy board strips placed on the under surface of the inner nose.
The positions of the servos and the Receiver in the inner nose can be reversed
from that shown in the sketch below if desired.
Strengthen the fuselage around the area of the tow hook mounting plate using
multi layers of glass cloth and Epoxy resin, Bond in place a 3 mm thick epoxy
board plate to spread the launching load across the fuselage. Strengthen with
glass cloth.
Flying the model can only accurately set the tow hook and CG positions; they
are also a matter of personal taste.
5.) Electric Flight version: -
An electric flight fuselage is available as an optional extra.
Prepare a motor mounting ring from plywood at least 5 mm thick, or a laminate
of 1.5 mm epoxy board and 3 mm plywood. Bond the motor mounting ring into
the fuselage with epoxy resin and micro fibre or chopped strands and carbon
fibre tows.
The batteries will fit behind the motor and into the space under the wing
mounting. The elevator and rudder servos should be fitted to the rear of the
space under the wing mounting.
