Completing the model
Mark contact surfaces of fin and tailplane and do not cover. Then cover components of model with your favourite covering material.
Iron-on film is the quickest method to achieve an attractive finish. Because of ist texture we suggest you use for your Pepper iron-on fabric, which is
available in many attractive colours. As an alternative you may want to cover your model with paper and apply a semi-gloss finish. Due to its low weight
and aerodynamic advantages this kind of finish will considerably enhance the model´s performance and flying characteristics.
In any case, we recommend you choose bright and contrasting colours for the model´s finish. This will make it easier to identify the model in the air.
Glue in place tail skid R51 in R50 (see building step 29). Attach elevator to tailplane with hinge tape (top and bottom!). Glue tailplane and fin in place.
From the rear slide elevator control snake into snake outer and attach clevis to control horn. Install pushrod connector R49 to elevator servo arm, install
servo and slide elevator control snake into connector.
Attach ailerons to wing with tape (top and bottom!). Install aileron servos in servo trays, install servo trays in wing and secure with screws F31. Install
clevises F34 on threaded pushrods F33, cut threaded rods to length and make a Z-bend at free end .
Install motor and radio equipment, connect servos and adjust to neutral position. Connect ailerons and elevator and adjust control throws. Control
throws for elevator are +/- 8 mm, for ailerons 8 mm up, 5 mm down.
Place battery in fuselage beneath the wing and adjust centre of gravity (80-82 mm behind leading edge). Secure battery with hook abd loop tape at
established location.
Have fun with your Pepper!
Recommended settings
Centre of gravity: 80 - 82 mm behind leading edge
Elevator: 8/8 mm
Ailerons: 8 mm up, 5 mm down
