User Manual

1. Vertical and Horizontal Tail Surfaces
• Flex all control surfaces (Elevator and rudder) to loosen the hinge joint.
• Attach the Horizontal tailplane and then insert the vertical stabilizer with the front first then home the
rear of the vertical stabilizer. Make sure this is a secure firm fit. Use 2 2mm x 45mm self-tapping
screws to mount the tail surfaces to the rear of the fuselage.
• The Avios team suggests that you apply either foam safe contact adhesive or a long set time 2-part
epoxy on these tail surfaces. If you have no need to remove these parts or if you are going to push
the Bushmule to its extreme flight envelope.
• Use a Servo tester to centre your elevator and rudder servos, then adjust the clevises until you
have a level and zeroed control service. (Hint-Placing some fuel tube or small zip tie the secure the
clevis is always a good for security and peace of mind.)
2. Landing Gear
• Insert from landing gear leg in the front mounting bracket. Centre the nose wheel and tighten the
1.5mm grub screw. (Use a thread lock and make sure the grub screw tightens onto the flat part of
the shaft)
• Centre the nose wheel steering servo with a servo tester and attach the control rod from the servo
arm to the connecting arm of the nose gear shaft.
• Attach the main landing gear, simply insert the pre-bent wire of the landing gear into the slot in the
centre of the fuselage. Use the two mounting brackets and the four 2mm x 13mm self-tapping
screws to secure the main gear.
