BushMule V2 Manual

ASSEMBLY:

1. Vertical and Horizontal Tail Surfaces

1. Flex all control surfaces (Elevator and rudder) to loosen the hinge joint.

2. Attach the horizontal stabilizer, and then insert the vertical stabilizer. Slot the front in first then

push home the rear of the vertical stabilizer, make sure this is a secure firm fit. Use two 2mm x

45mm self-tapping screws to mount the tail surfaces to the rear of the fuselage.

3. If you have no need to remove these parts or if you are going to push the BushMule to its

extreme flight envelope, the Avios team suggests that you apply either foam safe contact

adhesive or a long set time 2-part epoxy on these tail surfaces.

4. Use a Servo tester to center your elevator and rudder servos, then adjust the clevises until you

have a level and zeroed control service. (Hint: Placing some fuel tube or a small zip tie over

the clevis will stop it opening, very good for security and peace of mind.)

2. Landing Gear

1. Insert the landing gear leg into 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). The V2 has upgraded servo connection components.

2. 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.

3. Attach the main landing gear (re-positioned on the V2), simply insert the pre-bent wire of the

landing gear into the slot in the center of the fuselage. Use the two mounting brackets and the

four 2mm x 13mm self-tapping screws to secure the main gear.
