Replacing a Wing
To replace the wing(s):
1. Remove the bottom fuselage cover from the bottom of the aircraft.
2. Use a magnetized screwdriver to remove the four screws from the bottom of
the aircraft that hold the top fuselage cover.
3. Lift at the rear of the top fuselage cover and pull rearward to disengage the
clips at the front of the cover, then remove the cover.
4. Power your transmitter and the aircraft ON and move the wing swing
mechanism to the wings fully out position.
5. Disengage the wing swing mechanism from the wing
6. Remove the pivot bolt and rotate the wing off the wing swing mechanism.
7. Install the new wing on the wing swing mechanism.
8. Replace the pivot bolt.
9. Snap the wing swing linkage back together.
10. Verify the wing swing mechanism is working correctly.
11. Replace the top cover. Insert the two clips at the leading edge of the cover into
their respective slots in the fuselage and ensure the hatch is moved forward to
fully engage the clips.
12. Reinstall the screws for the top fuselage cover.
13. Reinstall the bottom fuselage cover.
14. Verify the wing swing mechanism is working correctly.
Replacing The Taileron
In the event a taileron needs to be replaced or the taileron control mechanism needs
maintenance, the servo linkages need to be reset for the correct center position.
To re-center the full ying taileron(s):
1. Remove the bottom fuselage cover
on the bottom of the aircraft.
2. Loosen the set screw in the
control horn to enable removal of
the taileron. Repair or replace as
necessary.
3. Re-install the taileron and ensure
the setscrew is tightened onto the
at spot on the taileron pivot shaft.
4. Turn ON the transmitter and
connect power to the aircraft with
the throttle cut activated and in
AS3X mode.
5. Verify the taileron servos are
working correctly and the trim is
centered. Disconnect the power
from the aircraft (linear actuator
servos can be set up without power
once centered, unlike rotary servos).
6. Install the pushrod and check the
center position.
7. If the taileron leading edge is not centered with the fuselage seam as described
in the Control Surface Centering section, adjust the length of the pushrod.
8. Do not use electronic trim to make this adjustment, the taileron needs to be
mechanically centered with the electronic trim at neutral.
