Landing Gear Installation Required Parts Fuselage Tail skid 11/2" (38mm) Wheel (2) 2mm nut (4) 4-40 x 1/2" socket screw (2) 2mm x 6mm wood screw (2) Carbon main gear Wheel pant (2) 2mm x 25mm screw (2) #4 washer (black) (2) 2mm washer (4) Required Tools and Adhesives Threadlock Drill Hobby knife Phillips screwdriver (small) 1/8" (3mm) drill bit Medium CA Hex wrench: 3/32" 1. Slide the 2mm x 25mm screw through one of the wheels. Thread a 2mm nut onto the screw. Slide a 2mm washer onto the screw.
2. Fit the assembly from Step 1 into the wheel pant. Use a 2mm washer and nut to attach the wheel to the lower hole on the landing gear. 4. Drill 1/8" (3mm) holes in the tail for the tail skid. Note: Use threadlock on both nuts to prevent them from loosening during flight. 3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the remaining wheel and pant. 8 Available from: www.modelflight.com.
5. Glue the tail skid into position using Medium CA. 6. Attach the landing gear using a 3/32" hex wrench, two 4-40 x 1/2" socket head screws and two #4 washers (black). 9 Available from: www.modelflight.com.
7. Place the fuselage on its wheels and position the wheel pants parallel to the work surface. Drill a hole through the landing gear into each wheel pant using a hobby knife. 8. Secure the location of the wheel pants using 2mm x 6mm wood screws and a small phillips screwdriver. 10 Available from: www.modelflight.com.
Aileron Hinging Required Parts Wing (left and right) CA hinges (8) Required Tools and Adhesives 3/32" (2.5mm) drill bit T-pins Paper towel Aileron (left and right) 1. Locate the positions for the hinges. Drill a 3/32" (2.5mm) hole in the center of each slot. This creates a tunnel for the CA, allowing the CA to penetrate into the hinge better, bonding the hinges more securely. Drill Thin CA 11 Available from: www.modelflight.com.
2. Slide four hinges into the slits in the wing. Center the slot in the hinge with the hole drilled in Step 1. Place a T-pin in each hinge to prevent it from being pushed into the wing when installing the aileron. Note: Do not use CA accelerator during the hinging process. The CA must be allowed to soak into the hinge to provide the best bond. Using accelerator will not provide enough time for this process. 12 Available from: www.modelflight.com.
3. Slide the aileron into position. Check to make sure it can move without interference at the wing root. Remove the T-pins and apply Thin CA to each hinge. Make sure the hinge is fully saturated with CA. Use a paper towel to clean up any excess CA from the wing and aileron. Make sure to apply CA to both sides of the hinge. 4. Firmly grasp the wing and aileron and gently pull on the aileron to ensure the hinges are secure and cannot be pulled apart.
5. Work the aileron up and down several times to work in the hinges and check for proper movement. Aileron Servos and Linkages Required Parts Wing panel (right and left) Micro control connector (2) 2mm x 4mm screw (2) 4" (100mm) pushrod (2) Control horn and backplate (2) Servos: JR 241 Sub-micro servo (JRPS241) (2) Large Arm w/Screws (JRPA212) (2) Required Tools and Adhesives Hobby knife 6-minute epoxy 6" (150mm) servo extension (2) String Phillips screwdriver (small) 6.
1. Install the grommets and brass eyelets on the servo using instructions provided with the radio system. Attach a 6" (150mm) servo extension. Use string to secure the servo lead and extension to prevent them from unplugging in flight. 2. Place the servo in the wing. Guide the servo lead out through the opening at the wing root. Note: We suggest using the Large Arms w/ Screws (JRPA212) on all JR® servos for the Mini Funtana. Replace all existing arms before installing the servos. 15 Available from: www.
3. Secure the aileron servo using the screws provided with the servo. 4. Use a hobby knife to enlarge the center hole in the control horn to fit the 4" (100mm) long aileron pushrod wire. 5. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 for the other wing panel. 16 Available from: www.modelflight.com.
