I 1. Aileron control surfaces installation: Start by using a sharp hobby knife blade to cut through the covering and expose the factory-cut hinge slots. Insert supplied hinges into their slots and trial fit the aileron control surface on the wing panel. Check that it moves freely without binding. Once you are satisfied with the fit use a medium CA glue to permanently bond the control surface in place.

I 3. Wing installation: Lower left wing with metal fittings installed. Upper left wing with metal fittings install Before you glue the metal fittings into place trial fit them onto the wing panels and check with the pictures attached. Insert metal fittings onto both upper and lower wing panels as shown. Ensure all metal fittings are fully inserted into the slots and in the correct orientation to avoid misalignment.

Then slid tube as shown. 490mm - 0 - 0- - ® Insert #5 and #6 metal fittings into their slots with one in the front and one in the rear respectively. Please note the orientation of the metal fittings by referring to the diagram shown above.

Lower w1ng You may use any standard size servo with a 6 7Kg/cm torque for the aileron controL Use 4 off 8 x 12mm self tapping screws t o secure the servo to the servo mount cover as shown. Ensure the servo control horn can move freely without rubbing the opening and trim the servo mount to fit if required.
6. Wing interplane strut setup and installation: T hread the servo lead through the rib's opening Prepare the control linkage to connect the servo control :arm to the control horn. To temporary secure the aileron control surface in a neutral position, you may use a piece of masking tape and tape it to the wing's trailing edge. Then install the pushrod to the linkage stopper on one side and link up the other side with the clevis.
I 1. Wing interplane struts installation Please refer to the illustration for the correct orientation and the exact mounting position. Use M3 x 8 hex screws and lock nuts to secure them in place.
First install the left wheel axle onto the left Landing gear half as shown. Next install the wheel pant on the wheel axle and use the holes on the metal plate as a template and drill two holes on the wheel pant for mounting purposes. Then install a wheel collar on the axle fol lowed by a wheel. Lock the wheel collar on the axle by tightening the grub screws. Finally, align the wheel in the center of the opening and ensure it spins freely without rubbing. Repeat this process for the right side Landing gear.
9. Landing Gear installation: Install both Landing gear halves to the bottom of the fuselage and secure them in place using the supplied 6 hex screws. M4 X 1 2 6 hex screws Use the supplied 1 mm x 3mm self tapping screws to secure both L +R fairings to the fuselage as shown. ■ii7ii�lil:i·MFf ... ... ...
00MM BALSA AR I 10. Horizontal Stabilizer Installation: Pie. A Inserted the stabiiizer into the slot as shown, see picture A. Once aligned, use a fine felt-tipped pen to trace the outline of the fuselage on the top and bottom of the stabilizer, see picture B. Remove the stabilizer from the fuselage and then mark a cutting line which is about 1 mm inside the marked line, see picture C. Use a sharp hobby blade to lightly cut along the cutting line and ensure you don't cut into the wood beneath it.
I11. Elevator servo and linkage installation : Install a control horn on the underside of the right hand elevator halve as shown below and glue into place. Ensure the clevis mounting hole is aligned to the hinge line to achieve a symmetrical control throw. Then using the hinges to install both elevator halves to the stabilizer. Please ensure the U-shaped joining wire is located through the slot and inserted into the elevator halves as shown.
I 11. Elevator servo and linkage installation : Pushrod =----------------- Clevis� First you need to make a small cut in the film covering material for the pushrod exit. In order to do this neatly, gently insert the supplied q>0.9 mm piano wire (Non clevis side) into the pushrod sleeve in the radio compartment and slowly feed the piano wire until it touches the flim covering. This will let you know exactly where the pushrod exit is at the rear of the fuselage.
Then, trial fit the tail wheel plastic cover onto the fuselage and align as shown. You may use the white color trim on the covering to align it properly. When you are satisfied with the fit use some masking tape to hold it in place. Next, use the marked line on the covering film as a reference and mark a new line on the tailwheel cover. Pic#3 ��---····· Install the flying wire mounting plate by using the supplied 2.5 x 6mm self tapping screws to secure it in place.
I 13. Tailwheel installation: Mounting plate �----:!I. Insert the tail wheel into the metal bracket, push the pin through the bracket and the wheel using pliers. Insert a C-clip into the groove on each side of the pin. � � M3 x 8 hex screws Install the tail wheel assembly onto the plywood with 2 o� M3x 8 hex screws. L.:::====;;;;::.___ a;:::,a____ - Please note: The hinge and the scale like u-shaped rudder control horn has to be installed prior to the rudder installation.
I 14. Rudder servo and linkage installation : Before we start making the cables and fnstalllng them remove all the supplied c-ables, threaded studs. adjustable pushrod adjusters and clevises from the accessory bag. You need to make 2 pull-pun cables to allow the rudder to work. Ffrst. cut 2 lengths of cable that are long enough to reach from the servo to the rudder control horn plus about 40.50mm or so. this will make it easier for you to make the Joops on the ends and crimp the tube.
I 1s. Flying wires riggings : Trial fit the flying w ires between the vertical fin and the stabilizer. Ensure the empennage is straight and true before you secure the clevis onto the pushrod with CA glue. A A' At this stage switch on your radio control system and check that the elevator and rudder are working correctly and free from binding.
I 16. Bottom wing installation: Lower wing joiner tube Insert the lower wing joiner tube through the sleeve in the fuselage. Then slide the left wing onto the wing joiner tube until it is up against the wing saddle (See pie #1 ). Ensure the wing locking tab has aligned with the hole in the wing mounting box (See pie #2). Finally lock the wing in place by using the supplied M3x8 screw. Please follow the same procedure to install the right wing.

Then connect the pushrod between the upper and lower wing ailerons. Adjust the length of the pushrods so that the top ailerons are neutral when the bottom ailerons are neutral. Here are some more pies to let you have a better understanding of the flying wires connections.

rB, 1400MM BALSA ARF Due to the fact that this Biplane has got a very short nose moment it can become a bit tail heavy even if we had designed a strong yet light tail. We have come up with a new battery tray design which helps to achieve the correct C of G without having to add extra ballast in the nose which saves overall weight. In order to do this we place the battery pack in the very front of the fuselage right against the firewall.
