struts can be securely inserted into the opposite fin when assembling
the model.
30. Sticking the leading edges to the wings
From the wing tip, first stick on the outer leading edge segment
To do so, place the wings on the table so that the front area protrudes over
the edge of the table. Now draw continuous 'tracks' of Zacki ELAPOR®
on both sides, inside the leading edge, approx. 2 mm away from the
edge. Position the hollow needle of the adhesive on the opposite edge
to the guide and apply adhesive in a straight line. Position the leading
edge from the outside on the wing and press on with your fingers for
some time, sliding your fingers up and down. If necessary, remove any
escaping glue. Proceed in the same manner with the inner leading edge

Press on the fins immediately with both hands forcefully and allow the
glue to set.

33. Affixing the leading edges to the transition segments
Stick the left and right leading edge filling pieces
roots and the leading edges.
To do so, apply a little glue slightly away from the edge on the inside of
the filling piece and position before affixing. If necessary, remove any
escaping glue.

34. Reinforcing the ailerons and the flaps
Stick the stainless steel reinforcement tubes
corresponding longitudinal recesses of the wings (rudder flaps) (4x flat
with CA adhesive). Fix the ends with a bit of hot glue as well.
Caution: At first, do not apply any glue in the area of the rudder horn
indentations.

36. Cutting free the aileron and the camber-changing flaps
Cut the rudders free at the front sides using a cutter / backsaw and bend
the rudder flaps up and down several times in order to make the hinges
smoother. Under no circumstances may the rudders be separated from
the hinge line!
37. Preparing the aileron servos
㊱
8 x
Caution: Due to the uneven number of teeth, the servo arms are not
exchangeable by 180° exactly. Therefore, be sure to adjust / mount the
arms on the servo first, and only then shorten them inversely.
First position the servos electrically into the neutral position. Then mount
the servo arm one tooth turned forward toward the housing (two
servos mirror-inverted). This setting enables the mechanic differentiation
of the ailerons. The differentiation is now mechanically attuned so that the
rudder deflections upward are larger than downward.
In addition, the servo arms can be turned again by the same distance
further out of the middle position (offset) using the transmitter. With this
setting, you can achieve even larger deflections upward. As a result, even
larger butterfly deflections can be achieved.
This is helpful for landing in confined spaces or ridge lifts.

38. Preparing the camber-changing servos (flaps)
For the flap servos, the servo arms are turned into the neutral position
one tooth turned backward toward the housing (two servos mirror-
inverted). The possible deflection is enlarged downward as a result!
Here, an offset can additionally be set on the transmitter – the rods are
slightly longer in this case.
Fig. 29
39. Shortening the servo arms
For all four wing servos, the double arms are completely cut off on one
side and shortened on the other. For shortening, cut precisely through
the third hole from the inside so that the two inner holes can still be
used. This can be done most effectively using a small side cutter. For this,
cut off two left and two right / mirror-inverted arms after mounting on the

servos. It is necessary to shorten them to ensure the servo hoods can be
mounted later.
40. Fitting the aileron / camber-changing servos (flaps)
