Connect the aileron servo lead with the 400mm extension
cords # 8 5029th Set the servos and the cable into the
recesses of one. The connections of the power cable must
be 46 mm above the root rib out. Secure the servos with
hot glue to the tabs and insert the cable with transparent
tape on the cable channel.
Fig. 28 + 31 + 31b
28. Installing the root ribs
Attach the retaining clips 55 to the left root rib 53 and right
root rib 54 using the screws 37. Push the 8 x 2 mm O-rings
41 over the retaining clips to keep them under light tension.
Fig. 29
Route the servo leads through the opening in the root rib,
and then glue the root rib to the wing using Zacki ELAPOR®.
Repeat the procedure with the second wing panel.

29. Installing the aileron / flap horns
Fit the socket-head grubscrews 28 in the swivel connector
barrels 27 and snap them into the "Twin 10x20" horns 26.1
in the outer hole. Glue the prepared horns in the recesses
in the ailerons / flaps using Zacki ELAPOR® / hotglue.

30. Installing the aileron pushrods
Connect the pre-formed end of the aileron pushrod 30
(60mm) to the middle hole in the servo output arm.
Connect the pre-formed end of the flap pushrod 30.1
(70mm) to the outer hole in the servo output arm.
Slip the straight end of the pushrod through the swivel barrel
mounted on the aileron horn, and tighten the grubscrew in
the barrel after checking that the servo and aileron are at
neutral. Repeat the procedure with the other wing.

31. Attaching the servo fairings
Place the left servo fairing 61 and the right fairing 62 over
the servos and pushrods as shown in the illustration.

32. Assembling the canopy
The cockpit area looks particularly realistic if you paint the
inside of the canopy frame 5. The best results are obtained
using ELAPOR® COLOR paints. For example, the frame
could be painted grey # 60 2711 and the instrument panel
cover black # 60 2712. The moulded-in seat area and he-
adrest look convincing if painted blue # 60 2703. Allow the
paint to dry before attaching the instrument panel sticker.
If you are not confident with painting, we recommend that
you apply the printed seat sticker from the decal sheet as
well as the instrument panel sticker.
Glue the clear canopy 11 to the canopy frame 5, using an
adhesive such as clear contact cement.
The conventional method of using this type of adhesive is
to allow it to air-dry before joining the parts, but in this case
it is better to apply the glue, fit the canopy immediately, and
tape it temporarily to the fuselage. Allow the glue plenty of
time to dry out. Be sparing with the adhesive, otherwise
you could stick the canopy frame to the fuselage. A piece
20
of thin plastic film between the two parts will prevent this.
The latch tongues 23 should now be glued in the slots in the
canopy frame 5, pushing them in until the "teeth" disappear.
This is the procedure: first glue them in place with Zacki
ELAPOR®, then immediately fit the canopy on the model
so that the latches are able to align themselves accurately.
Wait at least two minutes before removing the canopy again.
Now ply rops of Zacki ELAPOR® super liquid in the gaps
at the latch tongues to reinforce the glued joints.

33. Attaching the wings to the fuselage
Connect the aileron / flap servo plugs to the sockets moun-
ted in the fuselage before sliding the wings into place. The
wings are held against the fuselage by fitting the locking pin
56 between the wings panels. It is a good idea to attach the
locking pin to the inside the fuselage with a length of string
to prevent it becoming lost.

34. Installing the tailplane
Slip the pre-formed end of the elevator pushrod (L-bend)
32 into the elevator horn 60 from the side, then place the
tailplane on the fin.
Fig. 36
35. Securing the tailplane
Fix the tailplane to the fin using the two plastic M5 x 35
screws 35.
Fig. 37
36. Final assembly
Connect the receiver and speed controller, and fix them in
the fuselage using the Velcro straps 20 and 21. Temporarily
install the flight battery to allow you to check the Centre of
Gravity (see Point 38 / Fig. 41).
Fig. 39
The leads which emerge from the rear end of the fuselage
can be bundled together neatly using the cable ties 42
included in the kit.
The canopy is fitted by first engaging it at the rear, then
pressing it down at the front so that the latch tongues en-
gage in the catches.

37. Applying the decals
The kit is supplied with a decal sheet 2; the individual name
placards and emblems are pre-cut. Apply them to the model
in the positions shown in the kit box illustration, or in another
arrangement which you find pleasing.
38. Balancing the model
Like every other aircraft, your Solius must be balanced at a
particular point if it is to fly efficiently and stably. Assemble
the model completely, ready to fly.
The Centre of Gravity should be at a point 65 mm back
from the leading edge of the wing, measured where the
wings meet the fuselage. Support the model at the marked
points on two fingertips, and the aeroplane should balance
level. Adjust the flight battery to balance the model correctly,
