Installing The Receiver - Multiplex EasyGlider 4 Instrucciones De Montaje

Fix the speed controller to the fuselage side using hook-and-loop
tape. Attach the motor wires to the bottom of the fuselage using
adhesive tape or a little hot-melt glue, to eliminate any chance of
them contacting the rotating parts of the motor.
The power set recommended by MULTIPLEX is carefully matched
to the EasyGlider 4. There are limits to the structural strength of
the EasyGlider 4 airframe, and if you select different power system
components you must bear this in mind!
4.2 Fitting the spinner and propeller
First mount the propeller blades 63 in the propeller hub 61 using
the M3 x 20 mm cheesehead screws 67 and self-locking nuts 68.
Don't over-tighten the screws / nuts: the propeller blades should
be able to swing down under their own weight, but exhibit no lost
motion (slop). Fit the propeller hub onto the taper collet 60 as
shown in the illustration. This whole assembly can now be slid
onto the motor shaft, taking care to leave a gap of about 1 mm
between the back of the hub and the fuselage.
Place the shake-proof washer 65 on the propeller hub first, followed
by the plain washer 64 and the M8 nut 66. Tighten the nut firmly,
checking at the same time that the gap between the propeller
driver and the fuselage does not alter as you wield the spanner.
Fix the spinner 62 on the front using the M2.5 x 12 mm screw 69.

4.3 Installing the receiver

First locate the plugs attached to the speed controller and servos,
and connect them to the receiver, taking care to push them in to
the bottom of the sockets. Carefully slide the receiver back into
the rear part of the fuselage bay. If necessary, you can pack a
little foam round the receiver to prevent it shifting. Take care not
to block the rear part of the fuselage completely, as it is important
to allow cooling air to flow out of the fuselage through the rear
vents. To preserve ample space for the battery, it is a good idea
to bundle the cables together and fix them to the fuselage sides
with adhesive tape.
CAUTION: the spinning propeller represents a significant
injury risk! Always handle the power system cautiously and
conscientiously. Never stand in line with the propeller, or in
front of it, when the power system is 'live' (connected and
switched on)!
5. ASSEMBLING THE MODEL
5.1 Installing the tail assembly
See paragraph 2.12 for details of installing the tailplane and fin. It
is the plastic screw 26 which holds them in place, so NEVER fly
the model without the screw fitted!
Figs. 18 and 19
5.2 Mounting the wings on the fuselage
The wings are fitted onto the spar 12, which passes through the
fuselage. Slide both wings onto the spar, leaving them about
5 cm from the fuselage on both sides. Locate the plugs on the
aileron servo extension leads, and insert them in the sockets in
the fuselage. When you do this, the cables will help you position
the wings correctly when pushing them 'home'. Check that the
wing panels engage properly in the centre, and line up correctly
with the fuselage. If you find this difficult, you may need to carry
out the following minor adjustment: carefully squeeze the foam
of the wings between your fingers at the point where the panels
enter the fuselage. Note: the wings are designed not to be glued
to the fuselage, as this allows the model to be dismantled for
ease of transport.

5.3 Positioning and securing the battery in the fuselage
The space in the fuselage for the battery is the area under the wing
leading edge. It is important to retain the battery securely, as it must
not be allowed to shift in flight. Fix the pack to the bottom of the
fuselage using hook-and-loop tape. Note that the tape adhesive
is not very strong, and should be augmented with a little Zacki
ELAPOR®. To help keep the battery in place you can simply cut
a suitable wedge from the block of foam 13 supplied, and push
this in above the battery. Here again, take care to leave space
for the cooling air to flow through. The final position of the battery
can only be found when the model is balanced, and the correct
Centre of Gravity established (see paragraph 8).
6. APPLYING THE DECALS
Apply the decals to the EasyGlider 4 as shown in the illustrations
on the packaging.
7. SETTING THE CONTROL SURFACE TRAVELS
It is important to set the correct control surface travels in order to
ensure that the model responds to the controls in a harmonious
manner. Please note that the stated travels are always measured
at the widest part of the control surface. The values stated below
are just a guide, and you may need to adjust them to suit your
personal preference. Positive (+) values mean 'up' movement,
negative (-) values mean down.
Elevator
up (stick towards you)
down (stick away from you)
Rudder
left and right, each
Ailerons
up
down
Spoilers
both ailerons up
Elevator compensation
The "spoiler" function can be used as a landing aid, i.e. to shorten
the landing approach. Both ailerons are deflected up in order to
increase drag, and create an increase in the rate of descent.
When the spoilers are deployed, a negative (down) movement
of the elevator needs to be mixed in to maintain the model in a
stable attitude. This does require a radio control system with the
appropriate mixer facilities
8. SETTING THE CENTRE OF GRAVITY (CG)
Like every other aircraft, your Solius must be balanced at a parti-
cular 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 70 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. The CG can be adjusted
by altering the position of the flight battery. We are unable to state
exact values here due to possible tolerances in material density
and variations in the airborne components. Mark the location of
the airborne components in the fuselage once you have found the
