Building V-Tails and Wings

Time required

• Building: 30 minutes

Tools required

• UHU Por glue

• spatula

• silicone

• (1.2mm drill)

Parts required

• Servos with assembled servo arm

• servo push rods

• (optional: flexible tube)

Preparing the wings

Preparing and installing the servo pushrods

You can choose between two methods to mount the servo rods to the servo horns. If you don't want to drill a hole in the rudder horn, you can also use a flexible tube with and circumference of 2mm.

Tube Method

For the long two Pushrods cut off 150mm long wires, and 15mm long tube pieces and put the tube on one end like this:

Now bend the wires with the tube:

Now the other side like this:

Repeat the process with two 75mm long wires.

Drilling Method

Main Wing Puhsrods - 130mm

Puhsrods for the V-Tails - 75mm

Drill 1mm holes into the rudder horns

Install the carbon

V-Tails

Put glue on the carbon rod and the corresponding place in the vtail. Wait 10 minutes and push the rod into the corresponding place.

Wings

Apply UHU-POR to the surface marked yellow in the picture.

Put the carbon wing pipe into the glue and remove it again so that the glue gets to the contact dry. Wait about 10 minutes.

When putting back the carbon parts apply high force to get a better stabillity.

Installing the rudder horn

Put glue on the lower part of the ruder horn. Put glue on the wing part.

ruder horn with glue

Insert the ruder horn into the wing and apply pressure:

Now cut free the rudder of the V-Tail:

Repeat the process with the Wings.

Installing the servos into the wings

Make sure the servo is centered before installing the servo into the wing. Make sure the servo arm is installed with a O-Ring inbetween the servo arm and the servo housing.

Add the O-Ring and some grease or oil

Center all the servos (neutral position)

Installing the servos in the main wings

Before continuing with glueing the servos and cable into the wing make sure the carbon tubes are inserted into the wings.

There is a right and wrong way:

The short wire part after the angled part at the rudder horn is on the plane inside.

Center the ailerons - then attach the rudder horn on the servo

Only then attach and tighten the screw

Add silicon at the cable connection to the servo - this part can be problematic otherwise

Finished Servo

Also fix the cables with silicon

The cables on the wings/V-tails shoult look like this:

V-Tails

Again - center the rudder and then put the rudder horn on the servo

Finalization & Testing

• are the carbon pipes glued in?

• do the servos work?

• are the cables and servos glued in?
