Kyosho Melody 1500
Hey All,
I recently aquired an estate collection of RC stuff. Included is an unflown Kyosho Melody 1500. It has servos installed, tail attached, but the wings are still in the bag. I located what looks like a joiner/dihedral rod. One wing has a brass sleeve installed, on the other wing the sleeve is loose in the bag along with the rod. The rod fits loosely in holes in the Fuselage. On the bottom of the wing are 2 lugs at the wing root that line up with larger holes in the side of teh fuselage.
Does any one know how this all goes together?
I could fabricate and fudge but would like to know how it was meant to be first. I can find nothing on the net about this plane. I wish Kyosho would post old manuals like Great Planes does.
Thanks for any help,

Oh dear, the old melody eh?
A nice looking little plane, but overwieght and a little let down with it's feeble wing section.
Not to mention even more feeble rudder and tail. If i were you I'd be looking to fit a bigger rudder first off, and flying only from the slope
I think I might have the booklet, I'll check when I get home.

The rod goes through the upper hole in the fuse. The studs at the base of each wing are used to hold the wings to the fuselage using your trusty rubber band. I had one briefly, but it never made it past the training period and I gave up after waiting six months for the backordered wings that never showed. And this was back around 1990.
