Default Online manual

Hi,

I'm looking at your website, I'm interested in your ARF, but I would like to see, before buying, the assembly manual, could it be possible!

Thanks

There are manuals for only a few planes on line.

Which plane are you looking at?

Nope none of those have on-line manuals.

BTW: Since those are relatively "simple" planes I'd imagine that other than the C.G. and throws the manual would not be of much help anyway.

The build is relatively straight forward. Standard servos are used, etc.

Your right it’s a relatively easy ARF to assemble, if you have assembled a single center aileron servo before. The problem I’m having is trying to figure where 1 part goes (a single piece of hardwood wave shape and is covered) and should there be a build up for the servo mount or do you glue the wings together around the servo using the wing as your servo mount, which means you can’t ever remove the servo once the wings are glued, because of the notch you have to make for the servo lead at the bottom of the wing. The instructions I received were for an Explorer 60 that shows a 2 servo aileron setup 1 on each wing. Any ideas?

If you have the single servo mount, ( remember that I may not have seen exactly the same configuration you are talking about... ) then cut out the covering from where the servo will go. Do not cut the surrounding wood.

Glue two small ply rectangular shaped thin "blocks" where the servo screws would go, and let dry.

Then drill and screw the servo screws into these blocks to hold the servos in place.

Re: Hardwood.

Could you post a picture of the part you are talking about?

Thank-you for getting back to me as quick as you did, very much appreciated.
In picture #1 is the pre cut servo hole, as you can see in picture #3 the hole is oversized leaving about ¼†space on each side of the servo and exact fit front & back. In Picture #2 you can see the notch I made using a dermal small drum sander attachment to accommodate the servo lead... Picture #4 shows the servo in 1 side of the wing. Picture #5 is the part that I can’t recognize but, fits perfect in the premade servo hole ether way see Picture #6 & 7 if this is correct which way should the large end be pointed? The piece is 1/8 “thick. Hope this helps you with your solution to my problem
Thank-you

The hole in the wing is wider than the servo so there is a place for the lead to come out. The other piece you are looking at is most likely a skid to go on the back of the fuselage bottom to protect it. There should be a slot near the back of the fuselage it will fit in to.

Like he said!

Before you put the servo in, make yourself two small rectangular pieces of ply larger than the "ears" of the servos.

Remove a bit of covering and epoxy these pieces in on either side of where the servo screws go, to act as a reinforcement plate for the screws.

As Basinbeater mentioned, it is normal to have a gap on either side of the servo... you can shove the servo to one side, so as to center it as much as possible too.
