The main steps to building the wings (pictures coming soon)
- drill servo arms to fit push rods
- Fit and mount servos
- adjust servo arms for neutral point
- Fit spar cap
- Glue in spar cap
- attach spar capture tube
- install control linkages
drill servo arms to fit push rods
use a #50 or 5/64″ drill so the push rod will fit through
Fit and mount servos
fit servos
add extensions
run the wires and tack them down.
Fit spar cap
- notch spar cap to fit wires
Glue in spar cap
- coat spar with goo
- coat spar cap area with goo
- make sure to align end of spare with end of wing
- tape weight down spare cap, allow to cure
- finish edges with CA and kicker
attach spar capture tube
- Cut tube in half
- rough surfaces with sand paper
- mix JB weld and apply to spar
- slide on capture tube
- clean up excess
- allow to cure
install control linkages
attach control horns with CA and kicker
- assemble push rod and clevis
- adjust clevis so control surface is centered with servo at neutral point
- install push rods
