Four star 60 manual

Next Page. A model airplane that is not built properly will not fly properly! SIG, as the kit manufacturer, can provide you with a proven aerodynamic design, quality materials, and detailed instructions, but ultimately the flyability of your finished model depends on how well YOU put it all together.

However, wood is a highly variable material unlike man-made plastic or metal , so every single wood part in a kit will probably not have flawless appearance.

Often things that look like an imperfection are actually quite acceptable when you consider the function the part will serve. Because of the wide variety of brands available and the influence of personal preferences, the choice of these items is left to the builder. All of these items are available from your local hobby shop. Page 5 However, if you want to get your 4-STAR 60 into the air as quickly as possible, we recommend that you use CA glue for the majority of the assembly of this kit.

The plans also show how we would install a typical radio and engine in the 4-STAR By referring to the examples shown on the plan, you should be able to properly install your radio and engine, even if they are not exactly the same as what is shown on the plan. Don't rush it! It may take 20 to 30 seconds of soaking to get your fingers back apart. Page 9 Cut the top center piece that fits between the trailing edge sheet and the rear spar.

Trim and sand the sheet to fit and glue it in place. SIG-BOND is recommended for gluing all of the center sheets to the ribs and spars as it is easier to sand the joints smooth. Apply glue generously to the end ribs and the dihedral brace.

Work some glue into the slot in each wing root. Page Aileron Servo Installation Cut the tape to length - one piece from trailing edge, around the leading edge and back to the trailing edge. Page 12 a. Using the plan as a guide make an aileron pushrod from a x8" threaded rod, a solder clevis, and a threaded clevis.

The actual length of the pushrod may vary slightly based on the shape and position of the aileron servo. Page Fuselage Construction Remove the gear and seat the blind nuts with a hammer. Page 14 Fuselage Construction a. Tape the fuselage plans to the work bench and cover with waxed paper. The fuselage sides are assembled from two laser cut pieces. Align the fuselage front and rear pieces directly over the plan, check the fit of the parts, adjust if necessary and apply MEDIUM CA to the splice joint.

Join another set of pieces for the other fuselage side. Locate the two. Roughen the last 4" on both ends of each outer tube with sandpaper to aid glue adhesion. Slide the outer push rod tubes forward through the pushrod exit slots in the fuselage sides and the holes in the formers.
