d. Inside each wing panel is a preinstalled string to pull the servo extension wires to the center of the wing;

carefully pull each servo extension through each wing panel for connection to your Y-cable.

e. After installing the servos and connecting the servo extensions,

connect the aileron pushrods between each aileron’s control horn

and servo.

7. Optional Upgrades –

a. If you are using the optional detailed dashboard and throttle

control, position these items inside the cockpit and secure them

at this time with thin CA adhesive.

b. You may also add one or two Maxford USA 1/5-scale pilot

figures inside the top- and bottom-hinged opening side door.

c. If you have access to a suitable body of water, you may replace

the fixed landing gear with a set

of 40-sized Maxford USA floats.

(HINT: You may preview the

detailed float installation

instructions provided with these

floats on our Website at

www.maxfordusa.com.)

(NOTE: All of the optional upgrade items for the L-4 Grasshopper may also be purchased for use with

our ARF model of the Piper J-3 Cub.)

8. Mount the Wing –

a. Identify and stage the V-shaped left & right wing struts and related materials shown below to assemble

and attach the wing to the fuselage.

b. Insert the front joiner (#6)

and rear joiner (#7) into the

root ribs of the wing panels

and slide the left and right

panels firmly together to

form a complete wing.

c. Align and insert the plywood

projections at the middle of

the wing’s leading edge with

the opening behind the

‘windshield’ in the fuselage,

then gently lower the wing

onto the fuselage’s wing

saddle.

d. Place the hold-down plate (#3) over the trailing edge and insert the two hold-down bolts (#4) through the

holes in the plate, through the wing, and into the blind nuts preinstalled in the fuselage.

e. Snug (but do not over-tighten) both hold-down bolts to secure the wing to the fuselage.

f. Place the Grasshopper upside down on a soft surface and test-fit the wing bracing struts (#5) to the wing

and fuselage.

g. Using the predrilled holes in the bottom of the wing and the provided screws, position and attach the

wing bracing struts (#5).

h. Connect the V-shaped end of each wing bracing strut to the bottom side of the fuselage where the

landing gear’s rear hold-down plates are attached (as shown as item #4 in the diagram on page 6).
