Aileron Pushrods
99.
Mount the aileron servo to the hardwood rails in the manner recommended by the
radio manufacturer.
100. The aileron pushrods are made from two 2-56 x10" threaded rods. Screw a nylon
R/C link onto the threaded end of each rod. Next screw the self-threading nylon
aileron connectors that are provided 1/4 of the way down the aileron torque rods
that are sticking out of the wing. Snap the R/C links into the aileron connectors
and line up the pushrods with the servo arms. With the aileron servo neutralized
and the ailerons level, measure 1/2" past the servo arm and cut off the wire. Put a
"Z" bend in the end of the rods and install them in the outside end of the servo
arm.
OPTIONAL AILERON SERVO HOOK UP
The aileron horns are offset for differential movement as much as is practical
without striking the fuselage structure during movement. Some of this offset is
cancelled out when the adjustable nylon fittings are added. The best way to
increase the amount of differential in the ailerons is by offsetting the pickup
points on the servo for the push rods as shown in the accompanying
drawings. Any amount desired can be obtained in this manner. The farther up
the wheels the pushrods are attached, the greater the differential, ie., more
up. less down movement.
Radio Installation
101.
A typical 2 channel radio installation is shown in the photo. The battery pack and
the receiver are lightly packed in foam rubber and positioned just forward of the
elevator servo. The switch harness is servo taped to the fuselage side just
opposite the elevator servo. This allows the radio system to be easily turned on
and off by removing the quick release hatch.
Recommended Control Surface Movements
The following control surface movements are
recommended for initial flight tests and for
newcomers to the sport of R/C slope
soaring.
For the accomplished pilot and for all out
aerobatic performance the following
movements are suggested.
ELEVATOR 3/8" UP and 3/8" DOWN ELEVATOR 1/2" UP and 1/2" DOWN
AILERONS 1/2" UP and 7/16" DOWN AILERONS 9/16" UP and 1/2" DOWN
Optional Rudder
There may be some of you, especially veteran slope fliers, who will want to modify the Ninja from two channels (aileron
and elevator) to three channels (aileron, elevator, and rudder) for increased aerobatic performance. The hardware that is
provided in the kit is for the two channel version only.
To convert the Ninja to three channel operation you will need the following items, (1) SIGSH568 30" nylon pushrod
assembly, (1) SIGSH220 short nylon control horn, and (2) EASY HINGES.
