screws in the folding propeller hub (DTXR0288).
❍ Non-permanent threadlocker for all metal-to-metal screws

ASSEMBLY
Assemble the Wings
First, let’s center the aileron servo arms before gluing the
servos into the wing…
❏ 1. Temporarily connect the aileron servos and ESC to your
receiver and turn on your transmitter. Making sure the trims
on your transmitter are centered, connect the battery to the
ESC. If necessary, remove and re-mount the servo arms so
they will be perpendicular as shown. Be certain to replace
the servo arm screws.
You may work on both wings simultaneously, or do one
wing at a time.
❏ 2. Without using any glue, temporarily fi t the servos into the
pockets in the wing. Hook up the ailerons with the hardware shown.
❏ 3. Connect a 18" – 24" [460mm – 610mm] servo extension
to the aileron servo wires and secure the connection with tape,
