TOW HOOK INSTALLATION

 An optional Aerotow Release can be installed in this
model. It will require the use of a high-torque servo.
145. Mount the servo in the fuselage with the servo output facing
the bottom of the fuselage. Center the servo using the radio
system and place the servo arm on the servo. Using side
cutters, remove any arms on the servo arm that will not be
used. Attach the clevis to the servo arm.
146. Mount the aerotow release in the top of the fuselage. Make
sure the slot in the release is parallel to the trailing edge of
the wing. Use a drop of thread lock on the nut to prevent it
from vibrating loose.
147. Thread a clevis on a 300mm pushrod. Remove any arms on
the servo arm that will not be used using side cutters. Attach
the clevis to the servo arm.
148. Slide the pushrod through the aerotow release. Connect the
clevis to the servo arm. Use the radio to move the servo to
the closed position.
149. Mark the pushrod at the edge of the release using a felt-
tipped pen.

150. Remove the servo arm and pushrod from the fuselage. Cut
the pushrod at the mark.
151. Use a fl at fi le to make a slight point on the end of the pushrod
so it will self-guide through the release.
152. Reinstall the pushrod. Check the operation of the release.
Adjust the radio system if the servo binds at full release.
When in the release position, the end of the pushrod must be
completely clear of the slot in the body of the release.

WINDOW INSTALLATION

153. Use hobby scissors and a hobby knife with a new blade to
trim the excess from the side and top windows so they will fi t
in place.
