Cockpit Detail Installation - Horizon Hobby ARF Hangar 9 Manuel D'utilisation

COCKPIT DETAIL INSTALLATION

1. Remove the two thumb screws that secure the canopy hatch to the
fuselage.
 The nylon bolt can be shortened to make securing the canopy hatch
easier. A metal fastener can also be substituted (not included).
2. Lift the canopy hatch from the fuselage at the rear. Slide the hatch
back and remove it from the fuselage. Set it aside in a safe location.
3. Use a hobby knife and #11 blade as well as hobby scissors to trim
the ammunition. Leave the ammunition wide so it can be trimmed
down to fi t the rails. Trim both sets of ammunition.
4. Fit the ammunition to the gun rails. The ammunition will align with
the top edge of the rails and fall straight into the rails as shown.
5. Slide a large M3 washer on an M3 x 25 socket head screw. Slide the
screw from the bottom of the forward cockpit fl oor.

6. Slide the standoff with the hole only through the center over the
screw, then place a mounting bracket on the screw. Secure the
hardware with an M3 locknut. Tighten the hardware using a 2.5mm
hex wrench and 5.5mm nut driver. Leave the hardware slightly loose
so it can be positioned when the rear mounts are installed.
7. Repeat the previous steps to install the second gun mount.
8. Fit the rear support bar in the cockpit. The ends are angled to match
the shape of the fuselage sides. If it does not fi t without binding,
lightly fi le the ends so it fi ts without binding against the inside edges
of the fuselage hatch.
9. Locate the two standoffs with the perpendicular holes. Attach the
mounting brackets to the standoffs using two M3 x 10 button head
screws and two M3 washers. Leave the screws slightly loose so the
mounts can be positioned later in this section of the manual.
10. Slide an M3 lock washer on an M3 x 25 socket head cap screw.
Slide the screw through the standoff, then through the hole support
bar. Thread the screw into the blind nut that has been installed in the
cockpit. Make sure not to cross thread the screw and damage the
blind nut. Leave the screws loose at this time.
 Refer to checking the blind nuts on Page 6
before installing the screws.
