Mast:
The two halves of the mast (155) are glued together and sanded down according to plan. A fine groove can
be worked into the back, in which the cables for the lamps are later laid. Prime the wooden pole. Cut out the
base frame (156), the small lamp shelf (157) and the large lamp shelf (158), as well as the antenna holder
(159).
Bend the antenna wire (160) from Ø 1.5 mm brass wire. Place the parts (158), (159) and (160) on a plastic
foil and glue according to plan (superglue). Adjust and glue the base frame and the lamp shelves to the
mast. Drill the Ø 3.5 mm hole for the blue light base (161) at the top of the mast and insert the base.
The complete mast is now aligned on the cabin roof and installed with 2 screws Ø 2.2 x 6.5 mm (110)
according to the plan. Prepare bulb (162). If necessary, extend the connecting wires in the visible area with
appropriately cut twin wires (163) (cross-section 2 x 0.07 mm²). Insulate the bare wires and solder joints with
paint or heat-shrink tubing. Insert the bulbs (162) for blue light (164) and position lamps (165) on the mast
and secure with UHU hard adhesive. The blue light is later connected to the turn signal or speed camera
electronic module (166) in the cabin. Here it is recommended to solder a BEC socket with cable to the wires
Ø 0.07 mm², which can then be plugged directly into the module (166).
Only the lamps that are to light together should switch in parallel and later wire them in the cabin with the
other lamps.
If the cables are neatly laid and glued to the rear edge of the mast, the light bulbs are covered with adhesive
tape; the mast is painted. Solder the FM antenna made of brass wire Ø 1 x 50 mm and the tubular rivet (167)
together. Stick the lamps and the VHF antenna to the completed mast.
Typhone, headlight, loudspeaker
For the typhon (168), the base (169) is formed from a plywood block so that the bell stands horizontally. Glue
the pedestal to the cabin roof, glue on the typhon later
Headlights and loudspeakers are mounted in one unit and can be swivelled horizontally. Insert a 6 V
precision lamp (162) into the headlamp. The loudspeaker holder (171) is drilled through Ø 2.5 mm, the
headlight housing Ø 1.8 mm. The parts are screwed together with the sheet-metal screw (172) (Ø 2.2 x 6.5
mm).
Insert the speaker (173) into the eyelet of the holder and glue it together. Insert into the headlight holder
(174) swivel axis (175) and glue together. Guide the lamp connection downwards through the axle. At the
appropriate point, drill through the cabin roof and ceiling vertically Ø 3 mm and insert the unit with spacer
(82). The loudspeaker/headlight unit is pivoted using an eccentric. Fit the eccentric lever (176) with 7/3
adjusting ring (177) and grub screw (M 3 x 6) (117). Cut the lever according to plan and fasten an M 2 x 10
bearing screw (128) with nut (112) in the central bore. Place the lever on the swivel axis and tighten slightly.
The 1000:1 crimped, interference suppressed micro geared motor (178) with approx. 300 mm cable is
screwed onto the ABS motor plate (179) with M 1.6 screws. Screw the plate onto the 5 x 15 x 20 mm bearing
