I fixed ESC, UBEC, receiver in their place, so that I have room for the battery and can move it to fine tune the CG.
I prepared the second batch of batteries. I have changed connector XT60 with T-Deans. |

I copied the first model in the station and renamed it. I connected the receiver to the station. I turned everything off and restarted the station, then the receiver. Now all servos should be zero. I attached the servo levers to the appropriate position. Then I checked to see if everything was working properly. Less the engine. We'll check on him later. This stage ends here.

Little optimization of wiring of second Introduction F5J. Some change on first one. They are twins. All must be same and interchangeable.
Next steps: Bend all end rods to 90 degree, and cut coresponding. Check and set CG for both gliders. |

F79
I had a dilemma. I searched for F79 in electronic documents. Today I looked in the printed manual I received with the kit and finally found it. In general, I used the downloaded electronic manual. My concern was that this F79 screw should have been fitted before covering. But no, it's step 67, near the final
.Warning: There are some differences between the printed manual and the electronic versions available. I did a test with Micro E / Z link from DU-BRO 0.032 "(0.81 mm), which I only received. It was worth the wait. I will use them. And I prepared the fuselage covers for ALTIS Nano and GliderKeeper. The difference in size between the two required an adaptation. It's solved now. Small steps! Now I'm ready to start completing the two gliders next week ... |

ON station, ON receiver, center for rudder and elevator. 07. 90 degree bending rods for rudder and elevator. 08. Mount the wing. 09. Fixing flaps next to the wing segments. 10. Setting the forks in the center. 11. ON station, ON receiver, normal for flaps. 12. Fixing control rods with flag in the servo wing levers. 13. Bending 90 degree flap rods. E/Z link don't fit. Now only a CG check, before go to flight field
