Great Planes Super Skybolt 60 Kit - GPMA0170 - Manual (Page 20)

D 5 Cut a scrap piece of balsa to fit about 2" in
front of the pushrod "Y" junction and glue it in
place This will be a pushrod brace and both the
elevator and rudder pushrod outer tubes will be
glued to it Glue the elevator pushrod guide tube to
the top of the brace so the end of the guide tube is
approximately 1-1/2" away from the solder joint
Operate the servo horn by hand to make sure all
the inner spacers stay inside the guide tube
throughout the elevator operation range Make
another balsa brace to go near the servo end of
the guide tubes and glue it in place.
ASSEMBLE THE CABANES
D 1 Punch out the die-cut 1/8" ply cabane wire
holders (SKY6F13) and glue an "L" side to one of
the center pieces Glue an "R" side to the other
center piece Notice that the "L" (left) sides are 1/8"
longer than the right side. This is to allow for the
engine right thrust.
D 2.Use a hobby knife to chamfer the front end of
each 5/32" OD x 3/4" brass tube (BRST021) If
you have a hand drill with a relatively slow speed,
you can chuck the tube in the drill to do this Vary
the angle of the knife blade during this process to
obtain a nice rounded chamfer.
D 6 The rudder pushrod guide tube should be
installed now Cut it to fit from the lower right
pushrod exit to the front pushrod brace Scuff the
outer surface of the tube with sandpaper Allow the
tube to extend past the pushrod exit a few inches
and securely glue it in place After the glue has
cured, cut the tube off flush with the fuselage side.
Use HobbyLite filler to fill around the rudder pushrod
cut-out You can also fill the other rudder cut-out on
the left fuselage side When the filler is dry, sand it
and the pushrod flush with the fuse side.
D 7 If you would like to install an extra pushrod
tube in which to route the receiver antenna, now is
a good time to do it Just drill holes where
necessary and securely glue it in place.
D 3 Locate the 1/8" front and rear left side
cabane wires (WBNT177 and WBNT179) These
are going to slide into the 5/32" OD brass tubes so
their ends need to be smoothly chamfered Use
some very fine (600 grit) sandpaper to smooth out
