4. Opsætning og installation

Proper installation of the wing set is crucial for the safe and stable flight of your aircraft. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Udpakning og inspektion: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the wing sections for any signs of damage during shipping, such as cracks, dents, or tears in the covering. If any damage is found, contact E-flite support before proceeding.
2. Remove Old Wing (if applicable): If replacing an existing wing, carefully detach it from the fuselage. Note the orientation and connection points of any control linkages or wiring.
3. Vingefastgørelse: Align the new wing sections with the fuselage. Ensure the wing spar (if separate) is correctly inserted and the wing is seated firmly against the fuselage. Secure the wing using the designated fasteners (e.g., screws, clips) as per your aircraft's main instruction manual. Ensure the wing is securely attached and does not wobble.
4. Kontrolfladekobling: If your wing includes ailerons or other control surfaces, connect their linkages to the appropriate servos in the fuselage. Ensure the linkages move freely and are securely fastened. Verify that the control surfaces move in the correct direction relative to your transmitter inputs.
5. Anvendelse af mærkat: Apply any included decals to the wing surfaces as desired. For best results, clean the surface thoroughly before application and follow standard decal application techniques (e.g., using water for positioning, smoothing out bubbles).
6. Kontrol før flyvning: Before flying, perform a thorough pre-flight check. Verify the wing is securely attached, all control surfaces move freely and correctly, and the aircraft's center of gravity (CG) is within the recommended range as specified in your aircraft's main manual.

5. Driftsmæssige overvejelser

While the wing itself does not have operational controls, its proper function is integral to the aircraft's flight performance. Always ensure the following before each flight:

• Sikker vedhæftning: Confirm the wing is firmly attached to the fuselage with no looseness.
• Control Surface Function: Check that all control surfaces on the wing (e.g., ailerons) move freely and respond correctly to transmitter inputs.
• No Visible Damage: Inspect the wing for any new damage, such as cracks, tears, or warping, that may have occurred since the last flight.
• Tyngdepunkt (CG): Re-verify the aircraft's CG, especially after any repairs or component changes, to ensure stable flight characteristics.

6. Vedligeholdelse

Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan of your wing set and ensure continued safe operation:

• Rensning: Gently clean the wing surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or material.
• Inspektion: Periodically inspect the entire wing for signs of wear, fatigue, or damage. Pay close attention to attachment points, control surface hinges, and the leading/trailing edges.
• Opbevaring: Store the wing set in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent warping or material degradation. If detached from the aircraft, store it in a way that prevents bending or pressure on the surfaces.
• Koblingskontrol: Ensure all control linkages connected to the wing's control surfaces remain free of binding and are securely fastened.

7. Fejlfinding

This section addresses common issues related to the wing set:

• Wing Not Attaching Securely:
  Mulig årsag: Misalignment, obstruction, or incorrect fasteners.
  Løsning: Re-align the wing with the fuselage. Check for any debris or foreign objects preventing a flush fit. Ensure you are using the correct fasteners and tightening them appropriately as per the aircraft's main manual. Do not overtighten.
• Control Surfaces Not Moving Correctly:
  Mulig årsag: Linkage binding, loose connections, or damaged servo/control horn.
  Løsning: Inspect all linkages for free movement. Ensure clevises or connectors are securely attached to control horns and servo arms. Check for any damage to the control horn on the wing or the servo itself.
• Aircraft Flies Erratically After Wing Replacement:
  Mulig årsag: Incorrect CG, control surface trim issues, or wing not installed level.
  Løsning: Re-check the aircraft's Center of Gravity (CG) with the new wing installed. Ensure control surfaces are neutral when the transmitter sticks are centered. Verify the wing is installed level and not twisted.
• Visible Damage to Wing (e.g., cracks, tears):
  Mulig årsag: Impact during flight/landing, improper handling/storage.
  Løsning: Minor damage to the covering may be repaired with appropriate repair tape or heat shrink film. Structural damage (e.g., cracks in foam or wood) may require professional repair or replacement of the wing section for safety.
