Center line
1- Using a pencil, mark the center of the brace.
2- Trial fit the wing joiner into one of the wing panels. It should
insert smoothly up to the center line marked above.
3- Slide the other wing half onto the dihedral brace until
the wing panel meet. If the fit is over tight, it may be
necessary to lightly sand the dihedral brace.
4- Check for the correct dihedral angle.
5- Mix approximately 30 minute epoxy and apply a generous amount of epoxy into the wing joiner cavity of one wing half.
6- Coat one half of the dihedral brace with epoxy up to the center line. Install the epoxy-coated side of the dihedral brace
into the wing joiner cavity up to the center line, marking sure that the “V” of the dihedral brace is positioned correctly
7- Do the same way with the other wing half.
8- Carefully slide the wing halves together, ensuring that they are accurately aligned. Firmly press the two halves
together, allowing the excess epoxy to run out. Clear off the excess epoxy.
WARNING: Please do not clean off the excess epoxy on the wing with strong solvent or pure alcohol, only use kerosene to keep the colour of your model not fade.

With the retract and retract servo in the retracted position, mark the position where each of the pushrod will attach to the servo arm, a small piece of masking tape works well for this. Cut off the excess length each rod.
Link the servo and retract gear arm with push rod. Be sure to adjust the stroke so that the landing gear locks in both up and down position.

Apply a thin layer of machine oil or petroleum jelly to only the pivot point of the hinges on the elevator, then push the elevator and its hinges into the hinge slots in the trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer.
There should be a minimal hinge gap.
When satisfied with the and alignment, hinge the elevator to the horizontal stabilizer using 5 minute epoxy. Make sure to apply a thin layer of epoxy to the top and bottom of both hinges and to inside the hinge slots. Repeat the previous procedures to hinge the second elevator to the other side of the horizontal stabilizer.

Note: Cut out the stickers and apply them in the proper area. Do not peel the backing paper off all at once.
Peel off one corner of the backing and cut off with scissors.
Arrange sticker on model and when satisfied adhere the corner without backing.
Carefully peel back the rest of the backing while at the same time adhering the rest of the sticker.
Try not to make air bubbles, if there are some, carefully puncture sticker (center of bubble) but not model surface with the tip of the knife or sharp pin and squeeze out the air. At curves stretch sticker and apply a little heat so that no ceases occur. Cut off the excess that is produced.
28- Balance / Schwerpunkt
DO NOT try to fly an out-of-balance model !
The recommended C.G (Center of Gravity) location for the Macchi is
106 - 108mm (~4.2”). Adjust the location of the battery pack as required to achieve this C.G location.
