Fantasy Air ALLEGRO 2007 SW Flight Manual - Aircraft Assembly
Aircraft Assembly
There must be at least two people to assemble the aircraft, preferably three. Follow the instructions below:
1)
Fit the horizontal tail unit onto the tail fin, connect them using a bolt having
a diameter of 6 mm and
secure by a slotted nut with a cotter pin. When you are fitting the tail plane onto the tail fin, it is necessary
to connect the operating rod of the tail plane balancing surface using a pin having
a diameter of 6 mm
.You must not forget to secure the pin by a cotter pin, the arms of which must be bent carefully so that it
could not get caught against the tail plane. Finally, attach the vertical bolt having the diameter of 6 mm.
Do not forget to insert as many washers as necessary, because these washers determine the actual setting
of the tail plane stabilizer. Using a torque wrench tighten the bolt of 6 mm and the vertical bolt to the
torque of 10 Nm.
2)
Prepare all the bolts for fixing the struts. The procedure is described below only for one half of the wing.
Follow the same instructions when attaching the other half as well.
First fit the strut onto its mount on the fuselage and insert the bolt. Lean the strut on the ground (put
something soft under the strut to protect it from scratching). Two people then have to
hold the wing and
put it to the mounts. Don’t handle the wing by touching its wingtips. It must fit in place easily. If it does
not, the position of the wing in respect to the centre-section is not correct. Do not force
as the mounts could
become damaged. When the wing is in place, insert the
front bolt. Then fit the strut onto
the mount on the wing and secure by
a bolt too. Next fit the back bolt through the back wing
centre-section mount. All the time during the assembly somebody must
be holding the wing at its end to
keep it in the correct position. Using a torque wrench tighten the
slotted nuts to the torque of 20-22 Nm.
This value must be observed or otherwise the bolts, which are of vital importance, could be damaged.
Ensure all the nuts are secured by with cotter pins.
Attach the
pins for operating the flaps and also secure it by a cotter pin. Connect the ailerons control pins in both
the LH and RH clevis in the cockpit and secure with a cotter pin.
Using tailor’s pins instead of appropriate split pins is dangerous and therefore strictly forbidden!
3)
Attach the cover of the joint between the wing and the centre-section. Do not forget to connect
both hoses
of the Pitot tube!
MANDATORY -
Aircraft must be signed off by a qualified inspector before flight
Aircraft Disassembly
Follow the instructions described above (Aircraft Assembly) in reverse order.
For the assembly and disassembly of the aircraft we recommend using special mounting wrenches, which can be
ordered as optional accessories. They make the whole process of assembly and disassembly much faster and
easier.
