Aeroworks is always trying to improve both the qual-

ity and price of our product. We have selected to

use a premium covering imported from Taiwan that

we have been testing. We have found the covering

to be very durable, lighter weight and does not

wrinkle as much as the Ultracote™ covering we

are using on our other QB and QB-L models.

In case of repairs, the Ultracote™ colors listed below

we found to match extremely close to the covering

used on the 60cc Freestyle:

Red/White/Blue Scheme

True Red #866

Midnight Blue #885

White #870

Aeroworks 60cc Freestyle Extra 260 Assembly Manual 7

1. Open your kit slowly and take care not to damage

any parts of the kit. Remove all parts from their

plastic protective covers for inspection. Before

doing any assembly or installation of any decals

it is very important to re-shrink or re-tighten the

already applied covering. Due to the shipping

process, heat and humidity changes from differ-

ent climates, the covering may become lose and

wrinkle in the sun. If you take the time to re-

tighten the covering, you will be rewarded with a

long lasting beautifully covered model.

TIGHTENING AND

RESHRINKING THE

COVERING

2. Using your covering iron with a soft sock, gently

apply pressure and rub in the covering. If any

bubbles occur, your iron may be to hot. Reduce

heat and work slowly.

3. If bubbles persist, use a small pin to punch holes

in the bubble to relieve trapped air and reheat.

4. Use your heat gun with extreme caution. Take

care not to apply too much heat to one area for

long periods of time. This may cause the trim

colors to over shrink and pull away leaving un-

sightly gaps on the color lines. The trim stripes

are especially vulnerable to over shrinking.

5. Go over all seams and color overlaps with your

sealing iron.

8 Aeroworks 60cc Freestyle Extra 260 Assembly Manual

1. Go over all seams and glue joints with thin CA,

this will ensure your model lasts for many sea-

sons to come.

Note: Even if you can visibly see glue on all glue

joints it is still recommended that the joints be

re-glued. Due to changes in humidity during

the life of the aircraft glue joints can separate,

it is always recommended that the glue joints

be checked before each flying session.

2. Use thin CA on the canopy mounting tabs and

front dowels as shown. DO NOT install canopy

on the fuse until glue has fully cured. Failure to

do so may cause canopy to be permanently glued

to the fuse.

HINGING AILERONS

CHECKING GLUE JOINTS

1. Gather the items shown below for the installa-

tion of the Aileron.

Required Parts - Included

 1 - Wing Panel

 1- Aileron

 7 - Pin Point Hinges

Required Tools and Adhesives

 30 Minute Epoxy

 Epoxy Mixing Cups/Sticks

 Petroleum Jelly

 Isopropyl Alcohol

 Paper Towels

Builders Tip:

Wet paper towels with isopropyl alcohol before

starting aileron installation. This will make cleaning

any excess epoxy easier once the aileron is in-

stalled.

AILERON SERVO & HORN

INSTALLATION

2. Prep all hinges for installation by applying

petroleum jelly or light oil to the hinge joint.

This ensures no epoxy gets into the hinge during

assembly.

3. Mix epoxy in mixing cup and use a tapered stick

to apply the epoxy inside the pre-drilled holes in

the trailing edge of the wing. Apply epoxy to

one side of each hinge and insert the hinge com-

pletely into the hole. Ensure the hinge axis is

vertical and parallel to the trailing edge of the

wing before epoxy cures. Wipe away excess

epoxy with alcohol wetted wipes.

4. Mix epoxy in mixing cup and use a tapered stick

to apply the epoxy inside the pre-drilled holes in

the leading edge of the aileron. Apply epoxy to

trailing edge of each hinge.

5. Carefully slide the aileron onto each hinge and

against the trailing edge of the wing. Wipe away

excess epoxy with alcohol wetted wipes.

6. Slide aileron onto wing and ensure there is no

gap between wing and aileron. Allow epoxy to

fully cure. Check that you have full aileron de-

flection before epoxy fully cures.

2. Locate the supplied control horns. There are

4pcs with longer base leg for the Ailerons, 4pcs

with shorter base leg for the Elevators and 2pcs

for the Rudder.

3. Locate the supplied 6pcs black base for the con-

trol horns. There are 4pcs with smaller sized

slots for the Aileron and Elevator and 2pcs with

larger slots for the Rudder

4. IMPORTANT - The control horns with the longer

base leg are for the Ailerons.

5. Use 80 Grit Sandpaper to scuff the control horn

where it will be glued to the aileron as shown

below.

6. Use 80 Grit Sandpaper to scuff the base plate

where it will be glued to the aileron as shown

below.

7. Optional step - If you would like to paint your

control horns we recommend you prep and paint

them at this time. Use tape to prevent painting

the base leg of the control horn.

8. Paint the top portion of the control horn and al-

low time to fully dry before installing.

goes between servo arm and ball link and is not

installed between the right and left control horns.

10. Final picture of pushrod and control horn as-

sembly shown below.

11. Place aileron control horns into the pre-cut slot

with the base plate installed. Use a ball point pen

to mark the location of the base plate as shown

ing. Take care not to cut to deep and damage the

wood underneath the covering.

13. Final picture of removed covering shown below.

14. Apply 5 minute epoxy into the control horn

mounting slots and the base plate mounting loca-

tion as shown.

17. Layout the servo as shown below. Install the 6”

extension at this time and double check exten-

sion length.

18. Secure using an Aeroworks Safety Clip.

16. With aileron centered in neutral position, ensure

the mounting hole of the control horn is centered

on the hinge line as shown. Double check this

alignment while the epoxy cures, it is very im-

portant that the control horn is correctly aligned

with the hinge line.

19. Fasten the pull string from the servo hole to the

male plug of the servo extension.

21. Install servo in servo well with the output arm

toward the leading edge of the wing. Drill holes

for servo mounting screws.

20. Pull aileron servo extension through pre installed

rubber grommet in root end of wing.

15. Place aileron control horn into the pre-cut slot.

come out at this time. Ensure that the base plate

is flat and making full contact with the aileron at

this time.

23. Tape the aileron in place as shown. This will

help keep the aileron centered while making the

initial linkage adjustments.

26. Final aileron servo installation shown below,

repeat all previous steps for the remaining wing

assembly.

Note: On metal geared servos use Loctite for all

servo arm mounting screws.

Builders Tip:

If using Hitec Servos, replace phillips head servo

arm screw with a socket head screw. This will allow

for easier removal at a later date. These screws can

be purchased from Micro Fasteners part number:

SCM2508

22. Install servo with servo mounting screws.

25. A pushrod adjustment wrench has been in-

cluded, this will allow the pushrod length to be

extended or shortened without removing the

servo arm. Adjust the pushrod length so the con-

trol surface is neutral when the servo arm is 90

degrees to the servo case.

24. Install ball link to servo arm, correct installation

of ball link to servo arm shown below.

Note: Flat washer will prevent ball link from

coming loose from brass ball.
