3 Vacuum formed PVC window panels and wind screen. Door hinges, screws and magnets.

4 Landing skid brackets, bolts and nuts and washers. Wire cutters. Wood formers for mounting the mechanic. For Trex 700 and 600 mechanics. Starting Assembly Landing Skid Assembly

5 Locate the landing gear and parts in the photo. As the landing skid comes pre welded, just slip the rear cross member into the fuselage recess and the landing skid will be correctly located. Centre the landing skid assembly and use the tabs to secure the rear of the landing skid. Drill 2 mm holes using the tab holes as template. Use the supplied scrap wood to glue inside the fuselage for the landing skid screws. Now proceed to do the front landing skid using the metal plate mounts. Again drill mounting holes using the bracket holes as

6 templates. Again, use the wood scraps and glue them inside the fuselage for the front skid screws. IMPORTANT! When marking the location of the front landing skid mounting holes, remember to put them to the side of the mechanic mounting holes! Scrap wood for landing skid mounting screws.

7 Mechanic Installation Assembly Locate the 6 wood locking formers(f9) and glue 3 together to make a Formers F9 Slide the 2 F9 assemblies into the base board as in the photo. Please note the orientation of F9 when dry fitting into the base board. Once you have the right fitting use ample epoxy and glue the former assembly F9 to the baseboard. Slot for formers F9

8 Note that the vertical slot is on the bottom of the baseboard. Slide the completed mechanic baseboard with the F9 formers onto the preinstalled base board inside the fuselage. The completed base board. Locate the wood formers for the Trex 600 mechanic's platform as in the following photo.

9 Proceed to assemble the parts into a box for the Trex 600 mechanic to sit on. Step 1 Step 2

10 Step 3 The completed platform. Photo showing the Quick Lock Slots.

11 The fit of the Trex 600 mechanic platform. Disassemble the tail gear box on your mechanic and set it aside for now. Keep the tail boom on the mechanic. Slide and lock the platform into the base board and lock into place. Install the mechanic into the fuselage onto the platform and centre the main shaft. Temporary fix the mechanic for now.the final mounting holes of the fuselage will be determined once the tail gearbox is correctly located. Slide in nthe mechanics and fix temporarily.

12 Top view of mechanic inside the fuselage. Now proceed to glue the wood screw tabs into the tail boom on the main fuselage side as in the photo. The wood tabs are supplied in the kit or you can use scrap plywood as well. We recommend a minimum of 6 screws to fix the tail boom in place. Use ample epoxy to glue the wood tabs. Slide the mechanic with the Quick Lock Platform into the mechanic. Do not slide the Quick Lock platform into the corresponding slot into the factory installed base plate yet. Rest the mechanic onto the base plate and push the mechanic as far back as it will go. You might need to spread the top of the fuselage to do this. Please spread the top of the fuselage carefully when you do this.

13 Now slip on the tail fuselage boom and temporarily secure it to the main fuselage with tape.the tail boom should protrude beyond the tail fuselage boom. See photo. Now install the tail gear box onto the tail boom of the mechanic and hook up the tail pitch control rod to the pitch slider. You shoud now use a Dremel and make a hole on the side of the tail fuselage boom for the tail rotor. Depending on which side you choose to install the tail rotor, you will need to make the hole on the the side that you choose. Using the vertical tail fin prdrilled holes as template offer the vertical tail fin up to opposite side of the tail rotor and drill 2 holes for mounting the vertical tail fin. Remove material from the tail of the tail fuselage boom for the tail rotor using a dremel. Photo shows the tail rotor mounting on the left side.

14 Mounitng of the vertical fin. Photo shows the fit of the Trex 600 tail gearbox fitted onto the 700 tail boom. With the tail gearbox correctly located and the main shaft at the correct location, mark the 4 mechanic mounting holes onto the Quick Lock Platform. Redisassemble the tail gear box and take out the mechanic. Drill the holes for the mechanic mounts and mount the mechanic onto the platform. Reinstall the mechanic into the fuselage and reinstall the tail gearbox. After the tail gear box and tail fuselage boom is sorted out, now wrap a thin sheet of foam around the tail boom and secure with tape. Then slide the mechanic forward and slide the mechanic with the Quick Lock Platform into the slots on the preinstalled baseboard.after the mechanic is sitting correctly on the base board in the Quick Lock Slots you can now drill holes for securing the tail fuselage boom to the main fuselage.

15 Tail fuselage fixing screws. Wrap a thin piece of foam around the tail boom before pushing the tail boom forward.

16 Top Hatch Cover Assembly You can choose your best method of fixing the two top hatches. We use 2 fixing pins at the rear of the rear hatch into the fuselage and screws to secure the front top hatch to both the main fuselage and the rear hatch. The red circles are screws and the yellow circles are where the fixing pins are located. The red circles shows the fixing screws for the front top hatch at the front. After fitting the top front hatch, you might need to open up the swashplate hole in order to allow the swashplate to operate in all directions. Please do this carefully using a Dremel or file.

17 Window Panel Assembly Now glue the window panels from the inside out. Please do dry fitting of all glazing first before gluing. Each window panel is unique and will fit only the correct opening. Door Hinge and Door Assembly Locate the supplied door hinges. There should be 4 sets. Assemble the door hinge parts into 4 sets. Door hinge parts. One assembled door hinge.

18 Tape the door panel onto the door opening temporarily. Please centre the door panel and make sure that the gap is even all around. Tape the door onto the fuselage opening. Make sure that it is centered in the door opening. Locate and tape the door hinges onto the door panel and fuselage at locations that you desire.once satisfied with the location drill 1 mm holes on both sides of the hinge at the door panel and the wind screen pillar and secure with the supplied screws. There are 2 hinges per door. After screwing in the screws use a drop of glue to secure the screw on the inside. Locate the hinges onto the door panel and wind screen pillar.

19 Use the hing hole as template and drill 1 mm holes in the door panel and wind screen pillar.
