eBandit Addendum

Wing Mount Upgrade
for kits shipped prior to 9 December 2010

Discussion:  The power has increased and the weight of the eBandit has increased due to availability of the ThunderPower 65c 7700 mAh power batteries.

If you intend to fly your eBandit to the extremes of speed and "G" loading, we recommend this upgrade.

Note:  Kits shipped after 9 December 2010 have 1/8" thick Carbon Fiber formers included vs. the 3/32" original parts and do not require this upgrade.

Note:  Remove the wings from fuse.  Apply a few drops of thin C.A. to the wing mount brackets to hold them in place on the fore and aft wing mount formers.

 

□   Use a 1/4" wrench and 3/32" Hex driver to remove the 4-40 locknuts on the aft wing mount former.  Remove the 2 inboard 6-32 screws from the aluminum brackets on the fwd. former.
   

□   80 grit sand the mating surfaces of the original formers and the reinforcement parts.  Bevel the bottom edge as necessary to clear the glue fillet.

 

 

□   Trial fit the reinforcements to the back side of the two wing mount formers.

□   Apply Aeropoxy to the mating surfaces and secure in place with nuts (aft former) and the 6-32 X 1/2" SHCS into the front former.
□   Use clamps to hold the CF plates together for glue cure.

Note:  Reroute air tubing and servo leads as necessary.


Wing Trailing Edge Enhancement

This simple addition adds integrity to the wing trailing edge at the flap control rod exit point.

If the model is finished/flown:
 

□   Disconnect the clevis from the control horn.  Use a inverse tapered cone PermaGrit tool #RF7C to clear away the glue fillet as necessary to allow the CF Brace to seat against the balsa trailing edge.
□   Trail fit then use Zap-A-Gap to secure the CF plate to the T.E.

□   Use a PermaGrit file to relieve the top of the slot for the flaps up position.
□   The finish opening will look like this.
