Hey, i had ordered one bixler and received it today. Now, i really need your help to build it fast.
Pls guide and help me throughout my build.
I first started with the wings, i am installing the horns, pls check the attachment if its correct.
I dont know if i am doing the right way, pls check and tell.

K K Iyer

Wrong!
Turn the horn around.

kausha

Done, and is it it fine that the end of screws are coming out from the front side of the wing ?

K K Iyer

No problem if screws poke out a bit on the top surface.
Hope the screws are threaded into a small mounting plate on the top surface, and not into the foam alone.

kausha

Yes, i have mounted it with a flat plate.

kausha

Now, the rod is not passing through the horns, pls help.

K K Iyer

Use a compass or dividers point to enlarge the hole SLIGHTLY. Not too loose.

Does the pushrod have a Z bend at the other end?
If so, it will fit the servo arm.
The adjustable end should normally be at the the horn, and not on the servo arm.

kausha

Yes, it does have a z end. Done pls check.
Born to FLY.

K K Iyer

Right.
Now connect and switch on the radio and center the servo through the RC.
This is to check if the servo arm is mounted on the servo shaft perpendicular to the case.
If not you have to remove the servo and remove/refit the arm. Don't over-tighten the screw or it will strip the thread in the shaft.
Hope you haven't stuck the servo in already.

K K Iyer

Five others are also watching this thread!

kausha

The servo is already attached to the wings, tightly glued.

K K Iyer

Anyway, center the servo by the RC and check. Then adjust the length by screwing the clevis in or out.

kausha

Yes, it was pretty easy, pls check.

I am thinking to solder the circuit, pls let me know which wire and connector goes with what.
Pls check attachment.

And also, why are the holes made in the 3.5mm connectors ?

K K Iyer

Best way to do this.
Make three holes in a piece of wood with a 4mm bit, about 1cm deep.
Push the connectors in.
Heat the connector from the outside, and let solder melt inside. To get it started, you may have to keep the iron outside the hole, and let the solder touch it from inside. (Can't think of any other use for the hole!)
If not able to make the above wooden jig, put rubber bands around the handles of pliers. The connector can now be held in the plier's jaws without needing a hand. You will be needing one hand for the solder and one for the iron.
Don't forget the heat shrink tubing.
Can be connected in any order. If motor runs in reverse, interchange any two wires.

see this hope it helps cause soldering requires practice i myself burned my hands because i didn't had second person so be carefull

Having this tool really eases soldering a lot:

And you can't self learn soldering without burning yourself somewhere or the other :banghead:

Unless you have the tool I mentioned ;D ;)
Build planes like feathers rather than tanks, both handle bullets equally well.

I also like that tool but my cheapness doesn't allow me to buy plier do well for me :P if you know what i mean :D ....

@ Chintal
just a small suggestion,
just put a small drop of hotglue on the small screws coming out from Ailerons,it will smooth the flow and mainly safe to hands on accidental part.
good going.
