Ball Tow Coupling System Dipperer
Installation instructions:
1. Drill a 12 mm hole in the nose of the fuselage.
2. Fit the tow coupling, ensuring the front edge is flush with the nose of the fuselage. Note: Do not modify the front part of the coupling (release opening)!
3. Stuff the coupling opening with paper to prevent glue from entering during the bonding process.
4. Carefully bond the coupling housing with epoxy resin in the entire area of the knurling grooves.
5. Install the rudder servo with a torque of 6-10 kg at the height of the tow coupling.
6. For actuation, attach a ball joint connection to the innermost hole of the servo arm on the rudder servo.
7. Set the servo arm to the rear dead point (on the side away from the tow coupling, see sketch).
8. Secure the connection to the rudder servo using 1.5 mm steel wire or cable. Cut the connecting cable or rod so that the ball joint connection is 3 mm in front of the center of the ball joint.
9. Hook-in position: The coupling is open and the tow line ball connection can be inserted.
10. Release position: By moving the servo (half a turn of the servo arm), the ball locks in the coupling, and the servo is relieved.
