Elevon change
The following section describes how to change the elevons on the DeltaQuad Evo.
Tools needed - Torx 10 (T10)
Maintenance supplies needed - Threadlocker (medium strength)
Preparation
Find a flat surface, such as a table, large enough to accommodate one of the DeltaQuad Evo's wings.
Take a wing of the DeltaQuad Evo out of the flight case.
Changing the elevon.
Position the wing on a table with the wingtip pointing upward to easily access the two screw holes.
Use a Torx tool size 10 (T10) to remove the two screws from the wingtip.
When removing the second screw, the wingtip should begin to loosen from its position where it was secured. Hold and remove the wingtip with the other hand.
With the wingtip removed, the elevon should hang loosely. Hold the leading edge of the wing with one hand. Align the loose elevon with the trailing edge of the wing and move the elevon outward to where the wingtip was installed.
After moving the elevon slightly outward from the wing, pull it toward you. The elevon should come loose.
To install the new elevon, follow the steps described above in reverse order. The elevon hinges have 4 hooks that need to be inserted into the corresponding holes in the wing.
Align the 4 elevon hinges with the 4 holes in the wing.
Lock the elevon hinges by moving the elevon toward the wing base.
Before attaching the new wingtip make sure to use threadlocker on each tip of a screw.
Take the new wingtip and attach it to the wing by aligning the connectors and servo arm with the mounting hole on the side of the elevon.
Tighten both screws. Avoid using excessive force to prevent overtightening and potential damage.
Ensure the wing is properly attached and secured. Test the elevon by carefully moving it upwards. The motor of the wingtip servo should produce a sound and offer slight resistance to the movement.
The wingtip is now installed. Ensure that it is securely aligned and properly set in place. Double-check that all screws are snug but not overtightened to avoid any damage.
