Removing Cockpit Hatch and Instrument Panel

1. Open your kit slowly and take care not to dam-

age any parts of the kit. Remove all parts from their plastic protective covers for inspection. Before doing any assembly it is recommended that the cockpit hatch, canopy, and instrument panel be removed. This will aid in assembling the model. These items will be reinstalled when the rest of the model is finished. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the cockpit hatch as shown below.

3. Use a Phillips screw driver to remove the mounting screws holding the instrument panel in place.

2. Using a Phillips screw driver remove the canopy from the fuselage as shown below.

4. Lift the instrument panel out of the fuse through the canopy opening as shown. Be careful not to damage the instrument panel or the canopy bracing bar. Also take care not to scratch the felt inside the fuse.

Page 11

TIGHTENING AND RE-SHRINKING THE COVERING

1. Before doing any assembly or installation of any decals it is very important to re-shrink or retighten the already applied covering. Due to the shipping process, heat and humidity changes from different climates, the covering may become lose and wrinkle in the sun. If you take the time to re-tighten the covering, you will be rewarded with a long lasting beautifully covered model.

3. DO NOT use a heat gun on the corrugated con-

trol surfaces. Heat applied directly to these surfaces will cause the material to deform and bubble.

2. Using your covering iron with a soft sock, gently apply pressure and rub in the covering. If any bubbles occur, your iron may be to hot. Reduce heat and work slowly.

4. If bubbles persist, use a small pin to punch holes in the bubble to relieve trapped air and reheat.

Page 12

CHECKING SEAMS AND COLOR OVERLAPS FOR GOOD SEAL

1. Go over all seams and color overlaps with your sealing iron.

Note: Even if your models covering has no wrin-

kles out of the box it is still very important to go over all seams and overlaps to make certain they are sealed securely. This is especially important at the leading edges of the wings and stabs. We recommend checking the covering after each flying session.

3. Use a small trim iron to iron out the wrin-

kles in the hinge lines. It is important to keep the covering sealed down in this area.

Note: Take care not to apply to much heat

around any plastic or corrugated parts.

2. Use your covering iron to ensure all edges, seams, and color overlaps are securely sealed.

IMPORTANT:

It is the responsibility of the purchaser / operator to check the covering seams and overlaps for security and a good seal.

Aeroworks is not responsible for failure of

covering seams or overlaps during flight.

Note: If covering continues to lift apply a small

amount of thin CA underneath the covering. Then using a clean rag apply pressure to secure.

One of the most important tools in your flight box is a roll of clear tape. This can be used at the field for fast and easy repairs of the covering. Then once you have finished flying the covering can be permanently repaired.

Ultracote™ Colors

1. Your model is covered with Ultracote™ covering.

In case of repairs, the colors are:

Yellow/Blue Scheme Bright Yellow #872 Midnight Blue #885 White #870

throttle settings with smooth transition from idle to full throttle without stalling or hesitation. Do not fly an unreliable engine. Read engine instructions including break in and tuning completely.

Prop balancing: Ensure prop is properly balanced

prior to mounting on engine.

Flight Controls: Ensure all flight controls are

free from binding and are centered. Check that all hinges are tight and will not pull out. Control linkages must be rigid and tight and have no slop. Confirm proper direction of ailerons, rudder, and elevator. Experienced flyers have lost airplanes due to reversed ailerons. Right roll is right up, left down. Left roll is left up, right down.

Batteries: Transmitter, ignition and receiver bat-

teries are fully charged.

Fasteners: Check all engine bolts, wing bolts,

hatch bolts, servo screws, control horn bolts, wheel collars, and clevis keepers are tight and secure.

Covering: Check all covering and seams are

sealed and secure.

Radio: Check trims set to neutral and controls

centered. Check rate and condition switches set properly. Check the receiver antenna is fully extended and not reversed on it self.

Range check: Do a range check with and without

the engine running in accordance with the radio manufacturer instructions. If there is insufficient range or a large reduction with the engine running, do not fly until it is resolved!

Fuel: Fill the fuel tank before each flight.
