This instruction manual is designed to help you build a great flying aeroplane. Please read this
manual thoroughly before starting assembly of your MINIMOA. Use the parts listing below to identify
all parts.
WARNING.
Please be aware that this aeroplane is not a toy and if assembled or used incorrectly it is
capable of causing injury to people or property. WHEN YOU FLY THIS AEROPLANE YOU
ASSUME ALL RISK & RESPONSIBILITY.
If you are inexperienced with basic R/C flight we strongly recommend you contact your R/C supplier
and join your local R/C Model Flying Club. R/C Model Flying Clubs offer a variety of training
procedures designed to help the new pilot on his way to successful R/C flight. They will also be able
to advise on any insurance and safety regulations that may apply.

T o avoid scratching your new airplane, do not
unwrap the pieces until they are needed for
assembly. Cover your workbench with an old
towel or brown paper, both to protect the aircraft and to protect the table. Keep a couple of
jars or bowls handy to hold the small parts after you open the bag.
Please trial fit all the parts. Make sure you have
the correct parts and that they fit and are
aligned properly before gluing! This will assure
proper assembly.
MINIMOA ARF is hand made
from natural materials, every plane is unique
and minor adjustments may have to be made.
However, you should find the fit superior and
assembly simple.
The painted and plastic parts used in this kit
are fuel proof. However, they are not tolerant
of many harsh chemicals including the following: paint thinner , C/A glue accelerator , C/A glue
debonder and acetone. Do not let these chemicals come in contact with the colors on the
covering and the plastic parts.

SERVO INSTALLATION.
1) Cut out the switch hole using a modeling
knife. Use a 2mm drill bit and drill out the two
mounting holes through the fuselage side.
2) Secure the switch in place using the
two machine screws provided with the radio
system.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH.
switch
1. Plug the servo leads and the switch
lead into the receiver. Y ou may want to plug
an aileron extension into the receiver to make
plugging in the aileron servo lead easier
when you are installing the wing . Plug the
battery pack lead into the switch.
2. Wrap the receiver and battery pack in
the protective foam to protect them from vibration. Use a rubber band or masking tape to
hold the foam in place.
3. Position the battery pack and receiver
behind the fuel tank. Use two tie wraps to hold
the battery and receiver securely in place as
pictures below
INSTALLING THE RECEIVER AND BA TTERY.
Do not permanently secure the receiver and
battery until after balancing the model.
4. Using a 2mm drill bit, drill a hole through
the side of the fuselage, near the receiver , for
the antenna to exit.

Locate the carbon tube wing dihedral brace.
*** Test fit the carbon tube dihedral brace into

and ends of the brace until it fits properly .

1) It is critical that your airplane be bal-
anced correctly . Improper balance will cause
your plane to lose control and crash.
THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS LOCATED
1 10MM BACK FROM THE LEADING EDGE
OF THE WING .
2) Mount the wing to the fuselage. Using a
couple of pieces of masking tape, place them
on the top side of the wing 1 10 mm back from
the leading edge, at the fuselage sides.
3. Turn the airplane upside down. Place
your fingers on the masking tape and carefully lift the plane .
BALANCING.
Accurately mark the balance point on the top
of the wing on both sides of the fuselage. The
balance point is located 110mm back from
the leading edge. This is the balance point at
which your model should balance for your first
flights. Later , you may wish to experiment by
shifting the balance up to 10mm forward or
back to change the flying characteristics.
Moving the balance forward may improve the
smoothness and arrow- like tracking, but it
may then require more speed for take off
and make it more difficult to slow down for
landing. Moving the balance aft makes the
model more agile with a lighter and snappier
”feel”. In any case, please start at the location we recommend .

PRE-FLIGHT CHECK.
1) Completely charge your transmitter and
receiver batteries before your first day of flying.
2) Check every bolt and every glue joint in
your plane to ensure that everything is tight
and well bonded.
3) Double check the balance of the
airplane.
6) Properly balance the propeller.
We wish you many safe and enjoyable
flights with your MINIMOA.
4) Check the control surface.
5) Check the receiver antenna . It should
be fully extended and not coiled up inside the
fuselage.
With the wing attached to the fuselage, all
parts of the model installed ( ready to fly), and
empty fuel tanks, hold the model at the
marked balance point with the stabilizer level.
Lift the model. If the tail drops when you
lift, the model is “tail heavy” and you must
add weigh* to the nose. If the nose drops, it
is “nose heavy” and you must add weight* to
the tail to balance.
*If possible, first attempt to balance the model
by changing the position of the receiver battery and receiver. If you are unable to obt ain
good balance by doing so, then it will be necessary to add weight to the nose or tail to
achieve the proper balance point.
CONTROL THROWS.
1) We highly recommend setting up a
plane using the control throws listed.
2) The control throws should be meas-
ured at the widest point of each control surface.
3) Check to be sure the control surfaces
move in the correct directions.
