Important Information

Covering coming loose is not COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. Due to temperature changes the plane may develop some wrinkles in the covering that you will need to remove with an iron. Be sure to seal the edges down first so that you do not cause the covering to shrink and leave exposed areas of wood. Please inspect the plane before beginning to assemble to make sure you are happy with it. After assembly has begun you cannot return the kit. If you find a problem before beginning to assemble the plane you must contact us, please do not return it to the dealer.

BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS

Before starting to build this kit, we urge you to read through these instructions. They contain some important building sequences as well as instructions and warnings concerning the assembly and use of the model.

We expect that you have some building experience to take on this model. However, every minute detail is not covered. This is not a basic trainer. The instructions together with the simplicity of this kit will allow you to produce a first class EX-TREME 330 3-D.

BUILDING SUPPLIES NEEDED

Hobby knife w/ #11 blade

Thin Zap CA

30 Minute Z-poxy

Thread lock

Test fit the wing in the fuse. Make any

adjustments needed with a sanding block or round file. Try to keep the fit as tight as possible. Use a ruler to measure to make sure distance A B and C – D are equal. This is important to make sure the plane tracks straight and predictably.

Wire cutters

Pliers

Drill with bits: 1/8”, 5/32”

Phillips and standard screwdriver

Small clamps

Masking tape

Tape measure

Washable marker

Paper towels

Rubbing alcohol

See the list at the end of the instruction book for a list of additional R/C equipment you will need to complete the EX-TREME 330 3-D.

Use a washable marker to mark the location of

the wing in the fuse on both sides, then remove the wing. Remove the covering from the wing joint with a sharp hobby blade, being careful to only cut the covering and not the balsa.

3. Slide the wing back in the fuse, almost to the

wing joint. Coat the bare balsa at the joint with 30 minute z poxy and slide the wing in the rest of the way. Use your marks to realign the wing, then remeasure A to B, and C to D. Clean up any zpoxy that squeezed out with a paper towel and alcohol. Block the entire assembly on your workbench until cured.

Test fit the horizontal stab in the rear of the fuse.

Center it the same way you did the wing using a ruler and make sure it square to the wing, then mark and trim the covering from the joint. Glue in place with 30 minute z poxy.

Test fit the elevator on the stab with 4 CA hinges,

then glue in place with 1 or 2 drops of thin Zap on each side of each hinge. Clean any CA runs with acetone.

Recess the bottom of the tail wheel bracket to

accept the steering arm for the wheel.

Install the tail wheel bracket on the bottom of the

fuse with two 2mm x10mm screws. Align the wire with the back of the fuse.

Install the rudder on the fuse with 30 minute

zpoxy on the tail wheel bracket, then 2 CA hinges and pink zap.

EX-TREME 330 3-D ARF

Install the tail wheel on the bracket using a small

inner diameter wheel collar and set screw on each side of the wheel. Use thread lock on each set screw.

Trial fit, then install an aileron on each side of

10.

the wing with 4 CA hinges and pink zap. Make sure the wing tip and aileron tip are aligned before you glue.

12. Position the aileron control rods off the servos,

toward the ailerons, keeping the rods 90 degrees to the ailerons. Mark the position of the aileron control horns, then install them with the 2mm x 20mm machine screws and backing plates.

Trim a hole using a sharp hobby blade, just

13.

behind the radio hatch on each side of the wing, aligned with the servo, for the aileron control rod.

Install two aileron servos and one throttle servo

11.

in the wing. You may need to open the servo trays to accept the size of your servos. Use a hobby blade or razor saw to open the servo trays. The aileron servos should be located to the outside of the servo trays from the fuse, the throttle servo needs to be close to the fuse.

Use a clevis on the threaded end of the control

14.

rod and install one on each control horn. Lay the rod across the servo arm, then make an “L” bend at each intersection. Trim each rod to ¼” from the bend, install in the horn, and secure with an “L” keeper. Place a small piece of fuel tubing on each clevis to lock in place.
