Introduction
The Hawker Sea Fury was a British fighter aircraft developed by Hawker for the Royal Navy during the Second World War. The Sea Fury was designed as a single piston engine, propeller driven fighter for aircraft carrier take-offs and landings. It is known for being one of the fastest single piston engine aircraft ever built and while it arrived too late for service during WWII, it did serve admirably during the Korean War. The
well known historical event for the Hawker Sea Fury was on August 9, 1952, when Lieutenant Peter "Hoagy" Carmichael of the Royal Navy shot down a MiG-15 jet-powered fighter in combat. This was one of very few piston-engine powered fighters to successfully engage a turbine-powered adversary.
E-flite has produced the Hawker Sea Fury 400 ARF as an EPS injection-molded foam model to offer lightweight, durable and easily repairable construction. The scale detail is complete with accurately molded panel lines and a factory painted and installed cockpit, pilot figure and canopy. For additional scale detail, optional factory finished rockets and retractable landing
gear can also be installed. This 400-sized aircraft boasts factory installed spars, hinges, and control horns. You have the option to select between the included fixed landing gear or retractable landing gear. All of the parts are included for either of the landing gear options.
The E-flite Hawker Sea Fury has an elliptical shaped wing that offers gentle flight characteristics not typically found in this class of model. The bolt-on wing is easily removed for transportability and access to on-board electronics. Other electronics are easily accessible through the magnetic battery hatch. The Sea Fury has lightly loaded flight characteristics resulting in smooth handling and ease of flight. This warbird gives the modeler different power options with the factory installed stick motor mount. This model is perfect for mounting 400-480 size outrunner brushless motors. The model is matched with popular sized batteries
for excellent power and flight duration potential. This warbird boasts scale details, a high level of prefabrication, and flight characteristics that are unmatched by the competition.

Using the Manual
This manual is divided into sections to help make assembly easier to understand, and to provide breaks between each major section. In addition, check boxes have been placed next to each step to keep track of its completion. Steps with a single circle () are performed once, while steps with two circles ( ) indicate that the step will require repeating, such as for a right or left wing panel, two servos, etc.
Remember to take your time and follow the directions.

Required Radio Equipment
You will need a minimum 3-channel transmitter, crystals, receiver, and three sub-micro servos. You can choose to purchase a complete radio system. If you are using an existing transmitter, just purchase the other required equipment separately. We recommend the crystal-free, interference-free Spektrum™ DX6i 2.4GHz DSM® 6-channel system. If using your own transmitter, we recommend the E-flite® S75 Sub-Micro Servos.
If you own the Spektrum DX6i radio, just add the AR6100E DSM2™ 6-channel receiver and three (to six) of our E-flite S75 Sub-Micro Servos.

Notes Regarding Servos and ESC
WARNING: Use of servos other than those we recommend may overload the BEC of the recommended Electronic Speed Control (ESC). We suggest the use of only the servos we recommend when utilizing the recommended ESC’s BEC, or the use of a separate BEC (like the UBEC) or receiver battery pack when using other servos.
Note on Lithium Polymer Batteries
Lithium Polymer batteries are significantly more volatile than alkaline or Ni-Cd/Ni-MH batteries used in RC applications. All manufacturer’s instructions and warnings must be followed closely. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can result in fire. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when disposing of Lithium Polymer batteries.
Warning
An RC aircraft is not a toy! If misused, it can cause serious bodily harm and damage to property. Fly only in open areas, preferably at AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) approved flying sites, following all instructions included with your radio.
Keep loose items that can get entangled in the propeller away from the prop, including loose clothing, or other objects such as pencils and screwdrivers. Especially keep your hands away from the propeller.

m 5. Place the retract in the Up position and insert the retract servo in the pocket. Do not connect the linkage to the retract servo at this time. Use the radio to move the servo arm to the Up position. Hold the linkage to the arm to make sure the linkage aligns with the servo arm. Adjust the end point at the radio to align the arm with the linkage.
E-flite Hawker Sea Fury 400 ARF Assembly Manual
m 6. Place the retract in the down position and use the radio to move the servo to the down position. Do not connect the linkage to the retract servo at this time.
Hold the linkage to the arm to make sure the linkage aligns with the servo arm. Adjust the end point at the radio to align the arm with the linkage.
