Global Hobby Phase 3 Ultimate, Phase 3 Pitts Instruction Manual

Phase3, the new choice in performance 3D profiles. This new selection of two biplanes for indoor or still-air use brings a fresh look to profile
lightweight foam aircraft. Each is made from a special foam laminate, which provides a strong structure that resists damage and can carry a
dramatic color scheme. By limiting the material to 4.5mm and by using a tissue-light surface to print on, we've managed to keep weight to an
absolute minimum. Unlike so many of these models, the Phase3 designs have a solid color scheme printed on all sides - no single-surface,
transparent colors here!

Each model has factory-installed carbon strip spars and fuselage stiffeners for strength, without the unsightly and heavier wood used in other
models. The undercarriage struts are also made from carbon and secured into molded plastic brackets on reinforced surfaces.

Assembly is simple and easy. You'll need a power system and radio gear. The Cirrus micro servos and receiver are the perfect choice for your
new Phase3 profile, although any lightweight equipment can be used. For the economy minded, we have 370 motors and gear boxes available.
For those who want more spirited performance, small outrigger-style brushless, direct drive motors with 2-3 LiPO cells perform perfectly.

THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR BOTH THE ULTIMATE AND THE PITTS. RECOMMENDED ITEMS FOR FLIGHT

AND THE RECOMMENDED ITEMS NECESSARY TO BUILD EACH AIRPLANE ARE THE SAME.

LITHIUM POLYMER BATTERY WARNINGS - PLEASE READ

●

LiPO batteries may explode or catch fire. Serious injury can result from misuse.

●

All instructions, warnings and cautions must be followed at all times. Failure to do so can lead to serious injury or fire.

●

Do NOT overcharge. Maximum voltage for each pack must be followed.

●

Do NOT over-discharge. NEVER discharge below minimum volts.

●

Do NOT discharge at a rate greater than the maximum continuous discharge.

●

Do NOT use or charge if the battery is hot.

●

ONLY use a charger made for Lithium Polymer batteries.

●

Do NOT charge at a rate higher than 1C. Example: if the battery’s rating is 340mAH, then the charger’s charge rate must be set at 340mAH or less.

●

Do NOT leave in direct sunlight or in a hot car or storage area.

●

Do NOT get wet or expose to moisture.

●

Do NOT short-circuit the battery.

●

ONLY discharge and charge the battery outdoors or in a fire-safe container.

●

Do NOT charge with reverse polarity.

●

Do NOT leave the battery connected when not in use.

●

Do NOT operate or charge unattended.

●

Do NOT solder to the battery directly and do not get the battery hot in any way.

●

Always let the battery cool and "rest" between uses and charging.

●

Do NOT charge inside your car or inside your house.

●

Inspect the battery before each use for swelling or other malformation. If the cell has ballooned, it MUST be discarded.

●

Set the charger to 1C (charge at 1/2C or less for the first 5 cycles).

●

Check polarity and then connect battery to charger.

●

In use, do not over-discharge or exceed maximum discharge.

●

When handling the battery, remember not to poke, bend or damage the cell. The cell outer casing is soft and can be damaged.

●

Remember, the cells must never exceed 160 degrees Fahrenheit for any reason.

To save weight and make building time quicker, we suggest using foam-friendly C/A instead of epoxy to assemble the airplane.
If you use C/A, you MUST USE FOAM-FRIENDLY C/A AND FOAM-FRIENDLY C/A "KICKER." If you use C/A and C/A "Kicker"
that is not foam-friendly, the C/A will melt the foam and ruin the airplane.

If you're installing the recommended KMS 2410-9 brushless motor, you will need to make a motor mounting plate out of a piece
of 1/8" plywood. A template and mounting instructions are included on page # 15.

AIRPLANE ASSEMBLY

If you use the Pacer Aerosol Zip-Kicker that is recommended, it is very important that you use it properly to prevent
melting the foam. Always spray a very light "mist" from no less than 12" (305mm) from the surfaces to be glued. After
spraying the surfaces, immediately wipe off any excess with a soft towel. If you spray too much on one area or leave it on
too long, it will melt the foam. All assembly shown is done with foam-friendly C/A and Aerosol Zip-Kicker.

STEP # 1: HINGING THE AILERONS

the clear tape stick better to the foam, you should apply a thin layer of foam-friendly C/A to the areas where the clear tape will be applied.

✦✦

✦ To make a strong hinge joint, it's important to apply clear tape to both the top AND bottom of the hinge line. To make

✦✦

❑ Sand a 45º bevel into the bottom leading edge of all four ailerons.

❑ Apply a thin bead of foam-friendly C/A to the top and bottom of the

ailerons (only where the hinge tape will be applied), then spread the
C/A into a thin, even layer, using your finger.

Place your finger in a plastic baggy or wrap plastic wrap around

☞

your finger to prevent getting C/A on your finger.

❑ Apply a thin, even layer of foam-friendly C/A onto the top and bottom

of the wings (only where the hinge tape will be applied).

✦✦

✦IMPORTANT

✦✦

❑ While holding the aileron tight against the wing and level with the top

of the wing, apply a strip of clear tape to the top of the parts to hinge the
aileron into place.

❑ Turn the wing upside down and deflect the aileron up approximately

45º. While holding the aileron up at a 45º angle, apply a strip of clear
tape to the bottom of the hinge line.

❑ Push the clear tape gently into the hinge line, then pivot the aileron up

and down several times to ensure free hinge movement in both directions.

✦✦

✦ Allow the C/A to fully cure before proceeding.

✦✦

❑ Repeat to hinge the remaining three ailerons.

on top of the wing, over the C/G, then check the balance of the airplane
(refer to page # 15). If the airplane is nose heavy, remove the motor
assembly and cut the motor mount shorter, so that the motor is mounted
further back. Repeat this procedure until the airplane balances. If the
airplane is tail heavy, don't cut the motor mount shorter. Leave it the
standard length. You'll simply need to mount the battery farther forward
when you install it later.

BALANCE POINT AND CONTROL THROWS

BALANCE POINT AND CONTROL THROWS FOR ULTIMATE

Balance Point:

2-3/4" - 3-3/4" (70mm - 92mm) back from the leading edge of the TOP wing, at the fuselage sides.

We suggest starting with the balance point at 2-3/4" (70mm), then moving it back as you become more proficient with the
airplane. Moving the balance point back will make the airplane more aerobatic, but less stable.

DO NOT fly the airplane without first balancing it. The airplane should sit level or slightly nose down when you lift it up with your
fingers at the balance point. It might be necessary to move the battery forward or backward to balance the airplane.

Control Throws:

TEST-FLYING

Ailerons: 15º Up & Down
Elevator: 15º Up & Down
Rudder: 15º Right & Left

Control throws are measured from the

widest point of the control surfaces

Ailerons: 40º or More Up & Down
